Missing Person Commentary

By: Shane Lambert You've all heard of Jack the Ripper , the serial killer who terrorized the Whitechapel area of London in the late 1800s. However, I doubt many of you have heard of "Jack the Tripper." No doubt his name is derived from the serial killer's. He was an unnamed criminal who attacked women in Indianapolis in 1893. His modus operandi? He would grab women by the ankles, lift them, and then make off like a coward as they lay maimed.

The mystery of the murder victim's identity stands out because, at the original time of writing back in 2017, it was the oldest unsolved mystery listed at DoeNetwork.org. I researched this mystery using online newspaper databases for a good two hours on February 5th, 2017.
