Real-Life Crimes

The attack on Jean Jordan was the Ripper's first murder in Manchester. However, he left a vital clue. Jean had been paid in advance with a brand-new £5 note, which she had put into a secret pocket of her handbag.

On leaving the scene he had forgotten to retrieve the note. which he knew could be traced by the police to the payrolls of two or three companies in Bradford.

This so disturbed Sutcliffe that he returned to the body a week after the murder, but he could not find the money. In a fury the Ripper further mutilated the remains with a piece of glass.
