Jack the Stripper

Jack the Stripper was the name given to an apparent serial killer who operated in London between 1964 and 1965. Much like his (close) namesake, he attacked prostitutes and then, unlike the Ripper, stripped them and dumped them in the River Thames. 57-year-old Kenneth Archibald confessed to the murders of the first two victims but, upon questioning, was unable to remember certain important facts about the nature of their demise. After another body was found that matched the Stripper’s modus operandi, Archibald’s claims were dismissed.

After the Stripper’s body count had reached 6 women, the officer in charge of the investigation announced that the Metropolitan Police had narrowed their suspects down to 3 key figures.

And, just like that, Jack the Stripper’s spree ended.
