Jack the Ripper is history’s most famous unsolved murder case. Five victims. Ten weeks. Zero arrests. But in the 1967 Star Trek episode “Wolf in the Fold,” written by Psycho novelist Robert Bloch, the crew of the Enterprise finally closes the case — and the answer is terrifying.
This week on The Prime Detective, we follow Jack the Ripper from the fog of Whitechapel to the pleasure planet of Argelius II, where the Enterprise crew discovers the Ripper isn’t human, isn’t dead, and never stopped killing.
