The Atlanta Ripper (A-Z of US States - Georgia)

Between 1911 and 1912, more than a dozen women were murdered on the streets of Atlanta.
All were young, all were Black, and all were killed in a disturbingly similar fashion. Throats slashed, bodies left close to home, personal items untouched.

At the time, police claimed they had no leads. Locals whispered of a serial killer - a theory the authorities were reluctant to accept. As panic grew, women changed their routines, and Black newspapers urged the public to stay alert. But the murders continued. This is the story of the man the press called The Atlanta Ripper - and the women whose lives were lost in a case that remains officially unsolved.
