Reply to comment by cannotfoolowls in Completely hooked by the writing style and research into "the Five" by Hallie Rubenhold. "There are two version of the events of 1887. One is very well known, the other is not." The five are the victims of Jack the Ripper and had always been labelled prostitutes, but they were not. by LJRGUserName

Only the last one was found in her bed. The others were found outside. Only one was actively working as a prostitute (the last one who was killed in doors). One had worked as a prostitute about 20 years before her murder but not since and the other three had no record or evidence that they were ever prostitutes. At least according to the book.
