One of Leach's detectives, who was directly responsible for Cook ultimately confessing to the Australia Day attacks, admitted to driving Cook past Gillian Brewer's home after his arrest. His hope was that Cook would admit to the murder, which the detective didn't believe Beamish was responsible for.

John Button and Daryl Beamish were just two of Eric Edgar Cook's living victims whose lives were permanently altered and damaged. Cook's own family were victims of him as well. He kept up a facade with his wife Sally while also spending copious amounts of time away from her and their children.

He'd demand that she lock all the doors to stay safe while he was out prowling the streets of Perth. He came up with his own special knock and whistle so when he returned home after a long night out, she would know it was him outside. When he arrived home, Sally quickly pulled him inside and said, I hate this killer on the loose. When are they gonna catch him?

The date that Cook was finally arrested for murder in 1963 was Father's Day.

The news of what he was charged with had come as an enormous shock. As Sally Cook stated in After the Night, quote, I knew he was a thief and a womaniser, but that's far different to being a murderer.
