Beers with Queers A True Crime Podcast28 Touko 2024

82.) Francis Tumblety aka Jack the Ripper? (Ft. Author Tony McMahon)

A dandy in velvet. A surgeon with a temper. A fascination with uteruses.

In the fog of 1880s London, Jack the Ripper stalked and mutilated women—and one of Scotland Yard’s top suspects was a flamboyant American doctor known for his hatred of sex workers and rumored interest in men. Francis Tumblety, a documented historical queer figure, left behind a trail of scandal, secrets, and suspicion.

This episode dives into Victorian repression, Ripper lore, and the long-debated theory that queerness and murder may have shared a suspect.To help us get to understand this Ripper suspect, we actually had the chance to sit down with Author Tony McMahon to discuss his research and the release of his new book, "Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln". Which is available today and I highly recommend you guys check it out because it sent me down so many rabbit holes. Order: "Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln: One Man connects the two greatest crimes of the 19th century." by Tony McMahon- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jack-Ripper-Abraham-Lincoln-greatest/dp/1805143646
