63. Polly Nichols - The Ripper's First Victim

Mary Ann Nichols, known as Polly to friends, family and the law, was the first canonical victim of the serial killer known as Jack the Ripper. One of many women who would lose their lives in Whitechapel, London, whose existence is known only because she was viciously murdered, it's about time we asked who was Polly and how did she end up slain on the streets of Whitechapel? What circumstances led her here and why oh why was Polly labelled a prostitute?Hosted by Katie Charlwood Part of the Airwave Media Network - www.airwavemedia.comListener Survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwaveWishlistWishlistDonate at: Patreon Tip JarFollow me on…TwitterInstagramTikTokFacebookBusiness Enquiries: katie@whodidwhatnowpod.comLooking to Advertise, Contact: advertising@airwavemedia.comFan Mail:Who Did What Now PodcastWillow Tree FarmDonegalIrelandF94KX64 Learn more about your ad choices.
