The Whitechapel murders of 1888 were once recorded in precise detail—five women, five names, five crime scenes. But over the decades, the facts have been buried by theory, distortion, and narrative excess. What followed wasn’t justice. It was noise. Ripperology began with real investigation. It devolved into a kind of open casting call—a parade of improbable suspects, each auditioning for the part of the killer.
