Episode 188 - Michael Alig: Confessions of a Club Kid Killer

In a world where drug use was rampant and controversy was currency, confessions of murder weren't even enough to raise heavily painted eyebrows. This is the story of how one of New York's hottest promoters fell from grace to cause the death of a man and the death of New York's club scene.


In this week's episode of RedHanded, we discuss the killing of Angel Melendez and how Michael Alig went from making TV appearances at the forefront of the groundbreaking Club Kid movement, to killing a man, and then chopping him up in exchange for ten bags of heroin.
