A Whitechapel Mystery: Jack The Ripper

Serial killer terrorized London's East End in 1888. Five canonical victims, hundreds of suspects, zero convictions.

Metropolitan Police investigation into the Whitechapel murders of 1888 identified multiple suspects but secured no convictions. Case files indicate the perpetrator possessed anatomical knowledge and used sharp instruments with precision. Investigation hampered by limited forensic capabilities of the era. Despite extensive inquiries involving hundreds of suspects and witnesses, the murders remain unsolved. Case officially remains open pending new evidence.
