Jack the Ripper: The Case That Was Never Solved

In this episode, Scott Rolle is joined once again by attorney, writer, and self-described conspiracy theorist Joe Racioppi, aka Jersey Joe, to take on the Mount Everest of cold cases. In the autumn of 1888, five women were slaughtered in the fog-soaked streets of Whitechapel, London, with a savagery that paralyzed an entire city and launched the world's most infamous unsolved murder investigation. Scott and Jersey Joe break down the canonical five victims, the taunting letters that gave the killer his name, and the parade of suspects that researchers have been arguing over ever since. From Aaron Kosminski to the Duke of Clarence to a possible Freemason cover-up, they dig into what little evidence survives, and why 137 years later, no one can say with certainty who Jack the Ripper really was.
