Bodybacks with Joseph Scott Moore

not London, but Lundinium, which is the old Roman settlement right along the Thames River that runs through the middle of London.

Today, we're going to talk about something, I think, in our modern minds, it seems ancient,

but really wasn't that long ago, just over 100 years ago, that happened, that sent shockwaves through London and by that measure

around the world and that is the murders that occurred in Whitechapel those murders have been

infamously connected to one individual that went by the name of Jack the Ripper.
