Fringes of Society: Episode 323

Always True Crime
About this episode
Whitechapel, East London. Famous among many True Crime fans for the Jack the Ripper Murders where women on the very fringes of society were incredibly vulnerable to a murderer like Jack.

In our modern-day story today, two women at the very edge of modern society - one selling sex, one selling counterfeit DVDs -  go missing from the streets of Whitechapel within weeks of each other. Are the disappearances connected?
