THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Ian W. A murderer was stalking the streets.Īs women were warned not to travel alone, an intense manhunt ensued. This low lighting was the backdrop for a series of murders committed by Edward Joseph Leonski, a smiling psychopath who became known as The Brownout Strangler. Murder in the Dark refers to a childhood game (also played by adults) in which one person is secretly appointed murderer, another is appointed detective. Six days later another woman was found dead and her body told the same horrific story. But then a third woman, Gladys Hosking, was found dead just 350 metres from her home. Detectives worked around the clock to find the killer. Not long after their arrival, the city would be gripped by panic when the body of a woman was found strangled, partially naked and brutally beaten. Six days later, 31-year-old Pauline Coral Thompson, wife of a Bendigo police constable, was found lying on the steps of her home, her clothes in tatters. But those US forces didn't guarantee safety.
