question: Whitechapel is a series that depicted a killer who was copying the actions of which unidentified serial killer?
answer: Jack the Ripper
context: Title: Texarkana Moonlight Murders
  Passage: The Texarkana Moonlight Murders, a term coined by the news media, references the unsolved murders committed in and around Texarkana in the spring of 1946 by an unidentified serial killer known as the "Phantom Killer", or "Phantom Slayer".  The killer is credited with attacking eight people within ten weeks, five of whom were killed.  The attacks happened on weekends between February 22, 1946 and May 3, 1946.  The first two victims, Jimmy Hollis and Mary Larey, survived.  Some police officers are not sure if their attack was connected with the murders.  The first double murder, which involved Richard Griffin and Polly Ann Moore, happened four weeks later.  The second double-homicide, involving Paul Martin and Betty Jo Booker, occurred exactly three weeks from the first murders.  The Texas Rangers came in to investigate, including the famous M. T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas.  Finally, almost exactly three weeks later, Virgil Starks was killed and his wife, Katie, was severely wounded.  Most officials no longer connect that attack to the other murders.  Contrary to popular belief, the killer did not attack during a full moon, but did strike late at night.
  Title: Jack the Ripper
  Passage: Jack the Ripper is the best-known name for an unidentified serial killer generally believed to have been active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888.  The name "Jack the Ripper" originated in a letter written by someone claiming to be the murderer that was disseminated in the media.  The letter is widely believed to have been a hoax and may have been written by journalists in an attempt to heighten interest in the story and increase their newspapers' circulation.  In both the criminal case files and contemporary journalistic accounts, the killer was called "the Whitechapel Murderer" and "Leather Apron".
