At the young age of 22, Eve Stratford—a model at the prestigious Playboy Club in London—was tragically found deceased in Leyton, east London on March 18, 1975, unfortunately meeting her end through an act of violence that left her throat severed.

Eve, originally hailing from Dortmund, Germany, later relocated to England with her family, initially settling in Warrington before her move to London's south.

Through a two-part series, the goal is to demystify the confounding cases by providing unparalleled, exclusive insights from those who knew the victims, alongside archival content from the era.

"Marcel's persistent four-year quest to highlight the culpable individual brings him back to that bygone era, includes a hunt for missing police files, delves into new leads, and involves seeking out pivotal individuals with ties to the case as he chases truths that have been obscured for far too long."

Marcel himself shared: “The story has haunted me over the years. How does a serial killer escape detection after committing horrendous crimes in 1970s London? What mistakes were made in the investigation?

"Marcel is not just seeking facts, but also aiming to commemorate the lives of these women, lives that were so tragically cut short.”
