...daylight, the rescuers were exhausted. New York City police harbor patrolman Anthony Sgueglia was standing on the dock wearing heavy blue rubber gloves. The bodies Sgueglia found were badly bruised, with most of the limbs broken. The county medical examiner would later say many of the victims technically drowned, though they may already have been unconscious when they hit water. No one was found alive...

...Mather House. He was threatened at knife point, beaten and left with a cut over his right eye and multiple bruises on his face and head. Just two weeks later, the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) revealed that a female student jogging on Memorial Drive was raped in broad daylight. This spring, there was an attempted sexual assault on a female student on Linden Street about 11 p.m. And over the course of four months this winter, thieves broke into Matthews Hall 32 times, several times entering student rooms and stealing valuables...
