About to say that. We all know Jack the Ripper. That name alone will get bums on seats for a film or TV documentary. But now let’s say Annie Chapman the Victim. Everyone will have no clue and maybe some will google it. She was one of Leather Aprons victims the name alone will do nothing for views.

I don’t disagree but the victims are nearly always just normal people with lives no more interesting than you or me. It just wouldn’t make for an interesting movie. Maybe the minutes leading up to the attack. You would still need to do all the back story on the serial killer to flesh it out. So the film maker will most likely just use the serial killer to bring in the views.
