Club Kids Kill An Angel
Robert "Freeze" Riggs and Michael Alig were once fixtures on the decadent New York nightclub scene. So was Angel Melendez, whose flashy outfits often included a pair of gauzy wings. One day, the three "club kids" got into a fight. A hammer was swung, a syringe was filled with Drano, and Angel ended up in a cardboard box in the Hudson River. This is Riggs's confession to cops. He and Alig are now doing time for their role in Melendez's death.
