Jack the Ripper

Jack The Ripper - Jack the Ripper is an alias given to an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area districts of London, England in the late 19th century.

Beginning in early 1888, several violent attacks and brutal murders, mainly perpetrated against prostitutes, occurred in rapid succession in and around the Whitechapel area. A number of the murders entailed extremely gruesome acts, such as mutilation and evisceration, which were widely reported in the media. Rumors that the murders were connected intensified in September and October, when a series of extremely disturbing letters were received by various media outlets and Scotland Yard, purporting to take responsibility for some or all of the murders. One letter, received by George Lusk of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, included a preserved human kidney.

Due in large part to these letters, and to media treatment of the events, the public increasingly came to believe in a single serial killer and rapist terrorizing the residents of Whitechapel, nicknamed "Jack the Ripper" after the signature on a postcard received by the Central News Agency. An investigation into this possibility was launched in late 1888, but no conclusive evidence was ever discovered to tie any of the murders to a specific perpetrator.

Although the majority of the murders, and those most often attributed to "Jack the Ripper", all occurred in the latter half of 1888, the series of brutal killings and mutilations in Whitechapel persisted at least until 1891. Although the investigation was unable to conclusively connect the later killings to the murders of 1888, the legend of Jack the Ripper was solidified.
