Michael Winley, 29, was murdered in New York, New York, on December 23, 1981. His body was found in the Harlem River, and investigators linked his death to a series of killings that began earlier that month.

Authorities identified David Bullock, 21 and from Manhattan, as Winley’s roommate and the suspect in a string of murders between December 5, 1981, and January 4, 1982. Bullock confessed to killing Winley and five other people, saying his actions were motivated by the Christmas spirit. The victims included a performer with the Manhattan Light Opera Co., a prostitute, another man, Bullock’s own lover, and a person killed during a robbery.

Bullock was charged with six counts of second-degree murder, pleaded guilty to all counts, and was examined by psychiatrists who found no mental illness. On November 29, 1982, Justice Burton Roberts sentenced him to six consecutive terms of 25 years to life, totaling a minimum of 150 years. Does anyone have information about Michael Winley or his life before December 1981?
