This Day in History...

September 27, 1888 - The name 'Jack the Ripper' is used for the first time in an anonymous letter to the Central News Agency. He went on to kill five women, and it's believed he may have been responsible for the deaths of four more. The identity of this man has never been discovered and there have been many speculations as to who he really was (there was even a rumor that it was really Queen Victoria's oldest son!).
