Jack the Ripper: Investigate Thrilling and Mysterious Murders

Jack the Ripper is certainly one of the most well-known serial killers in history. Yet it is largely believed that he claimed a mere five victims during his so-called ‘reign of terror’ – as such, he is fairly tame by the standards of many modern multiple murderers. He was not even at large for an especially long period of time; many do not realise that his crimes took place over the course of just twelve weeks or so. Despite all of this, however, he certainly is a strong contender for the title of the world’s most famous serial killer. Why is this? What is about Jack the Ripper that endlessly fascinates and compels people down the ages?

The case of Jack the Ripper was officially closed in 1892. Yet it continues to lastingly enthral a whole host of people all over the world. This may be due to the fact that new discoveries about the case are being revealed to this very day. Jack the Ripper evaded detection in the Victorian era, and persists in doing so. Perhaps, however, it is no longer seen as such an absurd notion as it once was considered to be that his identity will be revealed. One of the more intriguing aspects to the case of Jack the Ripper is the sheer amount of worldwide newspaper reporting that his crimes provoked. Journalists swept down on to the streets of the East End to relate the grisly details of the murders, and were often left shocked and horrified by the terrible living conditions that they perceived.

Pages upon pages were given over to reporting on the post-mortems into the deaths of the victims; local inhabitants of the area were cross-examined at length; police officers were pursued, and in some cases even bribed, as reporters attempted to acquire that all too intangible ‘exclusive’ that may aid in selling more newspapers. What is known about Jack the Ripper?

Yet real details as to who he was remain elusive.
