London’s Forgotten Nightmare: The Chilling Mystery of Jack the Stripper - Part 1

London’s Forgotten Nightmare: The Chilling Mystery of Jack the Stripper - Part 1

Welcome to Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast—the show that dives headfirst into the murkiest depths of unsolved mysteries, where every twist keeps you guessing and every detail sends a shiver down your spine. Today we’re taking you across the pond to the foggy streets of 1960s London, where a shadowy figure known only as Jack the Stripper left an indelible mark of terror.

Yes, you heard that right—Jack the Stripper. The name may sound quirky, but there’s nothing funny about this nightmare. Between 1959 and 1965, this cold-blooded killer prowled the streets of West London, targeting sex workers in a spree of murders that baffled Scotland Yard and terrified the public. Over six years, eight women were found dead—strangled, stripped, and dumped in various locations across the city. The gruesome details? Missing teeth. Paint flecks on the bodies. A killer who vanished without leaving a trace.

Why the nickname? Well, much like his Victorian predecessor, Jack the Ripper, our modern-day villain preyed on vulnerable women under cover of darkness. The press couldn’t resist the parallel, and the name stuck. But while Jack the Ripper’s brutality was marked by mutilation, Jack the Stripper’s signature was disturbingly precise: petite victims, no signs of struggle, and the strange industrial paint clue that led nowhere.

By the time Scotland Yard connected the dots after his third victim, the city was in a frenzy. Was it a gangster with a sinister secret? A disturbed factory worker hiding in plain sight? Or someone even more chilling? Despite an exhaustive investigation, the killer slipped away like a ghost, leaving behind a legacy of fear—and one of London’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

Join us for Part 1 of: Jack the Stripper, where we’ll unravel the tragic stories of the victims, and explore the eerie parallels between London’s two most infamous Jacks.
