Now if you remember from our last episode, we began taking a deep dive into one of history’s most infamous serial killers who stalked the streets of London’s Whitechapel district during the 1888 “Autumn of Terror”, Jack the Ripper. Jack the Ripper, who was never captured, killed at least five women known as the "canonical five", mutilating their bodies in an unusual manner, indicating that the killer had a substantial knowledge of human anatomy.
The "canonical five" which includes Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly, were well-known prostitutes in London’s East End district of Whitechapel. All five of their murders took place within a mile of each other, in or near the Whitechapel district and stood out from other violent crimes being marked by sadistic butchery, and a sociopathic and hateful mind.
After murdering his last victim in November of 1888, Jack the Ripper seemed to disappear without a trace. He left few clues behind, and investigators have spent more than a century trying to decipher his true identity. However, Jack the Ripper did — allegedly — send several horrifying and disturbing messages during his murder spree.
