General Information

She was nicknamed ‘Long Liz’ and is believed to be the third victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer called Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated prostitutes in the Whitechapel.

Additional Information

No money was found on Stride’s body, so it is possible that her night’s takings were stolen from her, either in the attack seen by a witness named Israel Schwartz, or by her murderer. Either way she seems to have gone into the yard with her murderer alive, presumably on the basis that he was a client. Since there had been two other murders involving a cut throat nearby, Stride’s murder was added to the Whitechapel murders investigation, and was widely believed to have been perpetrated by the same killer – Jack the Ripper.
