This episode of Rippercast is part one of a two part discussion focusing on East End murders popularly excluded from the official tally of Ripper victims- The 'Non-Canonicals'. Among some of the topics in this first part: we speculate on what Jack the Ripper's early crimes and attacks might have been, what type of weapons were used in the early non-C5 assaults, and whether any of these reported attacks and murders prior to the death of Mary Ann Nichols could be attributed to the 'Jack the Ripper'. With AP Wolf, John Bennett, Gareth Williams and Ally Ryder.
