 | | Martha Tabram (name sometimes misspelled as Martha Tabran; used the alias Emma Turner; maiden name Martha White), born on May 10, 1849, and killed on August 7, 1888. |
 | | Of the non-canonical Whitechapel murders, Tabram is named most often as another possible Ripper victim, due to the evident lack of obvious motive, the geographical and periodic proximity to the canonical attacks, and the remarkable savagery of the attack. |
 | | The main difficulty with including Tabram lies in the fact that the killer used a different modus operandi (stabbing, rather than slashing the throat and then cutting), but it is now accepted that a killer's modus operandi can change, sometimes quite dramatically. |
