#53: Eddie Leonski, the "Brownout Strangler"


Listen Later

Edward Joseph Leonski was also known as Eddie--but  later on, he would be remembered as the “Brownout Strangler” and the “Singing Strangler.” Kevin and Amy look into this 78-year old Australian/American crime and make a few poop jokes while we are at it.
