Elizabeth "Long Liz" Stride (27 November 1843 – 30 September 1888) born Elizabeth Gustafsdotter was a prostitute living in London during the 19th century, famous for being the third victim of the serial killer Jack the Ripper during the Whitechapel murders.
Biography
Born in the parish of Torslanda, west of Gothenburg, Sweden, Elizabeth turned to prostitution early on. By March 1865, Stride was registered by the Gothenburg police as a prostitute and was diagnosed twice for a sexually transmitted disease. Elizabeth also gave birth to a stillborn girl on 21 April 1865.[1]
Sometime in her life, she moved to London to work for Lady Olwyn Owers' brothel. Here she usually appeared drunk at the Thames Magistrates Court.[1]
The supposed body of Elizabeth was found early in the morning of 30 September, in Dutfield's Yard in Whitechapel just an hour before the Ripper's fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes, was discovered.[2]
However, an investigation by Master Assassin Evie Frye suggested that the real Eddowes and Stride may have in fact survived, and that her brother Jacob—in an attempt to end Jack's reign of terror—had sent two of his Assassin initiates to take the intended victims place, due to the evidence of an Assassin ring found at Eddowes' crime scene.[2]
