Seven deaths. No trial. A city's certainty hardened before the evidence could be tested.

In December 1811, two households near Ratcliffe Highway were attacked twelve days apart. Timothy and Celia Marr, their infant son, James Gowan, John and Mrs Williamson, and Bridget Harrington were killed. Margaret Jewell, John Turner, and Kitty Stillwell survived through timing, action, and circumstance. The crimes terrified London and produced a demand for an answer that the fragmented investigative system of the period was not prepared to supply.
