Bis heute gilt Aaron Kosminski als einer der bekanntesten Verdächtigen im Fall „Jack the Ripper“. Dabei wissen wir erstaunlich wenig über ihn.... Bis heute gilt Aaron Kosminski als einer der bekanntesten Verdächtigen im Fall „Jack the Ripper“. Dabei wissen wir erstaunlich wenig über ihn. Erst Jahre später benannten Sir Robert Anderson, Assistant Commissioner und Leiter der Kriminalpolizei von Scotland Yard, und Chief Inspector Donald Swanson rückblickend einen Mann namens „Kosminski“ als den Täter der Whitechapel-Morde. Beide erklärten, die Polizei habe den Mörder identifiziert – doch ihre Aussagen sind widersprüchlich. Was wusste die Polizei wirklich? Gab es tatsächlich eine eindeutige Identifizierung? Und wenn ja, warum kam es nie zu einer Anklage? In dieser Folge betrachten wir, ob die Metropolitan Police mit Aaron Kosminski, einem psychisch erkrankten Einwanderer, über den kaum gesicherte Fakten existieren, tatsächlich Jack the Ripper identifiziert hat und wie er überhaupt in den Verdacht geriet. **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

Heute jährt sich eine der berüchtigtsten Nächte der Whitechapel-Morde: das „Double Event“. Am frühen Morgen des 30. September 1888 wurden Elizabeth Stride und Catherine Eddowes innerhalb einer Stunde ermordet. Beide Tatorte lagen keine 1.000 Meter voneinander entfernt. Doch war wirklich der gleiche Täter am Werk? Es gibt begründete Zweifel … Zusätzlich heizte ein weiteres Bekennerschreiben die Panik an, in einer Handschrift dem „Dear Boss“-Brief sehr ähnlich prahlte der Absender in der sogenannten „Saucy Jacky“-Postkarte damit, beide Frauen in einer Nacht getötet zu haben. Ob echt oder Fälschung – im East End breitete sich eine unbeschreibliche Angst aus. Frauen wagten sich kaum mehr allein auf die Straße, Männer wurden misstrauisch beäugt, und die Polizei stand unter massivem Druck. Niemand konnte sicher sein, wo „Jack the Ripper“ als Nächstes zuschlagen würde. In unserer neuen Folge nehmen wir euch mit durch die düstere Nacht des 30. September 1888: Wer waren die Opfer? Gibt es Hinweise auf den Täter? Welchen Einfluss verübten die neuen Morde auf die Menschen im East End? **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

Nur acht Tage nach dem Mord an Mary Ann Nichols wird Annie Chapman brutal ermordet – die Parallelen sind erschreckend.

Nur acht Tage nach dem Mord an Mary Ann Nichols wird Annie Chapman brutal ermordet – die Parallelen sind erschreckend. In dieser Folge erfahrt ihr von Annies tragischem Leben: von persönlichen Verlusten, Krankheit, Armut und jener Nacht, in der sie ihrem phantomhaften Mörder begegnete, der mit „Leather Apron“ erstmals einen Namen erhält. Eine Figur aus Realität, Gerücht und antisemitischer Hetze, die die Armenviertel in Angst versetzte. Doch nur kurz, denn schließlich traf ein Bekennerbrief bei der Polizei ein, der mit einem Namen unterzeichnet war, den die Welt bis heute kennt: Jack the Ripper! **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

Ist der Fall "Jack the Ripper" gelöst? Seit über zehn Jahren tauchen immer wieder Schlagzeilen auf, die behaupten, dass ein DNA-Fund die Identität des berühmtesten Serienmörders der Geschichte endgültig enthüllt. Im Zentrum dieser Feststellungen steht Russell Edwards. Er ist überzeugt, Jack the Ripper mit Hilfe eines Schals, der Catherine Eddowes gehört haben soll, identifiziert zu haben. Doch woher stammt der Schal? Und wie belastbar sind die Beweise, die Edwards hat? In dieser Folge nehmen wir einen der bekanntesten Lösungsversuche der letzten Jahre kritisch unter die Lupe. Wir sprechen über Herkunft, Methodik und die Grenzen forensischer Aussagen – und darüber, warum Skepsis notwendig ist, wenn ein jahrhundertealtes Verbrechen plötzlich als „aufgeklärt“ gilt. **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

Heute Morgen vor 137 Jahren verlor Mary Ann „Polly“ Nichols in der dunklen Buck’s Row in Whitechapel ihr Leben – ein Opfer, das bis heute Jack the Ripper zugeschrieben wird. Doch Polly war mehr als nur das Opfer eines unbekannten Mörders oder ein Name in den Geschichtsbüchern.... Heute Morgen vor 137 Jahren verlor Mary Ann „Polly“ Nichols in der dunklen Buck’s Row in Whitechapel ihr Leben – ein Opfer, das bis heute Jack the Ripper zugeschrieben wird. Doch Polly war mehr als nur das Opfer eines unbekannten Mörders oder ein Name in den Geschichtsbüchern. Sie war eine Tochter, Mutter und Freundin, die schwere Zeiten durchstehen musste: Jahre in Arbeitshäusern, zerbrochene Beziehungen und den Kampf gegen ihre Alkoholsucht. Am Abend des 30. August 1888 wurde sie zuletzt gesehen, erschöpft, aber zuversichtlich, bald die vier Pence für ein Bett zusammenzubekommen. Nur wenige Stunden später wurde sie grausam aus dem Leben gerissen. An ihrem Todestag erinnern wir uns an die Frau hinter der tragischen Schlagzeile, an ihr kurzes, von Härte und Entbehrung gezeichnetes Leben und an die Ungerechtigkeit, dass ihr Mörder nie gefunden wurde.

London, 9. November 1888.... London, 9. November 1888. In einem kleinen Zimmer im Miller’s Court wird die junge Mary Jane Kelly tot aufgefunden.Mit dieser Tat erreichte die Whitechapel-Mordserie einen neuen Höhepunkt der Grausamkeit. Doch wer war Mary Jane Kelly wirklich? Eine Überlebenskünstlerin und Träumerin – und vielleicht die geheimnisvollste der Frauen, die im Herbst 1888 ihr Leben verloren haben. Während der öffentliche Druck auf die Polizei weiter wächst, gelingt es den Ermittlern einfach nicht, dem Täter auf die Spur zu kommen. Stattdessen versinkt das East End in Angst und Misstrauen. Die Bürger übernehmen selbst die nächtlichen Patrouillen, während die Presse den Täter zum Gespenst macht, das mordend durch die Straßen zieht. In unserer neuen Folge betrachten wir unter anderem: – das rätselhafte Leben der Mary Jane Kelly, – die Bedeutung der „Saucy Jack“-Postkarte und des „From Hell“-Briefs sowie – die Einrichtung der Whitechapel-Bürgerwehr und ihres Vorsitzenden George Lusk. **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

Wir machen weiter. Und was könnte für den Neustart passender sein, als die eigene Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Thema zu hinterfragen?... Wir machen weiter. Und was könnte für den Neustart passender sein, als die eigene Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Thema zu hinterfragen? Jack the Ripper ist längst zu einem kulturellen Phänomen geworden. Aus dem ursprünglichen Interesse Einzelner an den Morden von 1888 entstand eine ganze Bewegung: die Ripperologie. Doch was genau ist das? Ist es wissenschaftliche Arbeit oder das Nachjagen von Spuren, das mehr Vermutungen als Erkenntnisse schafft? Historisches Interesse oder Faszination, die den Täter in den Mittelpunkt stellt? In dieser Folge blicken wir kritisch auf eine Bewegung, deren Grenzen oft unscharf sind und deren moralischen Fragen selten gestellt werden. **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

In dieser Folge gehen wir der Figur „Jack the Ripper” auf den Grund. Warum ist ein unbekannter Mörder auch heute noch im kollektiven Gedächtnis verankert? Ausgehend von den gesellschaftlichen und medialen Umständen im London des Jahres 1888 zeigen wir, wie aus einer brutalen Mordserie ein Mythos entstand und wie Presse, Theater, Kunst und Popkultur ihn am Leben hielten. Wir zeigen, wie der sogenannte New Journalism aus einzelnen, unzusammenhängenden Verbrechen eine fortlaufende Erzählung formte und wie Zeitungen, Karikaturen und Boulevardblätter eine Figur schufen, die bald mehr Fiktion als Realität war. Wir zeichnen nach, wie sich das Bild des „Gentleman-Killers“ entwickelte – ein Bild, das sich bis heute gehalten hat. **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

In der Auftaktfolge erkunden wir die dunklen Gassen des viktorianischen Londons – lange bevor Jack the Ripper zuschlägt. Wir zeichnen ein detailliertes Bild der sozialen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse im East End, dem Schauplatz der berüchtigten Mordserie. Dabei schauen wir uns an: - Wie London zum Zentrum eines weltumspannenden Empire wurde - Warum das East End trotz industriellen Fortschritts im Elend versank - Welche Rolle jüdische Einwanderer und wachsender Antisemitismus spielten - Wie Armut, Wohnungsnot und Ausbeutung den Alltag bestimmten - Warum Logierhäuser, Arbeitshäuser und Obdachlosigkeit zur Norm wurden - Wie Gewalt, Prostitution und gesellschaftliche Ängste das Klima prägten Diese Folge legt die historische und gesellschaftliche Grundlage für die kommenden Episoden: Warum war das East End 1888 so empfänglich für Angst, Hass und letztlich für die Mythosbildung eines unbekannten Serienmörders?

In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Philipp Röttgers und Dorothee Schröder über die Whitechapel-Mordserie, aktuelle Ripper-Forschung und den Blick der deutschen Sachbuchszene auf einen der bekanntesten Kriminalfälle der Geschichte. Die beiden stehen hinter dem Projekt „London Beyond Time and Place“ und sind eng mit der britischen Forschungsszene vernetzt. Philipp hielt unter anderem einen Vortrag auf der East End Conference. Gemeinsam veröffentlichten sie das Sachbuch „Jack the Ripper – Die Whitechapel-Morde 1888 – Eine Chronologie“ – eine strukturierte und quellenbasierte Einordnung der Ereignisse. Wir sprechen unter anderem über: – ihre virtuelle Tour durch Whitechapel und neue Formen historischer Vermittlung – Unterschiede zwischen deutscher und britischer Ripper-Rezeption – die Rolle von Frauen im viktorianischen East End – die anhaltende Debatte um Tätertheorien und – die Diskussion rund um Hallie Rubenholds Buch "The Five". Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf aktuelle mediale Bearbeitungen des Stoffs, darunter die Romane von Bradley Harper sowie jüngere Serienproduktionen, die das viktorianische East End erneut ins Zentrum rücken. Diese Folge richtet sich an alle, die sich für Quellenkritik, Forschungskultur und die historischen Lebensrealitäten im London des Jahres 1888 interessieren. **Wer uns mit einem Kaffee bei der Recherche unterstützen möchte: ko-fi.com/rippermythos** **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Mehr über Dorothee und Philipp findet ihr unter: london-beyond-time-and-place.com Show moreShow less

Heute schließen wir die Whitechapel-Mordakte, doch zuvor werfen wir einen Blick auf die Frauen, die bis 1891 als letzte Opfer aufgeführt wurden und aus der offiziellen Ripper-Geschichte verschwanden. Wer waren Rose Mylett, Alice McKenzie und Frances Coles? Was wissen wir über das unbekannte Opfer aus der Pinchin Street? Es sind Frauen, deren Tod ebenso grausam wie rätselhaft war, die aber nie denselben Platz im öffentlichen Gedächtnis fanden wie die „Kanonischen Fünf“. Kann Jack the Ripper als Täter definitiv ausgeschlossen werden? Wie reagierten Presse und Öffentlichkeit auf diese neuen Taten? In dieser Folge betrachten wir die letzten Fälle der Whitechapel-Mordakte, stellen euch die unschuldigen Frauen vor, folgen widersprüchlichen Obduktionsberichten, zweifelnden Ermittlern und einer Presse, die zwischen Panikmache und Schweigen schwankte. Tauche ein in die Whitechapel-Mordeserie, bevor aus den Morden Geschichte wurde – und aus der Geschichte ein Mythos. **Folgt uns auch auf Instagram: @jack_the_ripper_podcast** Show moreShow less

Groundbreaking history and exciting investigative journalism combine in a work jam-packed with newly unearthed finds and fresh insights that pull us deeper into the world of Jack the Ripper and closer to the man himself. Wescott does not promote a suspect but instead comprehensively investigates the murders of Polly Nichols and Elizabeth Stride, bringing to light new medical evidence, crucial new material on important witnesses, and – revealed for the first time – the name of a woman who may have met Jack the Ripper and survived to tell the tale.Also discussed in this book:Charles Lechmere, recently named as a suspect in the Jack the Ripper documentary, Conspiracy: The Missing Evidence, is restored to his proper place in history as an innocent witness. Walter Sickert, the subject of Patricia Cornwell’s Jack the Ripper books, was not the Ripper, but is revealed here to have been only one of several artists and poets who may have been acquainted with victim Mary Kelly.Bruce Robinson’s Jack the Ripper book, They All Love Jack, controversially endorsed the myth that fruiterer Matthew Packer sold grapes to Liz Stride which were later found on her hand. Around this was constructed an intricate police conspiracy. In Ripper Confidential the truth is exposed and these events are proved beyond doubt to have never taken place.Was Elizabeth Stride a Ripper victim? For the first time, all the myths are cleared away and the facts are looked at in great detail. The contemporary investigators speak out from the past and tell us what they thought of one of the Ripper’s most enigmatic and controversial clues – the chalk-written message on the wall in Goulston Street. Did the Ripper write it and what might it actually have said?A comprehensive look is taken at Berner Street witness, Israel Schwartz. Why did he disappear within weeks from the written record? Was or was he not a legitimate witness? This and much more is discussed, and for the first time it’s revealed why he did not give evidence at the inquest, why the two best known versions of his story are inconsistent, and – most crucially – that he was not the last person to see Liz Stride with a man who was probably her killer.

In the autumn of 1888, a serial killer known as Jack the Ripper stalked the East End of London. He was never identified, but hundreds of people were accused. Some were known to the authorities at the time, and others were named by later researchers. The truth about them, and the reasons why they came under suspicion, is often lost in a plethora of opinions and misinformation. For the first time, this book presents the evidence against 333 suspects. They include the publican who painted his dog, the first woman sentenced to the electric chair, the writer of the Red Flag, the man with a thousand convictions, Britain’s oldest Prime Minister, and many others. People from all walks of nineteenth century life, representing many different nationalities and professions. United by a link, however tenuous, to the most famous murderer in history.

When playing the game of Name the Ripper, many authors start with a suspect and attempt to make them fit the facts; some can't even be proved to be in London at the time of the murders. What is required is an ordinary man local to the East End; a man who suffered mental illness, and was known to prowl the streets at night.... When playing the game of Name the Ripper, many authors start with a suspect and attempt to make them fit the facts; some can't even be proved to be in London at the time of the murders. What is required is an ordinary man local to the East End; a man who suffered mental illness, and was known to prowl the streets at night. A man with vast experience of wielding a knife in his place of work, and who had family ties to Wentworth Model Dwellings, where the only clue ever left by the killer - a bloodied portion of apron - was discovered. A man whose admission to a lunatic asylum coincided with the cessaton of the Whitechapel murders. A man like Jacob Levy. Jacob Levy came to the attention of researchers Neil and Tracy I'Anson many years ago. Their continuing research has brought new evidence to light; sifting through hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of information from various research facilities they came across new undiscovered facts that strengthened their theory, and helped piece together the life of Jacob Levy, including the startling fact that their suspect was a first cousin of Joseph Hyam Levy, the witness at Mitre Square who appeared to be shocked when spotting a man with a woman who was later identified as victim Catherine Eddowes; The Evening News reported that "Mr Levy is absolutely obstinate and refuses to give the slightest information and he leaves one to infer that he knows something but that he is afraid to be called on the inquest." JACOB THE RIPPER goes some way to explaining the movements of the Whitechapel murderer, the graffiti at Goulston Street, the actions of the police, the ‘Lipski’ link, and ultimately what happened to the murderer.

A bloodthirsty killer was on the loose in the slums of London. The world was on the lookout for Jack the Ripper. Scotland Yard never found their man—or so they said publicly. The police knew the killer’s identity but concealed it to save the ruling class from embarrassment. The Escape of Jack the Ripper , the true story behind the Whitechapel murders, reveals how British elites manipulated the public to protect one of their own. Through meticulous research, including documents disclosed here for the first time, Jonathan Hainsworth and Christine Ward-Agius have uncovered the killer’s identity. In  The Escape of Jack the Ripper , you’ll learn: How a fit of madness transformed a reputable gentleman into a savage murderer That the killer was caught literally red-handed but talked his way out of police custody About the decades-long cover-up by the press and the police to protect a well-to-do family’s reputation About the harrowing social conditions in which the murders took place and why the killer may have been a frustrated reformer How the social privileges enjoyed by the ruling class led to a miscarriage of justice A thoroughly researched and gripping tale,  The Escape of Jack the Ripper  solves the great Whitechapel murder mystery once and for all.

A tremendous history lesson and essential reading for everyone in the Rochester area. You'll recognize the locations and find interest in how those places looked 140 years ago.... A tremendous history lesson and essential reading for everyone in the Rochester area. You'll recognize the locations and find interest in how those places looked 140 years ago. Book tells the story of five murders, all taking place in the City of Rochester, N.Y., during the latter decades of the nineteenth century. The first story, which takes up the first half of the book, is about the home invasion murder of a young wife and mother. Her body is found in the cellar, a flour sack tied tightly around her neck and her skirts hiked up. At first, of course, the husband was arrested, amid rumors that he and his wife, along with another couple, were swingers. But he was released in favor of a preferable suspect, a damaged young tramp who'd been floating around the Hayward Avenue neighborhood looking for food. In another story, the resort town of Charlotte (that's Cha'LOT to Rochesterians) where the rich went to play along the crystal clear waters of Lake Ontario. At night it was where the pick pockets and the thugs went to fleece drunks who still had money in their pockets. After our victim checks into a hotel for the night complaining he'd been mugged, he dies overnight from brain swelling. Who bonked him on the head. The answer seems to come the next day when a man is going around trying to sell the victim's watch. In another story, brother kills brother. Book spans the last years of the gallows in Monroe County, and the first of the new-fangled electric chair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Show moreShow less

Book******WINNER***Independent Publisher (IPPY) Bronze Medal Award for Best History Book 2014******FINALIST*** Indie Excellence Award for Best True Crime Book (second place)***Jack the Ripper stalked the streets of London’s East End from August through November of 1888 in what is dubbed the ‘Autumn of Terror’. However, the grisly ripping of Polly Nichols on August 31st was not the first unsolved murder of the year. The April murder of Emma Smith and the August murder of Martha Tabram both occurred on bank holidays. They baffled the police and press alike and were assumed by the original investigators to have been the first murders in the series. Where they correct? In this provocative work of literary archeology, author Tom Wescott places these early murders in their proper historical context and digs to unearth new evidence and hard facts not seen in over 125 years. The Bank Holiday Murders is the only book of its kind. It eschews the tired approach of unsatisfying ‘final solutions’ in favor of solid research, logical reasoning and new information. The clues followed are not drawn from imagination but from the actual police reports and press accounts of the time. The questions asked by Wescott are ones first suggested by the original investigators but lost to time until now. The answers provided are compelling and sometimes explosive. Among the revelations are:•New information linking the murders of Smith & Tabram to the same killer(s).•Proof that the police did not believe key witnesses in either case. •Proof that at least one of these witnesses was working with the murderer.•New evidence connecting many of the victims that may lead to their actual slayers.•Information on Emily Horsnell, the ACTUAL first Whitechapel murder victim.•The hidden truth of ‘Leather Apron’ and its role in unraveling the Ripper mystery.•Proof of a corrupt police sergeant who thwarted the investigation. Was he protecting the Ripper?•Much more.The Bank Holiday Murders: The True Story of the First Whitechapel Murders brings us closer than ever to the actual truth behind the Jack the Ripper story and is sure to appeal to fans of Paul Begg, Stewart P.

No less than thirty-nine unsolved murders and nearly forty brutal assaults of women were committed in the United States, but instead of along major highways, these heinous crimes were committed along the railways. At the time, the attacks were termed ‘mysterious,’ since they seemed to be motiveless—meaning there was no evidence of the usual rape or robbery. In cases where an assailant or suspicious person was spotted, his physical description was the same: tall, middle-aged, and wearing a specific gray overcoat. Shockingly, one of Scotland Yard’s prime Jack the Ripper suspects cannot be eliminated as having committed each of these Stateside crimes. That suspect was the tall, transient hater of women, Dr. Francis Tumblety. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Show moreShow less

The autumn of 1888 went down in British history as “the autumn of terror”. From August to November, a serial killer named “Jack the Ripper” murdered five women in London’s East End and was never caught. His first “canonical” murder took place in Buck’s Row, Whitechapel, on 31 August. At around 3:45 am, two workmen, Charles Lechmere and Robert Paul, found the lifeless body of prostitute Mary Ann “Polly” Nichols in front of Brown’s Yard in Buck’s Row. They decided to tell the next policeman they would meet. In the meantime, Police Constable Neil found the body and called for help and a doctor. Polly’s throat was cut and there were stab wounds in her stomach and her genitals. A small pool of blood had formed underneath her and soaked in her hair and her clothes. At this point, nobody knew that this gruesome murder was still only the beginning of a murder series. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Show moreShow less
