Before Jack the Ripper, another killer stalked London. Between 1873 and 1889, dismembered bodies of women were discovered in the River Thames, torsos carefully wrapped, heads missing, and identities erased. These were the Thames Torso Murders: a series of methodical killings that baffled Scotland Yard and terrified Victorian society. In this episode, we explore London's forgotten nightmare, the city's other serial killer.
