The Secret Identity of Jack The Ripper

Hosted by: Peter Ustinov
Produced by: John Cosgrove and Terry Meurer (Unsolved Mysteries)

Synopsis: Over a century ago, a vicious serial murderer stalked the streets of London. A string of innocent victims were brutally slashed by his knife. No suspects were convicted. There have been scores of books and movies on the subject and dozens of theories about the killings have evolved, but none have been conclusive. To this day, the true identity of the killer who has haunted the nightmares of the world has never been determined.

On the 100th anniversary of the killings, a respected team of world-reknowned forensic scientists and criminologists were gathered for a live news-making television event to pursue an important task: to uncover the secret identity of JACK THE RIPPER!
