Several were attributed to the relatively unpublicised ‘Thames Torso’ series while the majority found their way into the Met’s ‘Whitechapel’ or Jack the Ripper file.BookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/just-reads--6173738/support.Please click 'like' and Subcribe and all the good stuff.
