Episode 24 - Jack the Ripper - Suspect list!

Today, Nicky drags everyone down her own personal dark and twisted rabbit hole as she discusses one of her favourite (if you can call it that) true crime cases, that just like Helen of Troy lunched a thousand ships, inspired hundreds of books… Jack the Ripper.Having just had the 135th anniversary of the deaths last year, Nicky bravely walked the streets of London, and not to attract custom – she wanders around Waterstones for that – but to do a Ripper tour. Although drenched in suspects, Nicky presents her list of possible to Lisa, along with a few wilder theories.  Red rabbit holes are bad enough, but will our hosts break free of the foggy, cobbled Victorian streets of Whitechapel before it’s too late?*over 21?
