Strong desires to … choke her,” he would later tell police. Little admired the way the moonlight illuminated her pale throat. Estranged from her family, struggling to survive, she was the kind of woman who might disappear from the face of the Earth without attracting much notice. The tip of her left pinkie finger was missing, sliced off in a kitchen accident, and she walked with a limp from hip surgery.īrosley said she had left a series of lovers and two children in Massachusetts after endless confrontations about her drinking. She was a frail, vulnerable woman, about 5-foot-4 and anorexic, barely 80 pounds. He’d met her at a nearby bar, drinking away the final hours of 1970. Before long, Mary Brosley had straddled his lap.
