Then on the night of June 20, 1992, the men graduated to killers.

Around 11pm, the pair walked up on the sandy shore behind the Paradise Point
mansion of widower and retired businessman Hugo Benscher, 89.

He had moved to the Gold Coast 10 years before for the fishing and warmer
weather. Known locally as a wealthy eccentric, Mr Benscher was often seen
driving his Mercedes Benz.

Mr Benscher, who ran a tannery before retiring, had his house on the market and
planned to return to Sydney to live near his son.

The German immigrant lived alone and would often leave a rear door unlocked.

Police believe Mr Benscher was awake when the men broke in as he was later
found dressed in pants, a shirt with a jacket and cap. They do not know if he
surprised them before the men overpowered the former amateur boxer who was
described by friends as a "fitness fanatic".

What transpired is not clear but his bedroom and an adjoining storeroom was
ransacked.

A friend, who visited each morning to help with shopping and banking, knocked
on Mr Benscher's door around 8.15am but there was no answer. Worried, he went
around the back and entered through an unlocked sliding door.

He found Mr Benscher in the hallway with his feet and hands bound with
electrical tape.

Material had been placed like a hood over his head and tape was used as a crude
gag. The gag cut off his oxygen supply and killed him.

Like other home invasions, Mr Benscher's phone line was cut.
As Mr Benscher lived alone and his children interstate, they do not know
whether anything was stolen. He was known to keep large amounts of money in the
house but a police search found nothing.

"You have the right to be hopeful if you do your duty"-Ten Letters by Leo Baeck
to Friedrich Brodnitz, 1937-1941
The Leo Baeck Institute Yearbook Advance Access published online on September

Dr. Friedrich Brodnitz, Who Restored Voices of Sopranos and Baritones,Dies at 96
By ROBERT McG. THOMAS Jr.
Published: October 22, 1995
NYtimes.com
Dr. Friedrich S. Brodnitz, who treated the raspy rich and famous as well as
ordinary people with voice and throat problems, died on Thursday at Lenox Hill
Hospital. He was 96, and until three years ago had maintained a practice across
the street from Carnegie Hall.

As an otolaryngologist, or ear, nose and throat specialist, Dr. Brodnitz was
primarily a larynx man. He devoted his life to problems of the vocal cords,
especially if they interfered with the livelihood of opera singers, actors or
other professional voice users (P.V.U.'s), the trendy modern term for those
from telephone solicitors to train conductors who use their voice in their
work.

For more than half a century, Dr. Brodnitz, a longtime chief of the voice and
speech clinic at Mount Sinai Medical Center, was the man to see if a soprano's
vibrato began to sputter or a baritone's golden tones suddenly turned brown.

Whether it was a muscle strain in the larynx, polyps on the vocal cords or
merely a wobble in the upper register, he would be ready with a remedy,
sometimes right there in the front row at the Metropolitan Opera House.

Indeed, his wife, Henny, said yesterday, for 30 years "Leontyne Price wouldn't
go on unless he was in the audience."

In addition to Miss Price, the soprano Lotte Lehmann and the baritone Dietrich
Fischer-Dieskau, the celebrity patients he treated over the years included
Arthur Godfrey, Kate Nelligan, Kaye Ballard and a disparate pair of
politicians, Abraham D. Beame and Nelson A. Rockefeller.

Dr. Brodnitz, who was born in Berlin, received a classical education, including
nine years of Latin and six of Greek, before studying at the universities of
Berlin and Freiburg.

When he arrived in the United States in 1937, he was something of a novelty
among ear, nose and throat specialists, having been trained in both
otolaryngology and phoniatry, or speech therapy.

The dual specialty gave him an advantage in dealing with singers and others
whose voice problems often stem not from allergies, infections and the like but
from improper vocal techniques.

Dr. Brodnitz, who prescribed exercise regimens as well as medication, was a
pioneer in the so-called chewing method, exercises designed to strengthen and
realign the throat muscles to produce less strain on and better control of the
vocal cords.

Recognized as an authority by his colleagues, he also established his
credentials with the public. His 1953 book for laymen, "Keep Your Voice
Healthy: A Guide to the Intelligent Use and Care of the Speaking and Singing
Voice," is regarded as a standard.

The book, which among other things warns about the dangers of smoking and
cautions against straining to be heard over the din of a noisy restaurant, is
still in print, in an updated edition published by Singular Press.

His wife is his only immediate survivor.
