Join me for the penultimate episode of this mini-series where we’ll examine the death of the final canonical victim, in a bloodbath so unimaginable that it has become one of the most memorable Ripper murders, symbolic of his spiralling descent closer and closer to hell. We’ll look at Mary Jane Kelly’s life and try to understand the strange testimony of the witnesses as we encounter a visitor dressed in astrakhan, a man with a sinister black bag bothering women in the area, a missing key and more.***Don’t forget to rate and review on your favourite Podcatcher***No part of this episode may be reproduced or copied in any form without the written permission of Prash’s Murder Map.Thanks for listening!

26 | Jack The Ripper Part 6 : Mary Jane Kelly

Let’s look at the second part of the so-called Double Event that chilled the people of Whitechapel to the bone on 30th September 1888. Catherine Eddowes was arrested for her own safety after being found drunk in the street, and ironically met her demise just 400 yards from the police station minutes after her release, her corpse mutilated in the most vicious and disgusting way that had yet been seen. ***Don’t forget to rate and review on your favourite Podcatcher***Thanks for listening!

Black versus white, North versus South, vigilantes and a deathbed confession. Join me for all this and more as we travel to Atlanta, Georgia in 1913 to learn about the tragic death of 13-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan – one of the most divisive cases in history.

18 | Tair Rada: Unsolved and Unjust

We travel back to Minnesota in 1912 to discover the tragic case of a young woman slain just yards from home: so close to safety, yet so far from salvation. She was popular and hardworking, with a loving, happy family, and no enemies. So how was it possible that a man confessed multiple times to killing 21-year-old Alice Matthews, but nobody was ever taken to trial? Thanks for listening!

Most murderers try to hide their crimes. But this one wrote a book about it. Join me on a journey to Poland as we learn about the strange case of the failed intellectual, businessman and novelist who brutally killed his ex-wife’s lover in a jealous rage. He thought he was smarter than the police. But he was wrong. Recommended Podcast: Morbidology, check out  https://morbidology.com/morbidology-podcast/Thanks for listening!

When Quakers Hill Nursing Home hired a new member of staff without conducting proper background checks, they had no idea of the carnage that would follow, as their night shift nurse Roger Dean became one of the worst mass murderers in Australian history. Murder is always distressing, but when the victims are some of society’s most vulnerable members, it becomes even more poignant.Recommended Podcast: Brew Crime https://brewcrime.com/Thanks for listening!

Last time, in the first part of this double episode, I told the story of the disguise-wearing, letter-writing serial killer operating in California’s Bay Area in 1968 and 69, who christened himself Zodiac. His choice of victim changed, as did his MO, so how do you catch a killer whose only motive is achieving infamy and mocking the police? Join me for Part 2, where we’ll analyse the killer’s behaviour and review some of the popular suspects and theories, and we’ll hear from Zodiac expert Michael Butterfield. It’s a case that’s now over 50 years old, so will the killer ever be named?Thanks for listening!
