Elizabeth Stride (Elisabeth Gustafsdotter) is believed to be the third victim of the notorious unidentified
serial killer Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated prostitutes in the
Whitechapel area of
London during the late summer and autumn of 1888. She was forty-four at the time of her death, killed on the night of the "Double Event" that saw the murder of
Catherine Eddowes less than an hour later. She was nicknamed "Long Liz"; multiple explanations have been given for this pseudonym. Some believe it was related to her married surname "Stride", while others believe it was because of her height or the shape of her face.
