Jack The Ripper

Jack The Ripper

Identity Unknown

Kill total 5

Kill Dates 1888

The father (?!) of modern serial killing, and the one who got away with it.

Jack terrorised the streets of London in the late nineteenth century and brutally murdered five helpless women. To date no one knows who Jack the Ripper was. Like the minions that followed his example, Jack enjoyed taunting the police and would send letters to the press boasting of his deeds. He practiced cannibalism and tore apart the internal organs of four of his victims. Once he mailed to a newspaper a piece of the kidney from one of the victims when authorities doubted the authenticity of his correspondence.
