21 | Jack The Ripper Part 1: The Whitechapel Murders

Prash's Murder Map: True Crime Podcast

Jump in a hansom cab and come with me to the foggy, lamplit streets of London’s East End as we embark on this 7 part mini-series on the gruesome murders of arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time… Jack the Ripper. Pack your doss money and a penny for the newsboy and let’s get started with two killings that occurred just before the Autumn of Terror. Could Emma Smith and Martha Tabram have been early Ripper victims?
