Jack the Ripper with Jim McKenna: The Canonical Murders

Jack the Ripper is a notorious historical serial killer. But he's also a figure surrounded by myth. In this episode of The Murder Sheet, we will interview Ripperologist Jim McKenna. He'll get into the social and historical context of the killings, the canonical murders, and the very identities of the so-called "Canonical Five": Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.The Murder Sheet participates in the Amazon Associate program and earns money from qualifying purchases.Purchase JimMcKenna’s book Penny Black here: https://www.amazon.com/Penny-Black-Jim-McKenna/dp/B0C6P2S7SW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZQV63NUE1PYH&keywords=penny+black+jim+mckenna&qid=1701109819&sprefix=penny+black+jim%252Caps%252C128&sr=8-1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=aa1274a8908fb343100677c3b4609216&camp=1789&creative=9325Purchase The Complete Jack the Ripper by Donald Rumbelow here: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Jack-Ripper-Donald-Rumbelow/dp/0753541505?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=427a76dfff92c58789e24b5c897701c1&camp=1789&creative=9325Purchase People of the Abyss by Jack London here: https://www.amazon.com/People-Abyss-original-illustrations/dp/B08TRLB6HV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1DUNJWPCH42IN&keywords=Jack+london+--+people+of+the+abyss&qid=1701106050&s=books&sprefix=jack+london+--+people+of+the+abyss%252Cstripbooks%252C94&sr=1-1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=e9dcb24c9182f8141f10c19c0dbf60f9&camp=1789&creative=9325Here’s a link to Ripperologist magazine: http://www.ripperologist.co.uk/Purchase The Cases That Haunt Us by John Douglas here: https://www.amazon.com/Cases-That-Haunt-Us/dp/0671017063/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1GM8CSR07TKI6&keywords=john+douglas+--+cases+that+haunted&qid=1701106217&sprefix=john+douglas+--+cases+that+haunted%252Caps%252C93&sr=8-1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=62888367a265fda95336e4470e021278&camp=1789&creative=9325Purchase The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold here: https://www.amazon.com/Five-Untold-Lives-Killed-Ripper/dp/1328663817?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=9f88591cd1e9dda022d391b302307890&camp=1789&creative=9325Send tips to [email protected] Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
