Mrs. Farraday and the 'Whiehall Mystery. '

I was just wondering if the author who wrote "MARY REILY" had the "Whitehall Mystery" in mind when Mrs. Farraday was killed. For those of you who don't know, the "Whitehall Mystery" concerned the finding of a woman's corpse in 1888, which was both headless and limbless. The body was never identified.

Since Mrs. Farraday's head was cut off (and presumeably her organs were used for Hyde's formula) I think that her corpse could asociatedwith this mystery. If I am correct the body was found durring the same year the Mary Reilly version of "Hyde" took place.

What do you think?
