The Disturbing Saga of the Blackout Ripper: Serial Killer Saturdays
Have you heard of the Blackout Ripper? The chilling legend that terrorized a city.
In the early 1940s, during the height of World War II, a shadowy figure stalked the streets of London.
Known as the Blackout Ripper, this mysterious individual struck fear into the hearts of the citizens.
The blackouts were the perfect cover for this deranged killer. In the darkness, he prowled, seeking out his victims.
Women were his chosen targets, and their lives were violently snuffed out in the dead of night.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
