One of the world’s most prolific killers was never caught and held a city in terror.  Jack the Ripper is the fictitious name given to a notorious unknown murderer who is accused of killing at least five women, all prostitutes, over a 2-3-month period. 

The bodies of the women were mutilated in such a way that Scotland Yard felt the killer had to be someone with substantial knowledge of the human anatomy.  The killer even went as far to toy with police.  

The culprit was never captured—or even identified—and Jack the Ripper remains one of England’s, and the world’s, most infamous criminals.
