| The Illustrated Police News reports on the murder of Catherine Eddowes. |
Jack the Ripper murders Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes just after midnight in London’s Whitechapel neighborhood. He only slit Stride’s throat, leading some to believe he was interrupted during the murder before he could carry out further mutilation.Listen above to the History Uncovered podcast, episode 104: Jack The Ripper, Episode 3 – The Murder Of Elizabeth Stride, also available on Apple and Spotify.
Eddowes was also found with a slit throat, but her killer had also ripped open her abdomen, removed her uterus, and carved up her face. The two women’s murders have since become known as the “double event” in Jack the Ripper lore. This famously uncaught killer would go on to murder just one more confirmed victim before his reign of terror ended.

I suspect they didn't care all that much more about deaded hookers back then than they do now. Cops seem to, but only for big case overtime. Have you seen how many cops swarm a hooker killing field and how few show for an active shooter event?
