The Night Strangler[]

Carl Kolchak encountered Gladys a few times during his investigation, when he was seeking details about the death of her coworker. She was unable to provide any useful information, although she later told Kolchak trivia about the Seattle Underground .

At the time of her death, Gladys was in a long-term relationship with her partner Wilma Krankheimer. Unlike Wilma, Gladys seems to have been interested in men as well as women.

Gladys was eventually killed by the Strangler in her dressing room, and Wilma was unable to stop him.
