Cold Serial: The Jack the Strangler Murders

Cold Serial: The Jack the Strangler Murders paints the picture of five girls who were

raped and strangled in the Dayton, Ohio, area between 1900 and 1909. Working conditions, lack of rights for women, inadequate police protection and the sexism of the age portray these girls as victims not only of a crime, but also of their time. As their stories unfold, a common thread appears that links

them together.
