Jack the Ripper: Killer Revealed

One-Hour Special for Discovery Channel / Science Channel / FremantleMedia Enterprises

The identity of Jack the Ripper has remained an unsolved mystery for over a century. Now historian Mei Trow presents a new theory on the unparalleled reign of terror in which at least five women were killed in London’s East End in 1888. Based on two years of exhaustive research, and using modern psychological and geographical profiling techniques, Trow identifies Robert Mann, a Whitechapel mortuary assistant, as the Ripper. Mann was mentioned during the original investigation but has never been put forward as a possible suspect – until now. As Trow pieces together the evidence linking Mann with the Ripper murders, he also makes the case for two additional Ripper victims.

This film accompanies a major new book, Jack the Ripper: Quest for a Killer published by Pen and Sword Books.
