Summary
In December 1888, when London’s East End was still haunted by the fear of Jack the Ripper, another woman was found strangled in the street: Rose Mylett. And just like that, the terror returned. This episode takes you deep into the investigation that never reached a conclusion — a tragic death brushed aside by authorities desperate for normality at Christmas. Who killed Rose? And why did the case fade into the fog of history? We’ll also step through the East End’s bleak holiday reality — overcrowded slums, freezing workhouses, and empty tables — and how Charles Dickens played an unlikely part in transforming Christmas into a moment of hope. Perfect for fans of unsolved mysteries, historical true crime, and eerie Victorian storytelling.
