While there is a lot of media coverage of the Whitechapel Murders, this podcast delves into something interesting - the real story behind the lead detective in the 'Jack the Ripper' case - Chief Inspector Frederick Abberline, starting with a visit to his town of birth in Blandford Forum, Dorset to on-loction broadcasts from Whitechapel and Shoreditch

The Detective Diaries podcast series not only examines the true stories behind famous Detectives in history but also provides an insight into the inner workings of a genuine Private Detective agency

Part 2 of the Frederick Abberline story is coming soon and will explore some of his famous cases including the Cleveland Street scandal and the Turkish Bond Robbery
