Episode description

In this premiere episode of Letter Rip, Zach dives into the 'From Hell' Letter written by Jack the Ripper. Here's some background on the infamous correspondence: On the night of October 15th, George Lusk—Chairman of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee in London, a group of locals desperate to stop the brutal killings terrorizing their streets—received a letter that would go down as one of the most disturbing in criminal history. The writer claimed to be none other than Jack the Ripper. But this wasn’t just another hoax or attention-seeking note. It came in a small box. Inside? Half a human kidney, preserved in wine. Many believe it belonged to Catherine Eddowes, the Ripper’s fourth victim. According to the letter, the killer had already fried and eaten the other half. It was a message soaked in gore, mockery, and madness—and it brought the fear in Whitechapel to a whole new level.
