Whitehall Mystery
The Whitehall Mystery is an unsolved murder that took place in London in 1888. The dismembered remains of a woman were discovered at three different sites in the centre of the city, including the future site of Scotland Yard, the police's headquarters.
==Discovery of remains==
On 2 October 1888, during construction of the Metropolitan Police's new headquarters, to be known as Scotland Yard, on the Victoria Embankment near Whitehall in Westminster, a worker found a parcel containing human remains. The female torso was discovered in a three-month-old vault that made up part of the cellar. It was placed there at some point after 29 September when Richard Lawrence, a workman, had last been inside the unlocked vault.〔''The Murder at Westminster'', 23 October 1888, ''The Times''〕 The body had been wrapped in cloth, possibly a black petticoat,〔Cullen, Tom (1965) ''Autumn of Terror'', London: The Bodley Head, p. 95〕 and tied with string.
The torso was matched by police surgeon Thomas Bond to a right arm and shoulder that had previously been discovered in the muddy shore of the River Thames in Pimlico on 11 September.〔 ''The Times'' newspaper had initially suspected that the arm was placed in the water as a medical students' prank.〔
