The Jigsaw Murders: How Dr Buck Ruxton Was Caught by a Newspaper and a Fingerprint
In September 1935, around seventy pieces of human remains were found in a ravine near Moffat, cut apart by someone who knew exactly how to make the dead unrecognisable. A local newspaper edition, a child's romper suit and a dead woman's fingerprints led detectives to 2 Dalton Square in Lancaster, and to Dr Buck Ruxton, whose partner Isabella and nursemaid Mary Rogerson had vanished. This is the story of the Jigsaw Murders, the pioneering forensic work that identified the victims, and the confession published after Ruxton was hanged.
