Jack The Ripper was a Hoax!

“Jack the Ripper was a forgery invented by journalists to link a series of unrelated murders and sell newspapers, according to a new book. The unsolved murders of five prostitutes in London’s East End in 1888 have spawned innumerable theories over the identity of the ‘real’ Jack the Ripper - with candidates including artist Walter Sickert, Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll and even Queen Victoria’s grandson the Duke of Clarence. But now historian Dr Andrew Cook claims to have blown all these theories out of the water by dismissing the notion of a brutal, murderous spree by one ’serial killer’ altogether. In his book Jack The Ripper: Case Closed, he argues that the famous letter bragging about the killings - signed ‘Jack the Ripper’ in the first-ever use of that name - was actually forged by journalists desperate to sell their newspaper.”
