Summary
Nearly lost to history were 76 similar unsolved murders and brutal assaults of women in the US during the late 19th century; heinous crimes that were committed along the railways. Shockingly, Jack the Ripper suspect Dr. Francis Tumblety cannot be eliminated as having committed each of these crimes. Even more shocking, Dr. Tumblety can corroborate his time in WhiteChapel with the time of the Jack the Ripper murders, and they mysteriously stopped when he went to America!
So, why did Scotland Yard spend time and resources to track Dr. Tumblety to America and keep an eye on him? Why was he considered a serious Jack The Ripper suspect, yet no action was taken? Better yet, why in only recent years, has Dr. Tumblety even been considered a strong suspect in the Jack The Ripper Murders? Author/Researcher Michael L. Hawley joins TCT to answer all these questions and build the case that Tumblety is the Ripper!

| 0:30.3 | We haven't done that in quite a while. |
| 0:31.6 | You know, Jack the Ripper may seem like the most discussed topic on most true crime shows |
| 0:36.6 | and it's true of this one as well. |

| 1:31.6 | both in England and in the United States, did he travel between the two? |
