Camden was a shithole even in the early '70s. My great grandmother was robbed, beaten, tied up and left for dead on the floor of her tenement looking apartment. She was found alive a few days later.

Woah. I'm not questioning the authenticity of your story, but do you have a news article about that? That's a crazy thing to have happen to you anywhere and I'd be curious where exactly in Camden it occurred.
This was the 70s so of course you can't exactly link a story. This wouldn't have been that big of a story back then - too much crime going on at once.
Can't verify the parent story but can verify that Camden was a stinkhole in the early 70's.
