The Escape of Jack the Ripper: History’s Most Infamous Serial Killer, and the Cover-up to Protect His Identity
October 19, 2021 ● 43 minShare this episode
Druitt’s handiwork included the slaughter of at least five women of ill repute in the East End of London—an urban hell where women sold themselves for a stale crust of bread. But mysteries still remain about Druit – including his thinking behind the murders, the man behind the moniker, and the circumstances behind his demise. Exploring these questions are today’s guests Jonathan Hainsworth and researcher Christine Ward-Agius, authors of The Escape of Jack the Ripper: The Truth about the Cover-up and His Flight from Justice.
We discuss:
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
