London, England
The infamous Jack the Ripper’s hunting grounds were
in the impoverished Whitechapel district of London in 1888. Jack was accredited
with 5 vicious and grotesque murders.
To this day, Jack the Ripper’s identity is unknown,
though there are numerous suspects.
To name a handful:
Aaron Kosminski – a Whitechapel barber
Walter Sickert – an artist
John Pizer - bootmaker
Prince Albert Victor – eldest child of the Prince
and Princess of Wales
Lewis Carroll – an author
There are various theories about the identity and
profession of Jack, as authorities are not able to agree and at one time the
number of named suspects reached over 100.
This serial killer case was the first to create a
worldwide media frenzy with interest in the killings lasting to present day.
Many books, movies, Ripper walking tours and theories
have come out of this case. Will we ever have definitive evidence as to Jack
the Ripper’s true identity?
