Madame Tussaud's Shocking Links To The Hampstead Murders

In 1890, Mary Eleanor Pearcey murdered the wife and child of her lover Frank Hogg, transporting the bodies at night to two locations in Hampstead. Pearcey became a cult figure in London's underworld, and was later hypothesised to be Jack The Ripper, causing waxwork artist Marie Tussaud to pay over the odds for Pearcey's clothing in order to craft another waxwork killer for her chamber of horrors.
