Murder of Veronica Gedeon

Veronica Gedeon (1917 – March 28, 1937) was a 20-year-old commercial model from Long Island City whose murder (along with her mother, Mary, and a boarder, Frank Burns) during Easter Weekend in 1937 captivated New York City. It was reported widely in newspapers there. After Gedeon's murderer was apprehended there were substantial changes in the psychiatric laws in the state of New York.

The case was the subject of a 2015 episode of Investigation Discovery's series A Crime to Remember (Season 3, Episode 4, "Such A Pretty Face"). It was also featured in a 2017 episode of the Travel Channel’s series Mysteries at the Museum (Season 17, Episode 2, "Antis the Radar Dog, Bringing Up the Baby and the Art of Murder").
