The Lei Strangler left a lei around their victims’ necks.
Which would have made sense in Hawaii.
But this was Vermont. In Winter.
These weren’t cheap plastic lei.
These were handmade lei with real flowers and string.
No, they didn’t strangle the victims with lei.
The strings were too fragile. they’d break easily.
And the lei were draped over the victims’ necks post-mortem.
Because the flowers were so fragile.
There were a dozen murders over the course of a month.
And then they stopped.
The police never solved the crime.
Or all the weird maple syrup murders in Hawaii, either.
