Because over three months, from August to November, some of the most notorious murders in history took place in the poverty-stricken Whitechapel district. The culprit - the infamous Jack the Ripper. The identity of Jack the Ripper is a rabbit hole like no other, there are countless suspects, none of which fit perfectly. But the general consensus among Ripperologists has clustered around one person - and there may be some DNA evidence to back it up.
