Summary

Hey Slaycaters, welcome to what might be the most insane case we’ve ever covered on this show. Which is really saying a lot. Not only does this case take place literally in our backyard of the East Village of New York City, at a time (late 80’s/early 90’s) when all three of us were in and around the area — but what actually transpired is beyond the scope of any nightmare you could imagine. The less you know the better — but let’s just say poor Monika Beerle, a 26-year old dancer from Switzerland could not have found a worse roommate situation…or a worse roommate than Daniel Rakowitz, a man known for walking around Tompkins Square Park with his pet rooster. Please be warned — this one gets intense. As always thanks for Slaycating with us & please choose the people you decide to live with carefully!
