Person
The Hunt for the Australian Ripper presents a number of the unique cases where other horrific crimes were committed that deliberately impersonated the original Jack the Ripper murders of 1888, incidents where the media leveraged off of the sensationalism of the legends, and the biography of the man who was accused of being the original Jack the Ripper himself!
