"Dark Annie" - Victim of Jack the Ripper

Annie Chapman, also known as "Dark Annie," was born in September of 1841. Her name, at that time, was Eliza Anne Smith.

In 1888, she was 45-years-old, stood five feet tall, had pallid complexion, blue eyes, dark brown (and wavy) hair and a thick nose. People who knew her, in the late summer of 1888, also reported that she was under-nourished and suffered from a chronic disease of her lungs (tuberculosis).

She was last seen alive about 5:30 on the morning of September 8, 1888. About an hour later, a doctor was examining her mutilated body. It had been found just a few-hundred yards from her lodging house.

She was a victim of Jack the Ripper.
