Episode 636: Gordon Cummins: The Blackout Ripper (Part 2)

There was also the matter of the victim's class, status, and profession. Like Hallie said, the women who were killed were vulnerable. Some of them were sex workers. People were sympathetic, but as with the women killed by Jack the Ripper, there was that underlying feeling, what did they expect? Until recently, again, this story has gone kind of forgotten.

Some reporters, some historians have done little pieces here and there on them, but I didn't know about this. Yeah. And Rubenhold and her partner, criminologist Alice Fiennes, want to change that whole thing, just like they wanted to change how the Jack the Ripper story was told. And I think they did a great job at it by telling it more through the victims than through the perpetrator.

I want to go like dive further into it. She wrote, and Ruben Holt said, the women he assaulted had one thing in common. They were all trying to make their way in a world turned upside down by war. It's just like the Jack the Ripper case. When you look further into the victims' lives... you see like so much more to the landscape of what was going on. Absolutely.

In her books, too. That's great. Which we'll put all the stuff in the show notes. Yeah, definitely. But that is the story of the Blackout Ripper. Devastating.

Yeah, I was tempted to go full Jack the Ripper with this and do a wild 72-page dissertation. I mean, you are a ripperologist. I held back, though. I held back on it a little bit. I might revisit it again to like go even deeper into some things. But this is a wild one. Yeah. This shocked me.

I think people like it. I hope so. Personally. If not, take me away in a drone. Take me away. Yeah, what the fuck? Okay, so this is coming out in about six months. So hopefully... Hopefully. It's been like a few weeks. By then, if we figured out this drone situation, because you guys are in the future. So right now where we sit, we're in the thick of it. It's not even Krimis time yet.
