Product Description
As Ripperologist James Tully reveals, the most convincing candidate for the notorious Victorian serial killer was a convicted murderer and escaped mental patient -- Prisoner 1167 of the notorious Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum -- yet his file was kept sealed when the police failed to apprehend him after the last Ripper killing.
-- Why are "Prisoner 1167"'s government files still classified almost seventy after his death?
-- How do his alias and profession link him to the notorious first letter from "Jack the Ripper"?
-- What are the similarities between his murder of his wife in 1883 and the Ripper killings in 1888?
-- Why was Broadmoor contacted about him immediately after the most gruesome of the Ripper's murders?
-- Why does this man, the Home Office's only named suspect, never appear in either case records or the press?
-- Why did the London Police fail to catch him and how did he remain on the run for forty years?
