Description

Unmasking the Thames Torso Murderer: A Victorian Serial Killer - Historian Lucy Worsley reveals James Crick, a bargeman, as the culprit behind the gruesome dismemberments starting in 1887. Despite Cricks river access and history of attacks on women, police dismissed Jessie Millers accusation, allowing the murders to continue. The killings stopped when Crick was imprisoned for threatening Sarah Warburton, highlighting how womens voices were ignored and the predator hid in plain sight.
