Jack The Ripper: Finally IDENTIFIED via DNA Evidence?!?
About this episode
“Okay, picture this: It’s 1888, the streets of London are straight-up terrifying. A mysterious killer is on the loose, and the police? Useless. I mean in all honesty, they were really doing a great job with what they had.. The problem was.. they didn't have much.. Fast forward over a century, and we still have NO IDEA who Jack the Ripper really was… that is… until now! New DNA evidence has just dropped that claims to FINALLY reveal his true identity… And this guy.. may have just be right under our noses all along.
