A 25-year-old and 33-year-old found dead in Manhattan in 2022 were murdered, according to an ABC News report—making them the latest victims in a potential pattern of drugging and beating incidents traced to gay clubs.

Shortly afterward, somebody accessed their financial accounts, emptying the savings of one and running up some $200,000 in charges on the other. The district attorney has charged a suspect in a pair of similar killings but has yet to formally link the two sets of homicides. The total number of victims may number as many as seven, ABC reported.
