episode Jack The Ripper cover

Description

This week, we cover the terrifying case of Jack The Ripper. The Whitechapel district in the slum of London, Jack the Ripper claimed a total of five victims; these would later be referred to as the 'conical' five. Throughout the late months of 1888, prositutes were being brutally murdered left and right. Each of the victims were found with their throats slashed and a lot of damage done to their body parts. Nearly a hundred thirty five years later, the mystery remains unsolved. There are a few solid leads, but none of which have really had the answers that Ripperologists have been dying to know; Who was Jack the Ripper? And why did he murder five women?

"I'm the daughter of a murdered woman." Stephanie Wasilishin {Reupload}

"I'm the daughter of the murdered woman," Nikkie Wasilishin refers to herself whenever uploading a TIkTok video. Thirty years ago, Nikkie's mother, Stephanie, died after a fight with her boyfriend at the time. After reviewing information from the news station, discussions with Nikkie herself, Elana and Makenna dive deep into the story of Stephanie.  It is mentioned in the episode that there is a petition floating around that Nikkie is trying to get 15,000 signatures on. The link for this petition is https://www.change.org/p/demand-a-complete-homicide-investigation-for-the-murder-of-stephanie-marie-wasilishin . . . Help us in the fight to get Stephanie's case reopened and justice for Nikkie and her family.

Axeman of New Orleans

In this episode, Makenna {myself} covers the terrifying series of murders and attacks that have been credited to The Axeman. While only striking at night while people slept, the Axeman was said to be responsible for 12 attacks and 6 killings. In a chilling fashion, the Axeman would only ever use what he could find on hand, usually an ax, which was then left at the scene of the crime. Nothing was ever heard or seen and there was hardly any evidence found. During this case, Makenna also clears up some potenital confusion from her last epiosde on the Villscia Ax Murders, where she stated that she thought these happened around the same time as the Axeman. (She was wrong, but there is evidence stating that the Axeman could have been active as early in 1911.)
