Publisher Description
His name was Montague Druitt—also known as "Jack the Ripper." His handiwork included the slaughter of at least five women of ill repute in the East End of London. His likely motivation for the location of his murders was to call attention to the atrocious conditions in which East Enders lived. This book, compiled from years of meticulous research, presents the thinking behind the murders, the man behind the moniker, and the circumstances behind his demise. In The Escape of Jack the Ripper, listeners will learn:
How a blood-stained Druitt was arrested yet bluffed his way to freedom by pretending to be a medical student helping the poor
How Druitt confessed to his cousin, an Anglican priest
How Druitt's family placed him in a private, expensive asylum in France, only for him to flee when a nurse blew the whistle
How Druitt's identity was concealed by his well-connected friends and family, thus hatching the mystery of Jack the Ripper
This fascinating story is revealed fully for the first time with many never-before-published photographs, including the newly discovered, last-known image of Druitt.
