The Ripper Retold

Historian Hallie Rubenhold tells the real, untold story of the Jack the Ripper victims.

In late 1888, five women were brutally murdered in a slum neighborhood of London. The violent killer earned himself a nickname – Jack the Ripper. But everything you think you know murders and those murdered women is wrong.

In a new 15-part series, historian Hallie Rubenhold tells you the real story of those victims and how they came to be in the path of a serial killer — completely overturning the Ripper story we’ve been told up until now.
