The Jack the Ripper Murders

Join Kelli as she explores the history of late 19th century's East End of London, where Jack the Ripper made his infamous, and gruesome, killings of five women before disappearing into the darkness in the fall of 1888.

Though he was never found, his murders give us a chance to explore the lives of women, the poor, and the working classes in the gritty, industrial life of England's biggest city.

This episode is the second of a two-episode look into two late 19th-century murderers - Holmes and Jack the Ripper - and how they became integral parts of our histories as infamous killers.
