This is Crime House.

In London in 1888, a series of mutilation murders would torment the public.

Five women across Whitechapel would be found brutally dismembered.

The killer was precise, cruel to the point

of inhumanity, and ultimately never caught. And while we don't have a first and last name for him,

we do have a moniker that is still as much of a household name today as it was more than

130 years ago, Jack the Ripper.

We've talked about modern cases with multiple victims,

but there's something about these murders that has really shaped serial killer lore.

Plus, there's the fact that Jack the Ripper still remains a mystery, or do they?

Numerous people have dedicated their entire lives to unmasking Jack, and we may be closer to solving these cases than we think.

Hi guys, welcome back to Clues, where we sneak past the crime scene tape to explore the key evidence behind some of the most gripping true crime cases.

I'm Kailen Moore, and I'm going to be digging into the timelines, the backstories, and the case files on these cases.

And I'm your internet sleuth, Morgan Absher. I'm the one who's diving into the Reddit forums to talk about everything I can find online and pulling out the threads that just don't add up.

And at Crime House, we value your support.

So please share your thoughts on social media.

More on the case and the clues that defined it right after this quick break.

Okay, we are kicking off spooky season with this one, and it is a big one.

I will warn you guys, I didn't know a lot about this case until prepping and doing the research.

Of course, we hear about Jack the Ripper all the time and like pop culture media references. But wow, this case gets a little gory. So if you're looking for more traditional spooky, maybe wait a couple weeks until we get into Salem. Yeah, we're going to be covering the witch trials, which will also be very spooky and historical and informative.
