History:
(Monsters Unleashed I#4/9 (fb) - BTS) - Sara Conroy
became a New York police officer. At some point, her husband Eric
acquired the curse of the werewolf and over nine years, she cared for
him during times of transformation, holding him back from danger.
However, a serial killer dubbed the Hanling Killer (secretly Assistant
District Attorney Robert Dalquist) stalked the New York streets,
targeting women. Unbeknown to her, Eric had witnessed a murder and
Dalquist had set about framing Eric for the killings.
(Monsters Unleashed I#4/9) - Dalquist ordered Sara
into his office and told her to stop working the streets as he doubted
she could arrest him. She left work and went to where she suspected
Eric hid: the Metropolitan Opera. She reached it at midnight in the
rain. Her contact Morris the night watchman didn't open the door, so she
forced her way in and found him ripped apart; she suspected Eric.
However, the nefarious Dalquist had followed her and set off
disorienting stage lights and let loose stage rigging in a bizarre hunt
that wore her down until Dalquist stood over her with a gun and laid
out his plan to murder her and frame Eric for her death. He would then
hand the death penalty to Eric. Instead, in werewolf form, Eric leapt
in and attacked Dalquist, tearing him apart in feral rage. Eric turned
to Sara, but she saw only hate and hunger in Eric's werewolf form. Eric
lunged at her and she fired her gun in self-defense, killing him. Eric
transformed back into human form as he died and they declared their
love for each other. Later, the media sought her response over the
event, but she was tired (and perhaps relieved).
Comments: Created by Chris Claremont & Don Perlin.
No silver bullets required (although she did load her own gun before heading out at night to look for her husband, knowing he was in werewolf form...).

CLARIFICATIONS
:
Sara Conroy has no known connections to:
Eric Conroy was Sara's husband and was wrote fondly
about
theater. At some point, he acquired the werewolf curse.
Over nine years, Sara
helped him with his rage during his nights of transformation as best
she could; he often hid in the Opera's catacombs. But a serial killer
(secretly Assistant District Attorney Robert Dalquist) stalked the New
York streets. By chance, Eric witnessed the 19th murder, but chose not
to go to the police due to his were wolf curse. Dalquist quickly set
plans to frame Eric for the murders and made Eric the prime suspect.
Dalquist ordered Sara remove herself from street work due to her
connection with Eric and she later went to the empty Metropolitan Opera
at midnight looking for Eric. There, she found that Eric had ripped the
night guard Morris. Dalquist tired Sara by dropping stage rigging
around her and was about to shoot her when Eric attacked him and tore
Dalquist apart. Eric turned to Sara, barely recognizing her, while Sara
saw only his rage and feral hunting fury. She defended herself by
firing her gun when Eric lunged at her. He transformed back into human
form and they declared their love for each other.
--Monsters Unleashed I#4/9
Robert Dalquist was the tough Assistant District
Attorney, but secretly the serial killer called the Hanling Killer
targeting New York women. Police officer Sara Conroy's husband Eric
witnessed the 19th death and Dalquist sought to frame him for the murder
when Eric didn't go to the police (due to his troubled history as a
werewolf). Dalquist ordered Sara stop working the streets as her
husband Eric had now become the prime suspect in the murders. Dalquist
followed Sara as she went to the Metropolitan Opera, hoping to find her
husband. Dalquist dropped stage riggings that weakened Sara until he
confronted her and told her of his plan to murder her and frame
Eric for it, then pass the death penalty to Eric. Instead, Eric,
secretly hidden in werewolf form, lunged at Dalquist and ripped him
apart in a lethal rage.
