Episode #7: Was Walter Sickert Actually Jack the Ripper? PART TWO (Season 1, Episode 7) - a podcast by Jennifer Dasal/Art Curious

Back in 2002, I was browsing a new releases table at my local bookstore when a particular book caught my eye. It seemed like yet another crime novel, one among hundreds. And so, I moved on, until I saw the subtitle of the book: Jack the Ripper: Case Closed. In it, the author released a bombshell statement: she had purportedly solved the mystery of Jack the Ripper's identity, which had evaded researchers, historians, and police for over one hundred years. 
Jack the Ripper, she said, was the English painter Walter Sickert.
