An unknown person prowled the east end of London known as the Whitechapel district slashing and mutilating down and out prostitutes. Beginning in the spring of 1888 until at least 1891 and possibly longer, the total body count can never be agreed on but most likely 11 to 12 murders.
Although murder has been around since the beginning of time, (Cain and Abel) the crimes of Jack The Ripper were so horrible and frenzied that more than 100 years later he is still the best known serial killer in the world.
