Jack The Ripper

More than a century after the brutal murders of five women in the East end of London, experts are still desperate to identify the iconic shadowy killer in a top hat and cape. The case of Jack the Ripper has inspired countless works of film and literature over the years, but no real evidence has been uncovered to put a face to the mysterious serial killer.

The name Jack the Ripper originated when a series of letters were sent to the police in an effort to taunt them about the Ripper’s whereabouts. Whether they were actually written by the Ripper himself has been the subject of debate for decades. Some even proclaim that it could have been a woman. (Jackie the Ripper doesn’t sound any cozier…).
