After 137 Years, DNA May Have Finally Revealed Jack the Ripper
The Five Victims History Remembers
While debates continue over the full number of victims, most historians agree on five canonical names: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly. These women were often overlooked in life but became central figures in one of history’s most infamous mysteries.
Today, the focus has shifted. Researchers and writers are working to give these women their humanity back, telling their stories beyond the tragedy. They were not just victims. They were people with lives, struggles, and identities that deserve to be remembered.
