All I know is that she is repeatedly saying she has evidence that they weren't all prostitutes. Unfortunately, they were or had been prostitutes, as going to a quiet place with their murderer presumably shows, so I can only suppose that Hallie is re-defining 'prostitute', perhaps arguing that two of the victims were only casual prostitutes, willing to have sex for money only when times were tough.
Hallie is giving at least two talks on the subject, one in April (a history masterclass where the cost per ticket is about £80) and the other later in the year at Hanbury Hall in Hanbury Street where the cost per ticket is £25. I don't have further details to hand. Somebody who is rich might go in April and let us know what Hallie says. Otherwise, book a seat at the event later in the year.

Originally posted by Paul Williams View PostIt's a long time to wait but will be interesting to see what evidence supports the claim that only two of the five were prostitutes.
I believe Hallie is a member of the Forums, so perhaps we'll have the opportunity to discuss her findings with her at some point.

Originally posted by Gary Barnett View PostI'm curious about the reference to Queen Victoria's wedding. That was in 1840, I wonder what relevance it has to any of the C5.
The family were also living at Knightsbridge when some of Annie's siblings were baptised. Annie's own daughters were also baptised in that same church at Ennismore Gardens Knightsbridge.
