Carrie Brown : Murder In The East River Hotel

I think only the Helen Jewett murder rates a comparison, if you're just talking about the crime itself. The other examples are domestic crimes and, although they feature axe jobs and the severing of bodies, it's not really comparable, unless you believe in Primacy of M.O.

They do that in Ripperology - mixing in everything and/or classifying just based on mutilation and body severing and weapon used regardless of victimology. To me, it's a smokescreen or periferology. I wouldn't even rate post-mortem mutilation in the same classification as torture mutilation.
