Jack The Ripper, one of the most infamous criminals in history.
'Saucy Jack' as he was known then as well for the snyde remarks and saucy responses in his letters to the police, was never caught and little is known about this man, and no one knew who he was. According to the authorities then, back in the year of 1888, he was known in Londons white castle are for his murders of his 5 victims.
1. Mary Ann Nicholls
First acknowledged 'Ripper' victim. Savagely attacked across the throat, exposing vertebrae; Repeatedly stabbed at the stomach; Little publicity.
2. Annie Chapman
Bodily organs removed from victims abdomen. The media 'awakens' to the series of atrocities being committed in the East End.
3. Elizabeth Stride
The attacker is interrupted in his mutilation of the Swedish prostitute, and fails in the attempt to remove her ear.
4. Catharine Eddowes
To recompense the failed expedition earlier on, the 'Ripper' resumes his gruesome work on Eddowes. Later examination reveals a kidney is missing. This soon reappears...
5. Mary Jeanette Kelly
Just as the panic created by the 'Ripper' begins to die, the killer performs the most brutal of all his murders, taking several hours to finish the dismemberment. The victim is later discovered to be pregnant.
All the victims, oddly enough as it is now as it was then, were all prostitutes. There 7 suspects and one other idea about who Jack the Ripper was.
1. Montague John Druitt
A failed lawyer whose body was found in the River Thames in December 1888. This coincided with the sudden end of the savage murders.
2. Severin Klosowski
A Polish immigrant who changed his name to George Chapman upon his arrival to London, and deserving a sub-section all for himself (wife poisoner), he was labelled (But later retracted) as being Jack the Ripper when arrested by Frederick Abberline (in charge of the Ripper atrocities at the time). It is exceptionally unusual for a murderer to change so swiftly his method of killing, and is more likely that in desperation to pin the murders on someone, Klosowski fit the bill.
3. Dr. Roslyn D'Onston Stephenson
An author and magician who preferred to keep his own activities to himself, has been labelled as the murderer by theorising that the murders were committed as part of some secret initiation/ritual process (5 murders ties in with the belief that the pentagram symbol can be used to channel power to individuals). This belief may have faded over time were it not for Stephenson 'disappearing' sometime in 1904.
4. HRH Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence
Scandal has always been welcome at the expense of royalty, which is exactly what happened to Queen Victoria's grandson and the spate of East End murders. It has been suggested that Prince Albert, directly or indirectly, had knowledge of who was involved in the murders. Others who may have been instigators of the murders themselves include Sir William Gull (the royal physician), Walter Sickert (An artist) and John Netley (A royal coachman in service). The murders were apparently committed to prevent any 'loose ends' involving a Prince's indiscretion, an illegitimate child and future blackmail attempts. If this is so, why then did five women die if only one was required to be eliminated, of which the identity was known? and why were they killed so gruesomely?
5. James Kenneth Stephen
Directly linked to Prince Albert by way of being his tutor at Cambridge, it has been claimed he was the murderer due to his homosexuality culminating into a pathological hatred of women in general. If this is so, why didn't he kill any female that he saw, instead of merely confining his murders to the East End?
6. Dr. Thomas Neil Cream
A serial-killer himself (lady poisoner both abroad and in Europe), his link with the 'Ripper' legacy is that he blurted out "I am jack..." just as he was hanged. The fact that he was incarcerated on American soil at the time hasn't diminished the link.
7. James Maybrick
Perhaps being one of the most important developments to arise from continued Whitechapel investigations was the surfacing of the infamous "Jack the Ripper Diary" in which the self-confessions of the purported murderer are laid out in an almost enigmatic fashion, with pages torn out and passages scribbled out. Unfortunately, instead of the laying to rest one of the most intriguing cases in human history, equal amounts of scorn and ridicule from sceptics matches the proponents of the diary, firmly believing in the authenticity of the document.
One other theory is that Jack the Ripper was a woman. then wouldnt it be some thing like Jill, Jane, Julie the Ripper, or Mad Midwife?
The most noteable thing about all this are his letters which coinciced with the murders he/she commited. there were 5 or 6 letters, of which had this on it:
Eight little whores, with no hope of heaven,
Gladstone may save one, then there'll be seven.
Seven little whores beggin for a shilling,
One stays in Henage Court, then there's a killing.
Six little whores, glad to be alive,
One sidles up to Jack, then there are five.
Four and whore rhyme aright,
So do three and me,
I'll set the town alight
Ere there are two.
Two little whores, shivering with fright,
Seek a cosy doorway in the middle of the night.
Jack's knife flashes, then there's but one,
And the last one's the ripest for Jack's idea of fun.
The last one mentioned was Mary Jeanette Kelly, whom he burtally mutalated and dismembered and cut into peices.
His weapon was thought to be a dagger that was sturdy enough to cut human flesh and through muscle, but flimsy enough to bend slightly so he could maneuver it easily.
He also supposedly lived on Prince William Street. which was some where around the murders. The map of the area I have is incomplete so it doesnt show Prince William Street.
BUT, since no one knows who Jack the Ripper was, it seems illogical that he would have died and not had any kids, he could have been married for all we know. The real Mystery is why he did it.
