A surprisingly little known serial killer operated on the streets of London during the 1960s, a killer responsible for slaying up to eight women in a case striking parallels with London’s infamous Jack the Ripper. Now, author Robin Jarossi lifts the lid on this historical case, with access to case files and interviews with the world’s leading geographic profiler, The Hunt for the 60s’ Ripper tells the entire story.

Across 1964 and 1965 the nude bodies of women were found around the Hammersmith area of London, near or in the River Thames. All had been brutally murdered, most strangled until they could no longer breathe with many missing a number of teeth. In a case which over the years has been referred to as the 60s’ Ripper, the Nude Murders and the Hammersmith Murders, it is one which remains unsolved with a great deal of mystery surrounding the individual who was behind these kills, his motives and the reason why he suddenly stopping killing in 1965 after almost one year of murders.

I remember reading about this from John Du Rose's book. one similarity between Jack and this one was that all of them had worked as prostitutes. A suspect was named, Mungo Ireland, who gassed himself with exhaust fumes in his garage but there was never any real proof he was the ripper.
