Jack The Ripper was a serial killer who targeted prostitutes during 19th century England. The crimes were never solved.
However, I was watching a documentary one time, and this woman claimed that Jack the Ripper was the apprentice of the man who painted the famous painting "Whistler's Mother." She had some convincing arguments. For example, "Jack" was at a bar one night and bragged to someone about the murders.

"Jack the Ripper" is the popular name given to a serial killer who killed a number of prostitutes in the East End of London in 1888. The name originates from a letter written by someone who claimed to be the killer published at the time of the murders. The killings took place within a mile area and involved the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate, and the City of London proper. He was also called the Whitechapel Murderer and "Leather Apron."

He killed as many prostitutes as he could. It ended up being some royal doctor who got mad at a whore for giving his prince syphyllis.
