‘Fiona F' is a Hogwarts Professor subscriber in Adelaide, Australia, the truly down under capitol of the South Pacific island-continent. She works as an environmental scientist on the days she isn't combing through the Cormoran Strike novels of Rowling-Galbraith in search of answers to the over-arching mysteries of that series.The Hogwarts Professor Talking Heads duo invited her to a discussion of her potential solutions to two of the unresolved questions that have to be answered before the epilogue of Strike 10, namely, ‘What really happened in the ruled-a-suicide deaths of Leda Strike and Charlotte Campbell?' Fiona seems to have broken both cases using information dropped as asides in Hallmarked Man.The Ten Questions that guided their conversation are below with the promised links and Fiona's time-lines and comments on the Moderator Backchannel they discuss.In brief, about Leda's death Fiona notes that we learn in Strike 8 that Shanker is familiar with ‘Barnaby's, the preferred body-disposal business used by the London under-world, to include the Ricci Crime Syndicate. She connects that dot with (1) Strike's memory of making a drug delivery for Shanker to the Ricci Godfather way back in the day when the two shared a flat and (2) Shanker's near panicked warnings to Strike not to investigate the Riccis in Troubled Blood. Fiona's theory? Means, motive, and opportunity point to the possibility that Leda's heroin overdose was a Ricci ‘message' to Shanker that he had better not cross them in a drug deal. Readers have missed this possibility because Shanker loved Leda like a mother, which love unfortunately made her a perfect target for the gangsters to ‘get at' Strike's adopted brother.And Charlotte's death? Fiona, unlike much of Strike fandom, accepts the Jeffery hypothesis (see here, here, and here) that Ms Campbell-Ross did not kill herself but was murdered in a staged-suicide (a la Leda Strike, Lula Landry, Jasper Chiswell, and Kevin Pirbright). After a close reading of Hallmarked Man, Fiona realized that Dino Longcaster, whom Tara Campbell married after she had divorced Charlotte's supposed biological father, may have been, based on his fathering Rupert Fleetwood in an adulterous relationship, Milady Bezerko's real sperm-donor daddy (and at home molester). Which possible parentage would have made Charlotte and Valentine Longcaster half-siblings. Fiona theorizes from there that the baby Charlotte says was Strike's was Valentine's (a la Rupert and Decima's Lion), that Jago Ross' children might have been Valentine's, or both. Valentine, Jago, and Tara shoot to the top of the ‘Charlotte Murder' suspect list, with Sasha, Rupert, and Amelia as Tara's agents all possibilities.Fiona, Nick, and John discuss the various Rowling Golden Threads in play with each of these theories — incest, pregnancy traps, staged suicides — and how both Fiona's Ricci-Shanker and Secret Charlotte theories are textbook illustrations of Rowling misdirection while planting clues in plain sight.John and Nick are grateful to Fiona for getting up as early as she did to chat with them and for sharing her theories here with the Serious Strikers at Hogwarts Professor. Hats doffed with a bow from the waist in admiration and gratitude! The Ten Questions With Links and Notes1. Fiona, you, Nick, and I have been chatting on the moderator back channels since May and we've shared your Daddy Dino theory in which Charlotte was another Longcaster child conceived in adultery and Valentine was her incestuous lover and abuser. Nick and I discussed that idea on our ‘Incest Golden Thread' program. But none of us know who you are really and I just learned you're living in Central Australia. Tell us about Fiona, a Welsh name?, and what brought you to Serious Striker land?12 April Fiona Comments on Moderator Backchannel:In response to a post by Cheryl Rose Orrocks on 17 Feb 2026, my current theory is that Dino Longcaster is Charlotte's father and that his son, Valentine Longcaster, will be revealed as her abuser and the possible biological father of Charlotte's children. Hence the 2nd incest storyline will also involve the Langcaster family. This could be why Charlotte's mother, Tara, despised Charlotte so much.If Jago Ross is somehow linked to the matter of the DNA test involving Bijou and Strike, it may be because he had Charlotte's birth children DNA tested to confirm parentage. Maybe Jago discovers he is not the biological father and assumes Strike is, hence the reason he wants to obtain Strike's DNA results.2. Nick was telling me the other day that he has been re-reading the series and it's changed his thinking about how he would rank the books, especially in light of Hallmarked Man. I hope he'll clarify what he means by that – and that you'll share, Fiona, where Strike 8 is on your list of best to worst Strike novels and if or how it changed your thoughts about the first seven.3. By the time this conversation is posted, I hope to have put up a short summary of your Birthday Party Theory, Fiona, or else it will be the text beneath this conversation. In brief, you lay out the calendar dates after Sacha Legard's birthday party with respect to Charlotte's death. Can you tell us why you thought that party had something to do with her death and how you went about setting up the time-line?May 6 Fiona note on Moderator Backchannels:In this video, your comments regarding Rupert Fleetwood and Charlotte's murder (1:00:17) got me thinking. If Charlotte was murdered, her murderer was likely present at Sacha Legard's birthday party.After checking out several sources (books (physical copies) 7 TRG and 8 THM, Strike Fans, the Farting Faculty Lounge and Hogwarts Professor) I put together a rough timeline to assemble my thoughts.* Saturday 21 May 2016: Sacha Legard's birthday. Valentine and Cosima Longcaster are at the party. Rupert Fleetwood gatecrashes and he and Valentine have some kind of confrontation (refer THM Chapter. 36, pages 291 and 292). I presume Charlotte and Amelia would have been at the party as they are Sacha's half siblings, however I have no evidence to support this.* Friday, 27 May 2016: Strike listens to Charlotte's voicemail messages. (TRG, Chapter 55, pages 421 and 423).* Tuesday, 14 June 2016: Charlotte is arrested for assault on Landon Dormer (TRG, Chapter 59).* Thursday, 23 June 2016: Strike deletes three voicemails from Charlotte before heading up to his attic flat (Chapter 61). Charlotte Campbell dies (commits suicide?).* Friday, 23 December 2016: When Strike goes to the National Theatre to interview Sacha Legard (THM, Chapter 36, pg. 289). Sacha says he ‘was shooting a film in Mexico (Conquest?) when all this business with him [Rupert] and Dessie happened.'I'm unsure when Sacha was in Mexico (before and/or after his birthday party on 21 May 2016). If he was filming in Mexico after his birthday then he may not have been in London when Charlotte died. If filming in Mexico finished before his birthday, he would have to be on the short-list of murder suspects.As Charlotte loved tension, conflict, and rows, she may have overheard the confrontation between Rupert and Valentine. Presuming the confrontation was about DNA testing and Dino Longcaster being Rupert's biological father, maybe the DNA results also contained information about other unknown (and related) people with a similar DNA profile to Rupert and the Longcaster's (Dino, Valentine, Decima and Cosima) and Rupert threatened Valentine with this information. Valentine is scared of his father, Dino, and wouldn't want the DNA paternity information to reach Dino.If Valentine Longcaster (as possible Charlotte abuser), finds out he is the biological father of Charlotte's children and realises that Charlotte has found this out, that could be a strong motive for murder, particularly as he was appalled by the incest between Decima and Rupert.It will be interesting to see if Rupert makes an appearance in Book 9.* See Louise Freeman Davis' Strike and Ellacott Timelines at The Farting Sofa Faculty Lounge.4. Your conclusion is a mind-blower as I've written in my notes you to invite you to wake up early down under to talk about it. To skip to the Big Reveal, you think, if Charlotte was at the birthday party or learned from Cosima or Valentine about the Dino-Decima-Rupert genetic conjunction, that Valentine Longcaster has to jump to the top of the Campbell-Ross ‘assisted suicide' list. How so?5. This is fascinating theorizing, Fiona, and it highlights what Nick has said that the complexity and crowdedness of Hallmarked is a marker of Rowling crafting a “target rich” environment for Books 9 and 10 possibilities. You wrote on 4 June that what if, instead of being molested at home by Trevik, her supposed biological father, she had been abused by a schoolteacher. Why did you think that was possible and how would it color your thinking about her life and death?4 June Fiona CommentHave you considered the possibility that Leda Strike (Peggy Nancarrow) was molested by a school teacher, rather than a victim of incest. Both scenarios are obviously awful. I have been pondering this because Leda/Peggy packed up and moved so often and Cormoran and Lucy never stayed in the same school for very long.6. On 10 June you sent your magnum opus, the Leda Strike life timeline and a ‘Means Before Motive' examination of her death. Again, why bother and how did you track down the dates?7. What did the data reveal about Leda that you hadn't seen before?10 June Fiona Timeline for Leda StrikeI have been systematically going back through the Strike books using the JKR finder in an attempt to work out who killed Leda Strike.I am relying on Rowling playing fair and that the answer to the question of Leda's death and the evidence to support this has already been given to us in the books.My attempt at Leda's timeline and my murder theory are attached. There are gaps in Leda's timeline and changing dates in the books. I mostly focused on Leda's childhood, then the last few years of her life in London. I'd be interested in your thoughts.Constructing Leda's timeline was also about reaching a conclusion on whether Cormoran Strike was the product of incest. At this stage, I don't think he was. The timeline doesn't support the incest theory and I suspect Leda was away from St Mawes from when she married at 18 and left Strike Snr two weeks later until she returned to give birth to Cormoran at Truro hospital at age 20. Too many parties and gigs to go to!I'd be interested in your thoughts.Leda Strike TimelinePeggy (Leda) born in 1954.Ted and Peggy (Leda) mother died when Ted 16 and Peggy (Leda) 2.Peggy (Leda) forcible separation from Ted at the age of two.Peggy (Leda) lived with her paternal grandmother. Ted stayed with their father, Trevik.Ted leaves home for National Service (age 18?)Ted returns from National Service after Trevik dies. (age 25?) Married Joan. Peggy (Leda) (age 11?)Peggy (Leda), at age 18, escapes her paternal grandmother, and runs away with a youth who'd come to Truro with the fair. Changed her name to Leda. Ted (32 years old).Leda married youth from the fair when she was 18 years old. She had run out on her husband after only two weeks and that her sole motivation in marrying Strike Snr. (who, according to Aunt Joan, had arrived in St. Mawes with the fair) had been a new dress, and a change of name.“Leda had never stayed still long enough to present a stable target. Often her children remained in a school for mere weeks before a new enthusiasm seized her, and off they went, to a new city, a new squat, crashing on her friends' floors or, occasionally, renting. The only people who knew what was going on, and who might have contacted social services, were Ted and Joan.”1990? Leda brought Shanker (age 16), who had been stabbed, home to their squat.1991 Leda Strike met Jeff Whittaker.1992 Nick Herbert and Strike had a joint eighteenth birthday party at the Bell pub in Whitechapel.1992 Leda had fallen pregnant in Strike's eighteenth year, while he was applying for university.Leda married Jeff Whittaker in 1992.Switch born in December 1992.Leda died in 1994, (age 40?), when Lucy (age 19?) and Strike (age 20?)8. Okay, now that we have Leda's life in a mental picture, walk us through your Means Before Motive breakdown of the most likely suspects.Fiona's Theory about Leda's death: Means before motive* Means: Three Suspects1. Member(s) of Ricci family or Ricci gang member.2. Jeff Whittaker.3. Shanker.All had access to drugs.* Motive1. Unpaid drug debt (Whittaker) and Ricci's killed Leda as a warning, or2. Rival gang to Shanker's cousin's takes revenge (knowing Shanker is close to Leda) and kill Leda as a warning, or3. Drug induced murder by Whittaker.Shanker's knowledge of organised crime in London is peerless. He knows what happened, blames Whittaker, but has never said anything to Strike. (Refer Troubled Blood, chapter 27, where Strike recalls helping Shanker make a ‘delivery' in ‘92 or '93 and Shanker's reaction to Strike's recall of that).Maybe Leda was suffocated while she slept (similar to Margot Bamborough's death), then injected with heroin by her killer.* Opportunity· Jeff Whittaker (lived at squat; a drug user).· Shanker (frequently visited the squat; was close to Leda).· Member(s) of Ricci family or Ricci gang member (local drug dealers) making a delivery.9. So Shanker is both a suspect and a person of knowledge; he either did it or knew who did it? How important is Strike's memory of the Ricci drug deal delivery for Shanker in all this?10. The beauty of this theory is that it's been so well set up; who has Shanker who revered Leda on their suspect list when she revered her so – and yet it was just that relationship that would have made her so vulnerable to targeting by the Riccis if Shanker stiffed them… Hence his warning Strike off the Riccis with such care in Troubled Blood and obscuring how he knows about Barnaby is Hallmarked?John Notes 10 JuneI'm intrigued by the Ricci-Shanker connection. Shanker knows about Barnaby's and that Knowles was dispatched there; Strike sees Marco Ricci later in the story making a delivery to Barnaby's. If I'm following your notes, Shanker's panic about Strike investigating the Riccis in Troubled Blood isn't out of concern for his adopted brother but from the fear that Cormoran will learn of his relationship with the family -- and, as you speculate, that Leda was killed by them as a message to young Shanker not to cross them. Shanker testified against Whittaker to scapegoat him and perhaps because he knew the Riccis would kill him if he told the truth.* Great plot twist and one that explains the whole Knowles plot line in Hallmarked Man and the police interest in Strike's source of information; Shanker is being presented as a dangerous criminal to readers who are blind (as are Strike and Robin) to the possibility that he was the natural suspect in Leda's death because of his proximity to nihilist forces. The delivery Strike made for Shanker to Ricci and Shanker's response to Strike's memory is a critical catch in all this; well spotted!I don't think your timeline precludes either Ted being Strike's father or Trevik molesting Leda as a young woman -- or another possibility. Her birth years and years after Ted's suggests that Trevik was not her father, that her mother's death wasn't natural, and that Ted may have been Leda's father via an incestuous relationship with his mum, both victims of Trevik's abuse. Leda's adoption by her grandmother after her mother died may have been to protect her from Trevik or her simply being cast out by him. Incest is a live issue, I think, in the Cornwall household.

Det så kallade perfekta försvinnandet fortsätter kittla fantasin. Och vi behöver de ouppklarade mysterierna, menar historikern Peter K Andersson. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.I berättelserna om Sherlock Holmes är fallen som Dr. Watson inte berättar om, ofta mer tankeväckande än de han faktiskt skildrar. Spänningen och uppfinningsrikedomen i romaner och noveller som Baskervilles hund, Det spräckliga bandet eller De rödhårigas förening är icke att förringa. Men när Watson i förbifarten talar om andra fall som Holmes var inblandad i, fall som vi aldrig får veta några detaljer om, så väcks nyfikenheten på ett helt annat sätt.Det mest kända av dessa odokumenterade fall är onekligen det som kretsade kring jätteråttan från Sumatra, som Holmes i all hast talar om som en historia som ännu inte kan berättas, eftersom världen inte är redo för den. Men bland Holmes okända fall finns också den märkliga historien om aluminiumkryckan, historien om Ricoletti med klumpfoten och hans fasansfulla hustru, gripandet av Wilson, den ökände kanariefågelsdressören, eller kardinal Toscas mystiska död, som Holmes utredde på direkt begäran av påven själv.Bland alla dessa korta omnämnanden, som i vissa fall har blivit lika berömda som de utförligt beskrivna historierna, finns det ett som jag alltid har varit särskilt fascinerad av. I kategorin ouppklarade fall, berättar Watson, finns historien om mr James Phillimore, som gick tillbaka in i sitt hus för att hämta sitt paraply och aldrig mer sågs till i denna världen. Mer än så säger inte Watson om just detta fall, förutom att han nämner att det aldrig fick sin förklaring, och att det hör till de få misslyckandena i Holmes karriär. Uppgifterna är retsamt knapphändiga, men just därför också väldigt kittlande. Vad var det som hände egentligen? Herr Phillimore var uppenbarligen på väg ut, men så ångrade han sig. Troligtvis gjorde han bedömning en att det skulle bli regn, och vände tillbaka in i huset för att hämta ett paraply. Och i samma stund som han gick in genom dörren så försvann han.Den enorma uppsjö av författare som skrivit pastischer på Sherlock Holmes, har sedan årtionden spekulerat i möjligheten att det helt enkelt inte gick att ge en naturlig förklaring till mysteriet, och följaktligen skrivit skildringar av fallet som i olika grad hämtat drag från science fiction-genren. I en av de bättre av dessa pastischer flörtar man med eventualiteten att Phillimore gått rakt in i en vortex, det vill säga ett hål i tidrymden, med förmågan att transportera en människa från en punkt i universum till en annan.Men så fort man tar steget mot en förklaring av James Phillimores försvinnande, så förlorar fallet något av sin lockelse. Det är just det faktum att mysteriet är så plötsligt och oförklarligt, samtidigt som det äger rum i en till synes helt vanlig vardagssituation, medelklassherren som ger sig av till sitt kontor, som gör det så fängslande. För många år sedan talade sociologen Johan Asplund om det perfekta försvinnandet. Ett försvinnande som är spårlöst, ouppklarat och framförallt omotiverat. Helt enkelt försvinnanden där det verkar som om personen i fråga bara har gått upp i rök. Genom hela den moderna historien har populärkulturen och folkloren haft en bestående fascination för sådana händelser. I 1800-talets snabbt växande medielandskap fylldes tidningarna med vilda spekulationer så fort någon framstående person gått under jorden.Ett särskilt talande exempel är den engelske kyrkoherden Benjamin Speke, som plötsligt försvann när han var ute och gjorde ärenden i London en januaridag 1868. Tidningarna tävlade med varandra under en dryg vecka i att komma på olika sätt som han kunde ha tagits av daga på, det ena mer makabert än det andra, innan han plötsligt påträffades igen som kofösare på en bondgård i Cornwall. Han hade helt enkelt iscensatt sitt eget försvinnande, förmodligen trött på sitt nuvarande liv.Samma sak hände som bekant Agatha Christie 1926, då hon gick förlorad efter ett gräl med sin make. Och det här är en typ av mysterier vars dragningskraft är stark även i vår tid. Men hur många av verklighetens fall är perfekta försvinnanden enligt Asplunds kriterier? Vissa av de historier som blivit legendariska är inte lika mystiska när man granskar dem närmare. Det berömda fallet med briggen Mary Celeste, som påträffades drivande omkring i havet vid Azorerna 1872, med besättningen spårlöst försvunnen, är nu för gammalt för att få en lösning. Men de uppgifter som man brukar lyfta fram när historien berättas, att maten stod på bordet fortfarande ljummen, att brasan brann i eldstaden och att loggboken var ifylld en timme innan fartyget hittades, är rena påhitt som tidningarna lade till för att göra det hela mer sensationellt.Samma sak gäller diplomaten Benjamin Bathurst som försvann 1809, när han befann sig på resa i Tyskland. Han och hans betjänt stannade till vid ett värdshus, där hans vagn skulle byta hästar. Innan avfärden inspekterade Bathurst de nya hästarna, medan hans betjänt tittade på. Bathurst gick runt hästspannet till andra sidan och sågs sedan aldrig mer. Asplund tar själv upp det här fallet som ett exempel på hans perfekta försvinnande, men kanske var han för ivrig att hitta ett bra exempel. Det visar sig nämligen, när man fördjupar sig i historien, att Bathursts försvinnande inte var tillnärmelsevis så plötsligt och oförklarligt, som det verkar i den version av händelsen som oftast återberättas.Är dessa perfekta försvinnanden då bara en produkt av fantasin, ett uttryck för något slags märklig önskan hos människorna om att det ska finnas något oförklarligt och mystiskt även i moderniteten? De mysterier ur historien som ännu inte fått sin lösning kommer sannolikt alltid att fängsla efterföljande generationer. Man kan lansera hur trovärdiga teorier som helst om vem som var Jack the Ripper, eller vem som sköt Palme. Men när det har gått en viss tid går inga teorier att slutgiltigt bevisa, och då tar historien, eller snarare mytologin, över.Samtidigt vill vi nog också behålla några av våra mysterier. Medan ett fall som Palmemordet fortfarande kan klassas som ett nationellt trauma, och ett pinsamt nederlag för polisväsendet, kommer det troligtvis att med tiden övergå i den distanserade status som Whitechapel-morden, eller Mary Celeste nu har. Det vore kanske väl cyniskt att säga att vi behöver ouppklarade fall. Jag tror knappast att Jackie Kennedy eller Elizabeth Gustavsdotter, Jack the Rippers tredje offer, skulle hålla med mig. Men de gjuter liv i en fantasi som innefattar någonting större och mer existentiellt. En fantasi som återspeglas i tron på kidnappningar utförda av både älvor och utomjordingar.Men även om denna fantasi är stor och mångfaldig, så har den troligtvis kommit till för att bearbeta en omständighet som är gemensam för alla människor. Det egendomliga faktum att vi finns här på jorden ena dagen, för att nästa dag vara borta.Peter K Anderssonhistoriker och författareProducent: Morris WikströmMusiken är av Hans Zimmer från soundtracket Sherlock Holmes (2009)

In dieser Episode von Zwischen den Panels packen wir den Koffer für eine Reise, die wirklich niemand guten Gewissens einem Reisebüro anvertrauen würde: erst ins neblige Whitechapel mit From Hell, wo Alan Moore und Eddie Campbell zeigen, dass Stadtführungen auch traumatisierend sein können. Danach geht es mit Die Abenteuer von Tim und Struppi und Hergé einmal um die Welt. Zum Abschluss werfen wir uns mit I Hate Fairyland direkt in Fairyland, wo Gertrude beweist, dass Wutmanagement nicht immer die beste Lösung ist.Wir sprechen über Serienmörder, Seefahrerflüche und sehr, sehr viel Comic-Blut. Kurz gesagt: drei Werke, die eindrucksvoll zeigen, dass Comics alles können – von historischer Verschwörung über klassische Abenteuer bis hin zu Märchen mit erhöhtem Axtverbrauch. Eine Folge für alle, die wissen wollen, was Whitechapel-Morde, die Ligne Claire und ein schlecht gelauntes Mädchen in einem grünen Kleid gemeinsam haben. Spoiler: mehr, als man denkt.

Whitechapel Ringers - A Special Light by Tammy Waldrop by First Community Church

Whitechapel Ringers - Standin' in the Need of Prayer African American Spiritualarr. Valerie W. Stephenson (b. 1943) by First Community Church

In 1888, the streets of Whitechapel became the hunting ground for the most infamous killer in history. Five women were murdered, a city descended into panic, and a name written in red ink turned a shadow in the fog into a legend. But the story of Jack the Ripper isn't just about the man who vanished into the East End. It's about the women he killed, the society that failed them, and a mystery that still refuses to stay buried. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Edward Buckley was a violent East End tough whose life unfolded in the same streets and shadows as the Whitechapel murders. Born into a rough, crime-entangled family, he grew up in a world of poverty, street gangs, and routine violence -where assaults, intimidation, and desperation were part of daily life in 1880s London. My guest is Jonathan Tye, author of "Jack the Ripper? Edward Buckley: East End Thug and Gang Member". His book revisits the Whitechapel murders of 1888 and the years around them, bringing the focus back to the neighborhoods where they happened and the kinds of men who lived there. Could Buckley, a local thug with a documented history of brutalizing women, offer a clearer way to understand the events known as the Autumn of Terror?

This week, we step into the foggy streets of Victorian London with Crime Classics, and possibly the most intriguing real-life unsolved mysteries of all time, “Good Evening, My Name Is Jack the Ripper.” John Tefteller, along with researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann biographer Steven C. Smith, takes a closer look at the Whitechapel murders, focusing not just on the crimes, but on the lives of the victims and the fear that gripped the city. Along the way, the discussion highlights the often-overlooked people behind the scenes: sound effects artists, assistant directors, and others who helped create that immersive atmosphere.

TODAY on the GWA Podcast: esteemed art historian Briony Fer on the avant-garde icon, Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The Professor of History of Art at University College London and a Fellow of the British Academy, Briony Fer is one of the leading art historians in the world. Writing and publishing extensively on modern and contemporary art, specialising in the history of abstraction in the 20th century, Fer has curated monumental exhibitions on artists such as Anni Albers at the Tate Modern, Louise Bourgeois at the National Museum, Oslo, Eva Hesse at the Fruitmarket, Mel Bochner at Whitechapel, and more But the reason we are speaking with Fer today is because she has also just curated an exhibition “Sophie Taeuber-Arp: The Rule of Curves” at Hauser & Wirth Paris, and published a stunning book on the great artist, dancer, performer, puppet maker, bag weaver, teacher, stained-glass maker, sculptor, architect, and so much more, Sophie Taeuber-Arp… Born in Switzerland in 1889, Taeuber-Arp is famously associated with the Dada movement, a group of artists who formed post-devastation of World War I to make sense of a nonsensical world. Performing dance routines set to Hugo Ball poetry and turning to her geometric abstractions, full of explosions of colour, that can look equally mechanical as they are made with a human hand – as Fer writes, "diagrammatic and decorative” – Taebuer-Arp was at the forefront of modernism, conjuring new ways of working with form and colour, and exploring – and twisting – the grid, the icon of modern art, for the modern world - and I can't wait to find out more.

Hotellet hadde lydtette rom, hemmelige passasjer, gasskamre og krematorieovner. Holmes inviterte enslige reisende til å bo på hotellet, hvorpå han torturer og drepte dem før han løste opp kroppene deres i syre eller begravde dem i kalkgroper. En teori er at Holmes i 1888 dro på tur til London og dermed ville hatt muligheten til å begå Whitechapel-mordene. Selv om Jack lot sine torturerte ofres kropper ligge fremme for verden å se, gjorde HH Holmes alt han kunne for å skjule sine forbrytelser. Man kan forklare dette som en typisk eskalering av hans modus operandi.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://x.com/serialkillerpod Hosted on Acast.

This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we draw back the velvet curtain to commemorate the U.S. release anniversary of Hammer Horror's 1971 classic, Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, released on April 15th. With scholarly precision and a suitably macabre twinkle, hosts Karen and Greg examine the film's daring reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale—where science, repression, and identity intertwine in true Hammer fashion. Expect thoughtful discussion of the film's performances, atmosphere, gender-bending shock, and its enduring place in the golden age of British horror cinema. Naturally, such an elegant descent into madness demands refreshment. As the clock strikes midnight, our hosts raise a glass to the good doctor with a themed Brandy Old Fashioned cocktail, rich, refined, and just a touch dangerous—much like the film itself. If you are a devotee of Hammer Horror films, classic 1970s horror cinema, or simply relish intelligent conversation steeped in Gothic charm, then join us… because some experiments are far too fascinating to resist. Listen now to Scary Spirits Podcast — where classic horror meets wickedly good spirits. Brandy Old Fashioned • 2 oz brandy• 1/2 oz simple syrup• 3 dashes aromatic bitters• 2 dashes orange bitters• Garnish: orange peel and brandied cherry Instructions: Add brandy, simple syrup, aromatic bitters, and orange bitters to a glass with ice and stir until well chilled. Squeeze the orange peel over the glass and drop it in. Garnish with a brandied cherry. Source: ohlq.com A Brief Synopsis: Blackly comic variation on the classic tale, in which the good doctor, experimenting with ways to prolong life, tests the formula on himself and metamorphoses into a beautiful woman. His alter ego turns out to have a very nasty streak, killing prostitutes who, terrified of Jack the Ripper, believe they have nothing to fear from a woman. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: We learn about the original novella by Robert Louis Stevenson that inspired the film. The history of the White Chapel murders is discussed. Dr. Karen tells us all about the use of Lime in mass burials. Karen gives us stats about the murder rate of men.

This week on The Shiver Show, we take you on a wander down the foggy streets of Victorian London with The Lodger (1948) - a chilling episode from the legendary Suspense series.Set in the working-class district of Whitechapel, fear grips the city as a shadowy killer known only as “The Avenger” stalks the night. Into this atmosphere of dread comes a mysterious new tenant—Mr Sleuth, played (and narrated) by Robert Montgomery. Quiet, intensely religious, and more than a little unsettling, Mr Sleuth arrives with few possessions, a stack of identical suits, and a habit of quoting scripture. Jeanette Nolan delivers a strong performance as Ellen Bunting, the wary landlady, while Peggy Weber plays her step-daughter Daisy, whose naivety adds to the tension. Lucien Moraweck's haunting music underscores this dread tale.Written by Marie Belloc Lowndes, an English author and suffragette, The Lodger is a masterclass in suspense.Thank you for listening!   If you like the show, please share us with your friends and family AND give us a review!

My guest this week is Suzanne Huntington, co editor of Ripperologist Magazine and author of the recently published book "The Thames Torso Murders: Fact or Fiction?" She not only talks about the “Canonical Four” Thames Torso murders and the possible killer (or killers), but she also takes a wider look at Victorian era dismemberment cases in and around London, the challenge of separating fact from long repeated myth, and the ways these crimes have been linked (rightly or wrongly) to the Whitechapel murders and Jack the Ripper. It is a fascinating deep dive into one of the most unsettling murder series of the late 19th century.

🕯️ Pregunta para quien ya lo haya escuchado: ¿Crees que lo que ocurre en el relato es culpa del protagonista… o de algo que ya estaba fuera de su control? «Soy lo que llamarían un alma perdida. Estoy en la esfera más baja. La semana pasada estuve en mi cuerpo, pero encontré la muerte en Whitechapel.» El hechizo del demonio (The Demon Spell) es un relato de terror del escritor escocés Hume Nisbet (1849-1923), publicado en la antología de 1894: La estación embrujada y otras historias (The Haunted Station and Other Stories). El hechizo del demonio, uno de los cuentos de Hume Nisbet más curiosos, nos sitúa en una típica sesión espiritista de fines del siglo XIX, donde se manifiesta el espíritu de una mujer cuya descripción sugiere que fue una de las víctimas de Jack el destripador. ¡¡¡¡¡ESPOILER!!!!! Hume Nisbet está lejos de utilizar la figura de Jack de una manera grotesca, lo cual es lógico si tenemos en cuenta que el relato se escribió seis años después de los asesinatos de Whitechapel. La historia, sencilla pero cargada de una atmósfera siniestra, gira alrededor del espíritu de esta mujer que intenta salvar a la médium de ser la siguiente en la lista del Destripador. El hechizo del demonio comienza con el protagonista [anónimo] asistiendo a una sesión espiritista, y sigue con una experiencia desconcertante con un ser fantasmal que le aconseja rescatar a la médium de un futuro ataque. El hombre corre a su casa, ataca y mata a un «demonio» (?), sin comprobar si la mujer de hecho está bien ni hablar con las personas que se acercan al lugar al oír sus gritos. Por otro lado, el espíritu de la mujer en la sesión asegura llamarse «Polly»., el cual era el apodo de la primera víctima canónica de Jack el destripador [son cinco en total], llamada Mary Ann Nichols. En un nivel simbólico, El hechizo del demonio sugiere que todo lo que ocurre en la historia es consecuencia del ritual espiritista, porque a partir de ahí el protagonista experimenta alucinaciones y/o contactos con espíritus malignos. La descripción del demonio es algo ambigua, se habla de «garras» y «niebla», y no mucho más. Al final, casi nada se explica realmente. El narrador, cuyo nombre no se revela, es escéptico del espiritismo [típico], pero los rasgos de su carácter lo vuelven una presa receptiva. Él mismo asegura que es «fácilmente influenciable» y «extremadamente nervioso». Por otro lado, sostiene que no es «imaginativo por naturaleza ni propenso a la superstición». Parecen términos contradictorios, porque si es «fácilmente influenciable» bien podría ser «propenso a la superstición». Hume Nisbet debe ser el primero en presentar un escéptico influenciable. Supongo que la broma interna del relato reside en el cliché que se convierta en realidad. Quiero decir, la médium, a quien se la describe como «dotada por el cielo», invoca o atrae el alma atormentada de una de las víctimas de Jack el destripador. Esto es equivalente a que Napoleón o Julio César se hagan presentes en la sesión. Sin embargo, aquí el cliché aparentemente se vuelve real. Tal vez lo más interesante es que el relato convierte a Jack el destripador en un demonio. En efecto, Polly, una mujer que ha tenido una vida miserable como «desafortunada» [prostituta] en Whitechapel, narra su asesinato, y sostiene que fue cometido por una entidad demoníaca, aunque esto podría ser una exageración debido a su inmensa crueldad. En cierto momento se dice que Jack tiene un rostro oscuro, marcado por la viruela, este último un rasgo humano, pero después se dice que posee garras. Quizás este Jack fue humano en algún momento y progresivamente se fue convirtiendo en una entidad demoníaca, o quizás nunca fue un asesino mundano. No está claro. En todo caso, es una experiencia distinta a otras participaciones del asesino de Whitechapel, como Atentamente, Jack el Destripador (Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper) de Robert Bloch.

Jack the Ripper terrorized Whitechapel in the fall of 1888, killing at least five prostitutes—the canonical five: Nichols, Chapman, Stride, Eddowes, and Kelly. Brutal murders with throat cuts and surgical mutilations. Police received taunting letters, including the infamous “From Hell” with a piece of kidney, but the killer was never identified. He vanished as suddenly as he appeared. One of history's greatest mysteries.

The "Second Coming" of deathcore isn't just a trend—it's a hostile takeover. As giants like Whitechapel and Lorna Shore redefine the genre's boundaries, Ov Sulfur has emerged as the next definitive force with their sophomore tour-de-force, Endless.

Jack el Destripador fue el apodo dado a un asesino en serie no identificado que asesinó al menos a cinco mujeres en el distrito de Whitechapel en Londres en 1888. Las víctimas eran en su mayoría mujeres pobres, y los crímenes provocaron un miedo generalizado y una intensa atención mediática. A pesar de una gran investigación policial y muchos sospechosos a lo largo de los años, nunca se probó la identidad del asesino. El caso se hizo famoso debido a su misterio, las condiciones sociales del Londres victoriano y el impacto duradero que tuvo en la cobertura de delitos y la cultura popular.

In 1989 after notable releases of Watchmen, The Killing Joke, and wrapping up V for Vendetta , one of the great comic book writers of all time Alan Moore sets to tell another gripping tale based on the Whitechapel murderers during the 1800s around the question: Who is Jack the Ripper? With illustrations of talented Eddie Campbell, this Eisner Winning graphic novel explores circumstances around the time period of when these tragedies occurred, who, or whom could have been involved in the crimes, and an idea of what the world was like in East End of London. Every angle, motive and perspective is explored by a core cast of characters. Alan Moore himself thoroughly researched the historical manuscripts with notes of the Victorian Era, which are included in the collected editions. It is a stunning tale that is recommended for fans of true crime, horror, historical fiction, and fans of this creative team to truly appreciate all that From Hell has to offer. The graphic novel can be read in the hardcover Master Edition with full colors or the black/white tradition paperback copies as well.

Film director, film producer, and screenwriter Mark Jay spoke with "The Shmooze" about his 1993 documentary film "East Endings". "East Endings" documents a night at Bloom's in May 1993—then one of the last remaining kosher restaurants in Whitechapel. Harry Blacker, renowned cartoonist and satirist of British Jewry, arrives to celebrate his 83rd birthday. Greeted by a group of old friends including Anna Tzelniker, Barnet Litvinoff, Bill Fishman, Brian Sewell, Simon Blumenfeld, and Rabbi Lionel Blue, they spend the evening together reminiscing about the Jewish East End of the 1930s: its humor, history, and politics of solidarity. Episode 402 December 16, 2025 Amherst, MA

During the second decade of the twentieth century, an unidentified serial killer was believed to have operated in Atlanta, Georgia, brutally killing at least twenty Black woman. Due to the similarities between the Whitechapel victims and the victims in Atlanta, the Georgia press dubbed their killer “the Atlanta Ripper,” an anonymous monster whose presence held the city's Black population in a grip of fear. For a period of roughly five years, the Atlanta Ripper killed with regularity on the city streets, slashing, mutilating, and otherwise brutalizing the bodies of the women they killed. Despite having at least six viable suspects, investigators were never able to conclusively identify the Atlanta Ripper and the murders remain unsolved.ReferencesAtlanta Constitution . 1912.

Dr. Rachel Lichtenstein, one of the foremost chroniclers of Jewish East London, visited with The Shmooze to talk about A. N. Stencl, a native Yiddish speaker from Poland, who settled in London's East End in 1936 and became an activist and campaigner for the continuation of Yiddish. His extraordinary life spanned the height and demise of contemporary Yiddish culture. Stencl's literary journal, Loshn un lebn (Language and Life), featured his own memoirs, poems, and essays alongside an array of work by other Yiddish writers from around the globe that explored political and literary topics of the time. Rachel's work on Stencl includes a forthcoming book, The Prince of Whitechapel, a website hosting the complete collection Loshn un lebn, and a digital archive on Stencl in collaboration with the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and the Centre for Jewish History in New York, funded by Arcadia.

Depuis plus d'un siècle, l'affaire de Jack l'Éventreur fascine toujours autant. Une nouvelle étude publiée mi-mars prétend confirmer le nom de l'un des plus célèbres meurtriers, analyses ADN à l'appui. La méthodologie des deux chercheurs est très vite contestée. Et l'identité du tueur de Whitechapel de rester un mystère irrésolu.La fascination des scientifiques et des auteur·rice·s pour ce mythique « cold case » interroge. Jusqu'à parfois déranger. Comment est traitée la figure du tueur en série dans la pop culture ? Pourquoi ces histoires reviennent-elles sans cesse dans les journaux, les films et les séries ? Pourquoi se plaît-on à faire des « serial killer » des héros presque romantiques ?Thomas Rozec interroge Patricia Tourancheau, journaliste pour le site Les Jours, et Axel Cadieux, journaliste et auteur d'« Une série de tueurs » aux éditions Capricci.CRÉDITSProgramme B est un podcast de Binge Audio présenté par Thomas Rozec.

**Discussion beings at 5:10**In the fall of 1888, London was a booming metropolis under economic strain due to the massive influx up immigrants and refugees.  Whitechapel, an area in the East End, was an overcrowded neighborhood with poor employment and dire economic conditions.  As a result, many women were forced into casual prostitution to survive - and it was many of these women who fell victim to an unknown serial killer lurking in the dark, shadowed alleyways.  The killer was named "Jack the Ripper", either a self proclaimed nickname or one coined by the press, but beyond that alias the killer's identity remains a secret even 130 years later.  For more than a century, whispers have persisted that the Ripper murders were not the work of a lone madman, but part of a deeper conspiracy.  Theories have pointed to royal cover-ups, Masonic plots, and a police force accused of burying the truth.  This week, as we approach the end of True Crimeber - we are discussing one last British mystery - the story of Jack the Ripper and the conspiracy theories related to his…or her… potential identity.  Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

En plena época victoriana, mientras Jack el Destripador sembraba el terror en Whitechapel, otro asesino actuaba en las sombras. Entre 1887 y 1889, torsos y extremidades de mujeres aparecieron flotando en el Támesis o abandonados en lugares públicos, siempre desmembrados con una precisión escalofriante. Nunca se identificó al responsable de los llamados Asesinatos del Torso del Támesis, una serie de crímenes tan brutales como enigmáticos que quedaron eclipsados por la leyenda del Destripador.
