On August 4th, 2014, a researcher at the British National Archives came across a sealed envelope entitled \u201cThe Leather Apron.\u201d It had not been opened in over 125 years. The envelope contained many elements of a closed investigation into the famous Jack the Ripper case. Among the items was the written testimony of the twenty-one-year-old son of Mary Ann \u201cPolly\u201d Nichols, the woman considered by many to be the first official victim of Jack the Ripper. | Copyright 2016 by G.
