Jack The Ripper

The six of us went on the Jack the Ripper Tour. I reserved us a spot on www.jack-the-ripper-tours.com. There are a number of walking tours, but this one was easy to work since you do not pay until the end of the tour. It felt more legitimate.
Dickie was our tour guide and he was very...enthusiastic. He really got into telling about the ripper and his victims. As we walked from spot to spot Dickie told us about historic places we passed one of which was Charles Dickens' primary school.
It is nustled in what is now full of India culture.
I remember a bit about Jack the Ripper from writing a research paper my senior year of high school, but there was so much more information. When I wrote my paper I was limited to encyclopdias and books, now there is so much more information and access to information.
Unfortunately, most of the spots where Jack attacked his victims have been refurbished. Many places were alleys which have become parts of shops or apartments. It is sad that 5 women and one unborn child paid such a price; having their throats slit 1 or 2 times, being disemboweled, and often having an organ removed.
The point of the tour was to try and figure out who he was. Who was he? No one knows. Fingerprinting was used, but it was too new. Photographs were possible, but police believed if you took a picture of the victim's eyes one could see the last thing the victim saw before death. This, of course, did NOT work.
Time was wasted and people were scared. Hysteria set in and people died.
