The Thames Torso Killer should, by rights, take precedence over Jack the Ripper as the world's first and most notorious unidentified serial killer. He started to kill in Easter 1887, over a year before the Ripper, and his last murder was in September 1889, almost ten months after the Ripper's last victim, Mary Jane Kelly. The Torso killer murdered and dismembered at least four women, in addition to the unborn child of the only victim who was identified. The author's profile of the killer reveals a detailed description of his trade, location and movements. She searches against that profile to find a known criminal with a similar modus operandi as the killer.
