Episode 257: In Victoria, B.C., on the rainy evening of Friday, September 29, 1899, on her way home from work alone, forty-four-year-old Agnes Bings walked across a railroad bridge, cutting through the Songhees Reserve as she did every other night without incident. This night, however, would be her last. Someone took her life somewhere during the 20-minute walk between her bakery on Store Street and the Bings family home on Russell Street. The next morning, Agnes Bing\u2019s body was discovered. She\u2019d been strangled, and her body mutilated. Her slaying has never been solved, although there have been a few suspects, interestingly including the world\u2019s most famous serial killer, Jack the Ripper, whose 1888 crimes also remain unsolved.\nSources:\nHISTORY OF DOWNTOWN VICTORIA | LIVE SITE\nHome | Victoria\nCanada\u2019s Jack the Ripper\nPinkerton\u2019s National Detective Agency Records Relating To The Murder of Agnes Bings | PDF\nHistorical police records give a glimpse into Victoria\u2019s seamier side | Times Colonist\nThe British Colonist 1858-1961\nAgnes Bings (1855-1899) - Find a Grave Memorial\nMurder & Mutilation In Victoria - Jack The Ripper Forums - Ripperology For The 21st Century\nUnlocking the Dark Secrets of Victoria - Monday Magazine\nCoroner Inquests in BC around the time of Agnes Bings\u2019 Murder\nSeeing Dead People E23 \u2014 Mrs. Bings Meets a Madman\nThe History of Garrick\u2019s Head Pub | Victoria, BC, Canada\nLearn more about your ad choices.
