Scranton's coldest case: Reporter Lew Marcus looks back on the Tommy Genova murder
On Jan. 26, 1981, Scranton School Director Tommy Genova was running late for a school board meeting. He exited his car behind the district's administration building and was shot in the back, dying a few hours later. Scranton Tribune reporter Lew Marcus was in the building covering the school board meeting when the shooting occurred and talks about that night and the years that followed.
Editor's note: During the episode, we refer to Tommy Genova's brother as a state trooper. The trooper mentioned was his cousin, not his brother.
