    IN THIS EPISODE: The fog-shrouded streets of Victorian England – where gaslit alleys concealed dark secrets and justice often remained elusive. From the gruesome "Shakespeare" murder that had London wondering if Jack the Ripper had crossed the Atlantic, to dismembered bodies scattered along the Thames, to high society poisonings that scandalized the nation, the Boxing Day slaughter of the Murphy siblings, the Christmas Eve killing of actress Harriet Buswell, the strange death of Charles Bravo that exposed a scandalous love triangle, and more. In an era of rudimentary forensics and primitive police work, these murderers vanished into history, leaving behind only questions and theories. These crimes from the 1800s remain unsolved today – just as they were over a century ago.
