The Hammersmith nude murders is the name of a series of six murders in West London, England, in 1964 and 1965.[1] The victims, all prostitutes, were found undressed in or near the River Thames, leading the press to nickname the killer Jack the Stripper (a reference to Jack the Ripper).[2][3] Two earlier murders, committed in West London in 1959 and 1963, have also been linked by some investigators to the same perpetrator.[3][4][5]
Despite "intense media interest and one of the biggest manhunts in Scotland Yard's history" the case is unsolved.[3][6] Forensic evidence gathered at the time is believed to have been destroyed or lost.[7]
