    The Atlanta Ripper

    The Atlanta Ripper

    It's 1911 and there's a bone-chilling presence walking the streets of Atlanta. Just as stealthily as he emerges from the night's shadowy curtains, he slips back behind them without a trace. From Bolton to Mechanicsville to Kirkwood, victims dot the city and there's no telling where the Atlanta Ripper will make his next debut—or with who.

    The Jack the Ripper Murders

    The Jack the Ripper Murders

    Join Kelli as she explores the history of late 19th century's East End of London, where Jack the Ripper made his infamous, and gruesome, killings of five women before disappearing into the darkness in the fall of 1888.

    Though he was never found, his murders give us a chance to explore the lives of women, the poor, and the working classes in the gritty, industrial life of England's biggest city.

    This episode is the second of a two-episode look into two late 19th-century murderers - Holmes and Jack the Ripper - and how they became integral parts of our histories as infamous killers.

    HILF 31 - Jack the Ripper with Peter Vogt

    HILF 31 - Jack the Ripper with Peter Vogt

    Dawn and guest, Peter Vogt, have a bloody good time revisiting the mysterious series of unsolved murders in Whitechapel, 1888. They cover the "canonical five" victims attributed to the unknown killer known as 'Jack the Ripper' - as well as the many theories from both then and now.  [Episode transcript]

    • 00:00:00 - An introduction of Peter and the general history surrounding Whitechapel, a poor slum where many were regularly resorting to desperate measures to survive. We discuss the five murders attributed to Jack, and his letters taunting the police, and the problem with sussing out the "truths" of the case.
    • 00:47:00 - Break - HILF is now part of THE DEN, The Deluxe Edition Network. Check out another podcast in The Den: World's True Crime Podcast. 
    • 00:48:36 - Part 2 is a journey through a few of the hundreds of suspects that have emerged in the case over the past 135 years. Hear about who are the most likely, the most bizarre - and which ones are our personal favorites.

    1. The Complete History of Jack the Ripper by Philip Sugden

    Documentaries:

    1. The Enduring Mystery of Jack the Ripper (LEMMiNO. Published, 2021) It has a dynamic VO and some great overhead map graphics that give a comparatively emotion-less and conspiracy-less version of events. Nothing graphic of the murders - a play-by-play. Entertains 4 suspects: Charles Cross, Joseph Barnett, Aaron Kosinski and Francis Tumblety.
    2. UNMASKING JACK the RIPPER (electrictheaterco. Published, 2020 ) This one has some great period photography and less-cringy re-enactments. They interview several experts and discuss some of the favored suspects - including Kosinski. They interview one of his elderly surviving descendants.
    3. The Missing Evidence: Jack the Ripper (Smithsonian Channel. Published 2018) What really compelled me about this one is that it purports just one suspect and certainly makes a convincing case by the end. In fact, since watching this one and then encountering the story repeated times since - I wonder how no one else sees it… Charles Cross. The investigator is Swedish Journalist Christer Holmgren.

    This comprehensive site is for the die-hard Ripperologists... you know who you are.

    #5.18: Dr. Thomas Neill Cream (Medical Serial Killer)

    For the LAST episode of Season 5, Syd & Jess will tell you the story of the late 19th century Medical Serial Killer (MSK), Dr. Thomas Neill Cream. Also known as the "Lambeth Poisoner", Dr. Cream's last words before he was put to death by hanging was "I am Jack...." which some believe was his attempt to claim credit for the infamous crimes of Jack the Ripper. Whether that's true or he's just a mustachioed drama queen, this story is still a wild ride.

Holmes and hear his compelling evidence linking the two murderers together.

    Physician Serial Killer - Dr. Thomas Neill Cream (aka The Lambeth Poisoner)

    Physician Serial Killer - Dr. Thomas Neill Cream (aka The Lambeth Poisoner)

    What was missing from this point in this podcast was a good true crime episode.  So here you go!  This is the story of Dr. Thomas Neill Cream, a physician and serial killer that, despite his best efforts to NOT hide his crimes all that well, took way to long to be caught.  There is also speculation he may have been Jack the Ripper.  This is a dark and twisted tale that shows the Hippocratic oath is a suggestion, not a rule, for evil unscrupulous physicians.

    H.H. is for Homicide! The H.H. Holmes Hotel

    H.H. Holmes (real name Herman Webster Mudgett) was an American con artist, bigamist, and serial murderer.  His gruesome deeds made him famous, and the newspapers expanded that fame. People know the story of his murder castle, where gruesome tortures, dissections, and murders supposedly took place. But when you look at the story as a whole, what is actually true, and what is the result of yellow journalism? Join us as we add another entry into this, our Macabrepedia.
