The murders were originally called the Whitechapel murders because of the area they were committed in. It wasn't until this first letter was released to the press that the murderer was then named Jack the Ripper, because that's what the first letter was signed as. It is still controversial whether or not this was actually written by Jack the Ripper or by newspaper to get more readers.
