We’re back with part 2 of the most notorious Victorian serial killer, Jack the Ripper! In this episode, we discuss the final 2 canonical victims, focusing on who they were before their murders. Clara explains the media frenzy that this case stirred up, as well as the general paranoia in London at the time. To deal with their lack of control over the situation, citizens were writing letters to the police with a lot of “helpful” advice…including the Queen herself!
