There are at least five murders attributed to "Jack the Ripper".
- Mary Ann Nichols: The first confirmed victim, murdered on August 31, 1888
- Annie Chapman: Murdered on September 8, 1888
- Elizabeth Stride: Murdered on September 30, 1888
- Catherine Eddoweson: Murdered on September 30, 1888
- Mary Jane Kelly: Murdered on November 9, 1888
Some people believe there were victims prior to August 31, 1888, and after November 9, 1888. That is a discussion for a different day. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the evidence that includes DNA from one of the victims as well as a possible suspect and how working with genealogists led investigators to the only person that could have provided the DNA found on the shawl of Catherine Eddoweson.
