Bookshop Interview with Author George R. Dekle, Sr. (Episode #138)

1/19/2022

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author George R. Dekle, Sr. discusses his latest true-crime book, The East River Ripper: The Mysterious 1891 Murder of Old Shakespeare. Shortly after Jack the Ripper terrorized London, New York City had its own Ripper-like murder. The death involved was that of Carrie Brown, a prostitute who went by the name of Old Shakespeare. The police arrested a suspect, but much controversy surrounded the investigation, arrest and trial. Did the police arrest the right person? And if not, who did commit the murder? Was it really Jack the Ripper? While issues such as false convictions, fake news, illegal immigration, police corruption and racial prejudice plague our justice system today, they were also present back in 1891. In this new book, George details how such issues affected whether and to what extent justice was served. In this episode, I’ll chat with George about his writing journey, what would have been done differently if the East River Ripper case happened today, and whether he thinks the police and prosecutors got it right.
