Murder of the Krim siblings

The La Rochelle, an apartment building situated at 57 West 75th Street, became the site of a profound tragedy on October 25, 2012. On that afternoon, six-year-old Lucia Krim and two-year-old Leo Krim were fatally stabbed in the bathroom of their family home. Their mother, Marina Krim, made the discovery after returning to the apartment with her surviving daughter, Nessie, upon realizing their nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, had failed to meet them at a scheduled dance class. The incident remains one of the most harrowing events in the history of this neighborhood, leaving a lasting impact on the local community.
