Case 218

The Blackout Killers

*** Content Warning: serial killer, sexual assault, stalking ***

[Part 2 of 2]

In Berlin, Germany at the height of World War Two, a man took advantage of the Blackout orders at night to frighten and assault women in an isolated garden colony. Soon, he progressed to attacking and killing women on the S-Bahn train by throwing them from the carriage door while the train was in motion.

The Kripo worked to catch the killer but he outsmarted them at every turn, continuing to injure some and kill others. Investigations led to a man named Paul Ogorzow but he had a very strong alibi and was dismissed. So where was the S-Bahn Killer?
