Who Was Jack the Ripper? Part 1-Episode #08

Listen Later

In this week’s episode we ask the question: Who Was Jack the Ripper? In 1888, during Victorian-era London, a series of murders known as the Autumn of Terror took place. The gruesome killings sparked national fear. Letters written by a “Jack the Ripper”, who had intimate knowledge of the murders, taunted the police fueling the hysteria. The fact that the culprit was never caught remains one of history’s longest-lasting unsolved mysteries.
