Anniversary of Sid (possibly) killing Nancy.


New York, October 12, 1978 (32 years ago today), Nancy Spungen lay dead on the bathroom floor of room 100 in the Chelsea Hotel. She bled to death from a stab wound to her abdomin. Her boyfriend Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols is arrested for her murder.

But Sid died of a heroin overdose before the trial, February 2, 1979.

So this murder mystery was never solved. There's theories that it was a drug dealer that killed Nancy, or that she did herself in while messed on smack. And then there's poor Sid, who was too high to remember anything. I don't think it was him. He was probably passed out the entire time it happened. But anyway, so began the biggest unsolved case in punk history ...
