London, 1888. The streets of Whitechapel were gripped by fear, each brutal killing a stark reminder of a predator who remained just out of reach. The horror left behind was matched only by the mounting questions. Who was responsible? What drove them to commit such heinous acts? And how did they escape justice?

In this third chapter of our journey, we turn our attention to the suspects. From troubled individuals living on society’s fringes to powerful figures immune to scrutiny, theories abound. For over a century, investigators, historians, and enthusiasts have tried to piece together a picture of the person—or persons—behind the infamous murders.

Join us as we examine the evidence, unpack the rumors, and consider the stories of those accused. Was the Ripper someone hiding in plain sight, or does the truth lie in the overlooked and unexpected? The answers may be elusive, but the search for them continues to captivate the world.
