Episode 153: Jack the Ripper - The Whitechapel Murders

Send a textIn the summer of 1888, the streets of London were a bleak affair. The working class were desperate, thunderstorms ravaged the streets and in the early morning hours, a devil was terrorizing the sex workers of Whitechapel. Arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time, Jack the Ripper would claim the lives of five women, mangling their bodies in the streets and then seemingly disappearing into the night. In part one of this two part series, we’ll dig into the histories of the poor women whose lives he stole, and question whether there were more victims than the official five. We’ll follow his footsteps through London’s dark streets and learn about the only key piece of evidence left behind. We’ll end with the biggest mystery of all - who was Jack? You’ll have to tune in next week to find out. Happy haunting! Support the showGet in touch!
