Unmasking the psychology behind London’s most infamous phantom.

In this 5-minute deep dive into criminal history, journalist and true crime storyteller Simon Ford revisits the most famous unsolved murder spree of all time.

Jack the Ripper murdered at least five women—Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—in a frenzy of theatrical brutality that shocked Victorian London. But beyond the myth, the fog, and the fear… who was he? This episode explores:

• The killings and their escalating violence
• Why the identity of Jack the Ripper remains fiercely debated
• Our long-form investigation into prime suspect Robert D’Onston Stephenson
• The behavioural traits that strongly suggest psychopathy.
