On October 16, 1888, a Whitechapel neighborhood watch group received a letter addressed "From Hell" which chillingly described a murder. Even more chillingly, the letter came with what appeared to be a piece of a human kidney preserved in spirits. The macabre note was unsigned, but the police had a good idea of who could have sent it. And they had a good idea of who the kidney may have once belonged to: a woman named Catherine Eddowes.
