What a fascinating history and I am so thankful for the courage of Sarah Warburton to testify to what she experienced on that “safe” boat journey. It does make me wonder though about the woman who told Sarah she would be perfectly safe riding with this man. Had she safely ridden with him in his boat or was she the “front person” luring women to him? A new mystery, perhaps?
Thanks Lucy, as I said earlier, I really enjoyed your 'Team Investigation' style. Even more enjoyed the fact that 2 authors - convinced they'd identified the killer: one linking to Jack The Rpr & the other 2 the Poisoner - were well blown out of the water by Forensic & Crime Psychology work.
Will definitely follow up Sarah's book and look forward to the Chaplin one: seen it favourably reviewed elsewhere. PS loved your BBC History article too.
All hats off to Sarah Bax Horton! It must be interesting for you Lucy, to be able to study the history of how policing was done back in Victorian times and compare it with today, with modern technology.
I enjoyed the series, and thought Sarah built a convincing case on the whole but did think there was a bit of a leap to connect unknown sheep stealers and butchers to James Crick, which supposedly gave him the skills to dismember the bodies.
Wonderful insights! Will this be a book ? I was reminded of something I saw on social media last night. Someone named ? Russell? wrote a book UNMASKING JACK THE RIPPER and there was a photo of him with a descendant of one of the murder victims.

I thought the same!

When is the new series on please?
Ooops, I mean Hard Streets.
Looking forward to your Charlie Chaplin chat with the author of Mean Streets.
