case 6 pt. 1

I’m back! I’m sorry about the few weeks of silence. I had a lot of technical, as well as personal issues that needed my attention. But hopefully, now I’ll be able to post regularly again. That’s the plan anyway. As promised, I have the first week of our Jack the Ripper series. Today’s post is simply going to be an introduction. Not a lot of detail today, but that will be coming in the upcoming weeks. I can assure you that I’m going to slam you guys and gals with plenty of facts and details. Now, let’s get down to business.
Jack the Ripper

Dates: August-November 1888 (confirmed) 1891 (speculated)
Location: White Chapel (London), England
Victims: Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, Mary Kelly (confirmed)
Details:
                In a time when people relied on less than honest newspapers to bring them their news, crime was a high seller. Which is why in the summer on 1888 when a killer was ravaging the community of White Chapel, people bought these papers filled with scandalous lies and inaccurate assumptions in droves. They ate it up, and the newspaper owners knew this. They fed on people’s curiosity like a cat on milk. They knew the more lurid details that lined the pages and columns, the more they’d sell. And sell they did! Off of the backs of 5 innocent victims. The “Canonical Five”; Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, Mary Kelly are the “Ripper’s” five known victims. These women were savagely murdered and mutilated by this unidentified brute. Jack is the first known celebrity serial killer. He gained fame, and he has kept it for over 100 years. He spurred the new field of criminalistics known as “Ripperology”. Many have studied him and his kills. Many have speculated. But none have identified him yet. That, however, has not stopped the advancements in the case. The next 5 weeks will break down these crimes and pose possible suspects and theories. Let’s delve into the world of the dark, shall we?

As always, discretion is advised. The Boy in the Box Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Date: February 25, 1957 Victim: unidentified young boy approximately 4-6 years old Details:                 On a cold, Pennsylvania morning in 1957, Fredrick Benosis reported a horrifying discovery. The naked body of a young boy was tucked into a cardboard box and dumped in an out of the way area of Philadelphia. Unfortunately, this was not the first time this particular crime scene had been stumbled upon. Nor was it reported on the same day as Benosis had discovered the body.  Due to wanting to avoid criminal charges, the young boy had lain in the cold for at least three days. While the cold had preserved the body relatively well, the elements did nothing to protect the forensic evidence. Evidence & Autopsy:             ...

Hello

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dahlia Wolfe. I have created this blog as a place for mystery lovers, such as myself, to come and read and comment on unsolved mysteries and cold cases. This will be a weekly blog, each week a new case (unless a case is too complex to cover in one post). There will be a wide range of cases, and suggestions are always welcome. I will link all of my sources, as well as other resources pertinent to the case or that could touch on topics about the case that I could not cover. I will go ahead and state that any theories I present now or in the future do not necessarily reflect my own beliefs, they are simply beliefs of the researchers I have utilized in my search to shed light on the cases. A new blog should be expected to go up every weekend unless otherwise addressed. I welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Stay curious, Dahlia
