Pub. Date 9/6/2021) On April 24th, 1891, a Bowery prostitute named Carrie Brown (known locally as \"Old Shakespeare\") was found murdered and mutilated in the seedy East River Hotel. With the Jack the Ripper murders unsolved and still news, many believed that the notorious killer had traveled across the Atlantic to continue his bloody work in the United States - and this was his first victim. My guest is George R. Dekle Sr., former Florida prosecutor and author of the new book \"The East River Ripper: The Mysterious 1891 Murder of Old Shakespeare\". He talks about this sensational case, including the arrest and trial of the enigmatic Ameer Ben Ali, better known as \"Frenchy\", and offers his thoughts on who really murdered Carrie Brown.
