About this listen

Reid Carter examines the 45th anniversary of John Lennon's assassination. December 8, 1980: Mark David Chapman waited outside the Dakota building all day, got Lennon's autograph at 5pm, then shot him four times in the back at 10:50pm. The 25-year-old security guard from Hawaii traveled to New York twice—first in October, losing his nerve, then returning December 6th with hollow-point bullets. Hours before the murder, photographer Paul Goresh captured the iconic image: Lennon signing Chapman's Double Fantasy album while his killer watched. Chapman never fled. Police found him reading The Catcher in the Rye over Lennon's blood.
