Leonard Fraser was born in Ingham, Queensland, Australia to a WWII veteran and a homemaker. He was the second-youngest of 5 kids, and had a challenging childhood, which only led to an even more challenging adulthood…not just for him, but for all the women he came in contact with. Leonard was in and out of jail his entire life, and ultimately died there for a series of violent murders.
