Letter with gruesome enclosure,
from Jack the Ripper
1888

During the late summer and fall of 1888, a killer stalked prostitutes in London’s East End. Foggy, murderous nights in Whitechapel led to foggy theories about the murderer’s real identity. London’s Metropolitan Police (also known as Britain’s Scotland Yard) never solved the crimes.
