Between 1964 and 1965, the bodies of six young women were found in or near the River Thames. Local people and news reporters dubbed the killer Jack the Stripper because of the similarities to the original Jack the Ripper case from 1888. It’s suggested that there were two earlier murders between 1959 and 1963 which may have been committed by the same perpetrator but, like the mysterious Jack the Ripper of old, this illusive killer was never caught.
