- Synopsis:
After more than a century, out of the mists and fogs of Victorian London, across 105 years of mystery, of speculation, of surmise and confusion, come the actual words of the most notorious murderer of all time: terrifying, chilling, and true! James Maybrick is now recognised as one of the most likely suspects to claim the identity of Jack the Ripper. Extensive investigation since the discovery of his 63-page 'diary' has supported and reinforced the evidence that this drug addicted respectable Liverpool businessman was in fact the world's most notorious serial killer. Step by painstaking step the diary is analysed, verified and questioned; experts and sceptics pit their knowledge against the information in the diary; gradually and remorselessly the evidence against Maybrick mounts - until his identity is beyond reasonable doubt. Maybrick's wife, sentenced to hang for murder, adds additional interest to the Maybrick story. Discover the chilling real tale behind the myth that is even more sinister... - Actors:
