27 | Jack The Ripper Part 7 : The Suspects

Prash's Murder Map: True Crime Podcast

We’ve made it to the end of a gruelling, terrifying, emotional journey through London’s East End in the Autumn of Terror of 1888. Thank you so much for joining me as we explored each of the Jack the Ripper murders and the historical context of the time. Now, we conclude by reviewing some of the key suspects in this mini-series wrap-up. Can we ever uncover who the perplexing, outrageous, shadowy figure really was – that killer whose nickname everyone knows, but whose real identity remains a mystery?
