Title Details
Description
A diary found in Liverpool may be the key to identifying history's first and most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper. For decades the mystery of his identity has confounded experts, but this recent finding may finally bring them some answers. It is filled with clues that identify its author as James Maybrick, a cotton merchant who died in 1889 of arsenic poisoning, probably due to his own addiction to the substance - an addiction that contributed to a secret life in London as Jack the Ripper. The diary is the subject of considerable controversy, however, and a report questioning its authenticity is included here, along with a rebuttal to that report. Follow the detective work as the experts compare the diary's content with what is already known about Maybrick and Jack the Ripper. Make your own decision - were these 2 personas one and the same?
