Getting rid of body hair can be deadly

Atleast in some circumstances...
Like when you are going in for an electrolysis appointment to get rid of pesky chin and chest hairs.
Kathleen Egan was set to be wed and determined that she'd go to her honeymoon without those unsightly hairs. Mae Gazzo was the woman she went to see to rid herself of them. Both ladies would end up dead.
Police surmise that the ladies were interrupted during the appointment by an armed assailant. Mae fled to the bridge club rooms just on the other side of her office, presumably to open a window and call for help. Kathleen, already atleast partially disrobed, would be dragged along by the assailant in pursuit of Mae.
Mae was shot while by the window, she must have grabbed onto the curtains as they lay over her. Kathleen would try to flee in the other direction, but would be forced down, completely disrobed and then shot. Her underthings would be found near Mae.
Was this premeditated? I do not think the perpetrator was going after Kathleen because he would have to know she would be there. I believe that Mae was the target.
The ladies had been robbed as well.
This happened in 1956
Everyone agrees it was an accident. Alcohol. High heels. A fifth-floor walk-up. The receptionist at my favorite hair salon met her demise a few weeks ago due to alcohol, high-heels, and a fifth-flo…

@LadyDuck The link I shared shows the layout of the 2nd floor where the crime occured. At the bottom right are the two offices that the doctors worked out of, the rest of the floor is dedicated to the bridge club.

They could have been intending to rob the bridge club rooms, but I am not so sure about that. I would think that the doctor's office would be labeled. I am assuming that it was still normal business hours as the doctor in the other suite ( a different specialty) was still there as well and I believe he was with a patient.
I think that it was premeditated and that the perpetrator was after the elctrolysis doctor.

@ScribbledAdNauseum This is also a possibility, but we do not know how cabinets worked in 1956.

This all sounds very strange to me and so sorry that it had to happen to these ladies.

I think that the lady named Mae was who the perp was after. I don't think many knew about Kathleen's appointment. Maybe a girlfriend or two, but that would be it.

Sorry for them. But this sounds like an interesting case of those times.

Yes, I agree, it's very interesting. It is sad what happened, especially to Kathleen who was to be married.

@smileyhema I always wonder if the man remarried in stories like this.

These criminals acts are just horrible to learn how evil some people can be.

Personally I think that the lady performing the electrolysis knew her attacker. It appears as if she moved very quickly. Not that she couldn't have moved quickly regardless, but it does make me wonder if she saw his face, recognized him (and feared him) and ran.

@MarymargII It's very likely. She could have seen his weapon and ran because of that. It's possible that the attack was random, but I do not think it was. The client could have known the man, there's any number of things. I don't like to think that the client / patient knew the man because the patient was happy, about to be wed... I wouldn't expect anything bad to touch her, you know what I mean?
There was another office there as well, the perpetrator could have know the other doctor.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes I would think so too. But could there be another reason perhaps?

Very sad too, the poor woman was to be married. I think that the doctor was who the perpetrator was after, Kathleen was collateral damage.
