In the autumn of 1888, London’s East End was gripped by fear. Amid poverty, overcrowding, and social unrest, an unknown killer began stalking the dark alleys of Whitechapel — targeting women and leaving behind scenes of shocking brutality.

Over two nights, we dive deep into the world that gave rise to one of history’s most infamous unsolved crimes. In part one, we explore the atmosphere of Victorian London, the grim reality of Whitechapel life, and the timeline of the murders that came to define the “Autumn of Terror.” In part two, we move through the investigation, suspects, and theories that have haunted true crime for more than a century.

More than 130 years later, the mystery of Jack the Ripper still endures — part legend, part truth, and entirely terrifying.
