He'll reveal his main suspect for the brutal serial homicides.The Murder Sheet participates in the Amazon Associate program and earns money from qualifying purchases.Purchase JimMcKenna’s book Penny Black here: https://www.amazon.com/Penny-Black-Jim-McKenna/dp/B0C6P2S7SW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZQV63NUE1PYH&keywords=penny+black+jim+mckenna&qid=1701109819&sprefix=penny+black+jim%252Caps%252C128&sr=8-1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=aa1274a8908fb343100677c3b4609216&camp=1789&creative=9325Purchase The Complete Jack the Ripper by Donald Rumbelow here: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Jack-Ripper-Donald-Rumbelow/dp/0753541505?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=427a76dfff92c58789e24b5c897701c1&camp=1789&creative=9325Purchase People of the Abyss by Jack London here: https://www.amazon.com/People-Abyss-original-illustrations/dp/B08TRLB6HV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1DUNJWPCH42IN&keywords=Jack+london+--+people+of+the+abyss&qid=1701106050&s=books&sprefix=jack+london+--+people+of+the+abyss%252Cstripbooks%252C94&sr=1-1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=e9dcb24c9182f8141f10c19c0dbf60f9&camp=1789&creative=9325Here’s a link to Ripperologist magazine: http://www.ripperologist.co.uk/Purchase The Cases That Haunt Us by John Douglas here: https://www.amazon.com/Cases-That-Haunt-Us/dp/0671017063/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1GM8CSR07TKI6&keywords=john+douglas+--+cases+that+haunted&qid=1701106217&sprefix=john+douglas+--+cases+that+haunted%252Caps%252C93&sr=8-1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=62888367a265fda95336e4470e021278&camp=1789&creative=9325Purchase The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold here: https://www.amazon.com/Five-Untold-Lives-Killed-Ripper/dp/1328663817?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=9f88591cd1e9dda022d391b302307890&camp=1789&creative=9325Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------At The Murder Sheet, we spend so much time digging into crime stories, that sometimes it’s hard to find the time to plan out and cook elaborate, nutritious meals.
