Ep. 173 Jack the Ripper Pt. 2: Why History's Most Notorious Serial Killer Continues to Evade Us

I'm back again in part 2 of 3 to uncover more of the story of Jack the Ripper. In this episode, I'll continue the timeline from last week, walking you through new developments in the case. We'll look at dead end clues and false suspects, including 3 letters supposedly written by the killer. I'll also take you through the final moments of the third and fourth Ripper victims - Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes - who were killed less than an hour apart during what came to be called the "double event."
