The Career Girls Murders was the name given by the media to the brutal killings of Emily Hoffert and Janice Wylie in their apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City, USA on August 28, 1963. The murders were committed on the very day that Martin Luther King, Jr. was delivering his famous I Have a Dream speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.. It has become infamous not just because of its nature but also due to a major miscarriage of justice in which a young African-American, George Whitmore, Jr, was accused of this and other crimes but later cleared. The "Career Girl Murders" were only a part of the trials and tribulations of George Whitmore. The grossly improper actions of the police department lead Whitmore to be improperly accused of this and other crimes including the murder of Minnie Edmonds, and the attempted rape and assault of Elba Borrer.
