Episode 108 - Jack The Ripper, Episode 6: Who Was The Whitechapel Murderer?

So who was Jack the Ripper? More than a century later, the killer's identity continues to elude investigators. Some theories are outlandish — like that writer Lewis Carroll or even British royal Prince Albert Victor were behind the heinous crimes. Some theories appear to be supported by DNA — as in the case of Polish barber Aaron Kosminski. Then again, theories like these also assume that Jack the Ripper was a man — and not a murderous local woman. Here are some of the most likely — and most interesting — Jack Ripper suspects that have emerged since his reign of terror in 1888. We'll discuss who these suspects are and why investigators believe they could have been the notorious killer. https://allthatsinteresting.com/jack-the-ripper-suspects credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
