Roseann M. Quinn (November 17, 1944 – January 2, 1973) was an American schoolteacher in New York City who was stabbed to death in 1973 by a man she had met at a bar.

The case was the subject of a Season 3 episode 2 of Investigation Discovery's series A Crime to Remember in 2015 ("Last Night Stand").

When she was 13, Quinn spent a year in the hospital after a back operation (due to scoliosis), which left her with a slight limp.

"[citation needed] Quinn enrolled at Newark State College (now Kean University) where she majored in elementary education and graduated in 1966.

In September 1969, she began teaching at St. Joseph's School for the Deaf[5] in the Bronx, where she taught a class of eight eight-year-olds.

[citation needed] According to her acquaintances and neighbors, Quinn would sit by herself and read at bars on the West Side.

[citation needed] Quinn had been attending night courses at Hunter College, and by December 1972, had completed about half of the requirements for a master's degree in her specialty of teaching the deaf.

Wilson and Quinn went to her studio apartment at 253 West 72nd Street on the 7th floor,[7] where they smoked marijuana and attempted to have intercourse.

After a struggle, Wilson picked up a knife and, according to his police statement, stabbed Quinn 18 times in the neck and abdomen.

Believing that Wilson was fabricating the story in order to get a plane ticket home, Guest gave him enough money to leave town.

The authorities at St. Joseph's School, alarmed that Quinn had neither called nor shown up for work in two days, sent a teacher to her apartment to check up on her.

A broom stick had been inserted in her vagina and seminal fluid was found, thus calling Wilson's account into question.

Her funeral was held on January 6, 1973, at St. Mary's Church in Wharton, a mile from her family's home in Mine Hill.

Guest agonized over the fact that his information could send his friend Wilson to prison for life or to death row.

[citation needed] NYPD detectives Patrick Toomey and John Lafferty of the Fourth District Homicide Squad flew to Indiana, where, accompanied by Indianapolis Police Sgt.

After spending some weeks in the Tombs, Wilson was sent to Bellevue Hospital Center on April 19 to be tested for childhood brain damage, which his attorney planned to claim as part of an insanity defense.
