Test Your Knowledge: Jack the Ripper

Whitechapel! All the murders happened within a mile area in the East End London neighborhood of Whitechapel.

Leather Apron! When the murders first started, the press referred to him as Leather Apron.

Himself! In the height of the murders, the Central News Agency received a letter signed Jack the Ripper.

5! They are referred to as the canonical five. The other murders in the area were not attributed to Jack the Ripper because they didn't match his violent M.O.

Lewis Carroll! He was never suspected by police, rather by another author. The 1996 book Jack the Ripper, Light-Hearted Friend by Richard Wallace proposed the theory that Carroll left secret clues and details about the murders in his books. Carroll is probably the most famous person added to the suspect list, but he is not taken seriously as a suspect.
