Episode 106 - Jack the Ripper, Part 5: The Final Victim

Author: All That's Interesting February 21, 2024 Duration: 42:13
Like Jack the Ripper himself, little is known about his last victim, Mary Jane Kelly. Her heavily mutilated body was found in a leased room on Dorset Street in East London on November 9, 1888. She had been living in a slum frequently occupied by prostitutes and criminals – and her murder was so gruesome, police actively tried to suppress information about it to prevent any rumors. https://allthatsinteresting.com/mary-jane-kelly credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
