Catherine Eddowes (14 April 1842 – 30 September 1888) was one of the victims in the Whitechapel murders.
She was the second person killed in the early hours of Sunday 30 September 1888, a night which already had seen the murder of Elizabeth Stride less than an hour earlier.
These two murders are commonly referred to as the "double event" and have been attributed to an unidentified serial killer known as Jack the Ripper.Part of a left kidney was later sent to the Vigiliance Committee with a "catch me if you can" letter, which claimed it was from Eddowes.
Most experts, however, were not convinced that the sample was actually one taken from Eddowes.
