Fringes of Society: Episode 323

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?
