Crime Scenes with Coffee Beans

The Brownout Strangler

Belinda Brady Season 1 Episode 6

It's May 1942, and Melbourne, Australia, just like the rest of the world, is in the grips of WW2. As a result, Melbourne is in 'brownout' a term used to describe the low lighting the city used to avoid enemy detection (think minimal streetlights, shops lights etc).A killer takes advantage of this low lighting and three women are found strangled, all within days of each other. As a new fear grips the area, particularly the women living in it, the last victim's death will be the one that brings a new, unheard of hatred to light and a killer to justice. Join Belinda over a cup of joe, or a cheeky cocktail, as we travel back to wartime 1942 to discuss the Brownout Strangler.
