A proposito di questo titolo

In Victorian London, human torsos began appearing in and around the River Thames. Carefully dismembered, deliberately unidentified, and quietly dismissed by authorities, these cases became known as the Thames Torso Murders. At the same time, the city was gripped by fear over another unsolved series of killings — the crimes attributed to Jack the Ripper. In this episode of Unsolved-ish: A Strange History Podcast, we explore whether these two mysteries could be connected, and why Victorian investigators were so determined to insist they were not. We examine the differences in method, the overlap in time and place, and the institutional pressure to contain panic during one of London’s most unstable periods. Rather than asking who the killer was, this episode asks a different question: what happens when authorities decide not to look too closely? Was the separation of these cases based on evidence — or convenience? This is a story about Victorian crime, investigative failure, and the dangers of confidence without proof. Not solved.
Not ruled out.
Just… Unsolved-ish.
