On November 9, 1888, the body of Mary Kelly was found in her rented room off Dorset Street on London's East End by a landlord assistant sent to collect overdue rent. Mary, a young prostitute, was brutally slain--most agree, by Jack the Ripper.
The identity of this depraved murderer was never been solved, although many, many people have tried.
Along the way, some startling suspect names emerge. One is Prince Albert Victor, duke of Clarence and grandson to Queen Victoria.
Read my blog post on English Historical Fiction Authors to discover the strange baseless origin of this myth.
