O Jack the Ripper! Jack's work was something horrendous but I can't help but indulge his story again and again.

is there anything more after the fucking shitty derail around page 6? whatever, the ripper is one of the most boring and overrated cases imo. It's more likely there were several killers involved but it was more beneficial to both the ruling class and the media of the time to sensationalize the murders. Nothing facilitates social repression of the lower and working classes better than fear being spread via mass media *slyly looks in the direction of every American cable news channel/newspaper/media outlet ever*

I love reading about killers that were never caught. Like the Zodiac killer or the Black Dahlia killer.

Agreed, unsolved cases are fascinating in large part, I believe, to all the theories that surrounding them. The best unsolved case relating to serial killers is the Cleveland Torso Murders, because of the brutality, the possibility of a female being the killer (castration), and the undoing of Eliot Ness. The torso murders and the elizabeth short case both share a suspect as well.

I was watching a show about JTR and they think he came to the U.S. because there was a a couple of prostitutes killed the same way.. They had a picture of the guy who they thought was him
