I think Jack the Ripper was never discovered but I believe he was a respected man in the community or at least someone who wouldn't have raised suspiscion. All the prostitutes went with him with out a question. If they thought this man could possibly be Jack the Ripper they wouldn't have gone with him. He seemed to be a very organised man as I think he knew he was going to kill the woman and how he was going to do it. I believe he planned out every detail.
I believe it is John Williams. Read the book "Uncle Jack", The investigation done by the aurthor, appears more legit than anything else. read and decide for yourselves.
i know who the ripper was ....he was the man between 15 and 70 ,he wore a hat and coat and black shoes and probably had a mo or beard or both . lol oh and he lived locally
i still think jack the ripper was Tumblety he had a history of hating women they found wombs in his house when he died ,his wife was a prostitute and when he found out he was apparently furious and divorced her the only reason he was disscounted as not being JTR was because he was gay
@KusinerneAF the police have been very very huch huch for some reason about this and my brother that lives in NY he said that he have now killed 17 females around 40 they were totaly rippt up and he some times he took some diffrent orgens and 1 time the he revmod her head and they never found it yet.. No one have heard anything from any of the murders even when the lastest female were killed in a backally she was killed around 3 meters from around 8 ppl waiting on the bus thats all i know so far
@VampireWay2129 Walter Sickert had an obsession with the ripper case most likely even sent a fake letter around the time to the police,he's outlandish claims later that he married annie crook and his son who claimed he is the offspring of prince albert, totally obsurd although there is something about mary kelly who i think was the killers intentional target,seems strange that the rippers other victim called herself mary kelly when she was in jail overnight.
Kozminski my ass. If it had been a foreigner the ladies would have been much more cautious. i think the reason they were prepared to trust the customer, despite the fear of the time was because he was an englishman , probably a gentleman. Remember at the time they believed no englishman would do such a thing - thus the women thought with an english gent they would be safe.
To remove organs as he did i believe he had some surgical knowledge and was wealthy- hence no arrest
some say it was a docter and i'v even heard storys that it was a demon wich kinda made me luagh but what i think he or she could have been was perhaps an embalmer they have the tools for this type of gore they know how to dismember a body and also its been proven that back then many of the embalmers were infact mad...then again no one will ever truely find out who it was thats one of the things i love the most about it though its a mystery that will go on for century's to come
What I love is how they never addressed how Kosminski - an insane lunatic and one of the prime suspects - even knew how to medically dismember those women. Is it possible to be a medical savant (lol - kinda joking but not really)
@imacceptingbut exactly schizophrenia and anatomical knowledge are two totally different things i think the motives are different also, the only suspect that was in the area with a M.O and all the other peculiararitys inluding a strong motive is Dr Tumblety but nobody will ever know for certain unless something does turn up out of the blue.
@subsonicsnake I don't agree, because the documentary outlines how limited police were back then. This is 19th century London we're talking about! :) I think what this story really does well is draw attention to the deplorable conditions and desperation rampant in London's East end.
the Kosminski theory actually makes the offer of pardon at one point by the police make more sense...if they were somewhat sure it was this guy they were probably thinking his brother knew or had evidence of his crimes but wasn't turning him in out of fear of prosecution for complicity...that plus the killings stopping once they were "watching" him and the early stand down etc. make a pretty good case...though I'd love to know just what happened to the American doctor who just vanished...
what we should be debating is why we burn plastic men in bonfires that represent a man trying to blow up the house of parliament, because poltical officials were corrupt with greed and spite, and that this man was only trying to rid england of this pure evil, yet we burn representations of Guy fawkes because we despise him...?
in actuality we should get drunk and celebrate how big this man balls were to attempt such a feat, atleast thats what I do on guy fawkes night. er ripper? yes...bad man
@annie10103 oh i get what you mean :) that guy at 1:36 is definitely doing a phil collins impression "but all aid was stood down..." drum roll there too
@Piez345 You'd be lucky to get a wooden butterknife with the salary those prostitutes earned, and even then you'd have to make a choice between buing the knife or getting food with the money. Times were quite different back then.
@BlooperRocs Hello I listened to it and figured it out for you.. "yet it does more unmasking for us a macabre and all to human fasination with evil."
In works of art, macabre (pronounced US: /məˈkɑːb/ mə-kahb, UK: /məˈkɑːbrə/; French: [makabʁ]) is the quality of having a grim or ghastly atmosphere. Macabre works emphasize the details and symbols of death.
after reading through most of these comments, i figured it wouldn't do any harm for me to toss my 2 cents in...to give you a little on my background i'm xx years old, in college studying law enforcement at john jay college for criminal justice. in one of my law enforcement classes, we were taught that murders are pretty straightforward and don't take all this creative thinking that we see on television and the media-
-i forget what exactly the percentage breakdown is but its something like 50% of cases are solved because people inform the police who did it, 2.7% are solved by creative thinking, and the rest are caught red handed.
if murder has such a clear cut percentage breakdown, then why hasn't this case been solved yet? because truth is back in the 1800s the london metropolitan police had just started up and they had NO clue what they were doing.
this case will never be solved, and the fact is that all its really good for is to serve as an example of how badly the police in london were run back then.
Why hasn´t new technological criminology been brought to clarify doubts left uncleared, such as graphology, blood evaluations, virtuality on the cuts, etc. Maybe the myth is a matter of business and no one dares to demolish it. Does anyone know if similar murders been done outside the time (autumn 1888) and space (london, Victorian slums) frame of the Ripper?
@abuealfonso10 I think that so many people have looked for similar killings that they would have been found. There was the possibility of DNA sampling on something but later proved not to be possible. I think if there were proof of who JTR was then it would be revealed.
I'm surprised that no one doing these things seems to bring up William Bury. He left Whitechapel about a month after the Mary Kelly murder and was hanged in Dundee for the murder of his wife (who was killed in a very similar manner to Polly Nichols). According to the Dundee papers, he confessed to the whitechapel murders as well. He matches both the FBI profile and eye-witness descriptions to a tee. I think he easily could have been Jack the Ripper.
@doug1119 Bury is certainly a far better suspect than Kosminski but I think the report in the papers that he confessed to being JTR was denied by the police who said that Bury was afraid he may be accused of these crimes.
I think the most likely known suspect is Joseph Barnett but Bury seems to have some similar features.
@TheJewRegulator The Talmud says nothing of the sort - it is the racist scum who consider that killing others is OK.
One thing is for certain - you won't be able to back up your hatred from genuine Talmudic references although I have no doubt you will find forged references on the hate sites you racists go to.
After Kosminski was locked up in a Secure Mental Institution by his Brother the killings stopped, and even the letters stopped! And most telling of all was the "fact" that the Huge Police Manhunt "Ended Overnight", patrols were cut in half and the police stopped talking to the press about Jack The Ripper! They had their killer, case closed! Remember, the police could Not release any info to this day because no arrest, charges or trial was ever done against Kosminski! It was him, case closed!
@48alfaone The letters did not stop - there is a file with those collected by the police. Mind you I would have been surprised if Kosminski had done much writing to the police - at least in English! After lots more people were locked up the killings stopped - they all can't have been responsible. The police were not doing much talking to the press on Jack the Ripper but the press were talking to the police. This is no evidence that Kosminski was responsible. The case certainly is not closed
@alanheath For the Police to stand down with all the public & private pressure after Kosminski went away, say's 99% they felt it was him. "All" the letters could have come from kooks, or the press them self's to sell more newspapers. I think its most likely Kosminski, case closed.
@48alfaone OK - when in your opinion did Kosminski go away? At the time aid to the police was discontinued, Kosminski was still at home with his brother. I don't believe he could speak English - let alone write it. He was known as a nut and therefore I fail to see how he could have approached prostitutes without raising suspicion.
@alanheath Kosminski was looked after by his Brother who kept close tabs on him starting in Dec. 1888 after the police investigated Kosminski, and would have spoke to his Brother. Kosminski was also followed by undercover police at this same time. Kosminski was then placed in a mental institution in March 1889, 3 months after the last killing. The police stand down was also at this time, when Kosminski was being watched 24 hours per day by police, his Brother and then the mental institution.
@48alfaone@48alfaone As I recall (and cannot check from here) Kosminski was placed in Coney Hatch asylum in 1891 - well over two years after the killings. He was sent there from some workhouse in Bethnal Green, Mile End or Whitechapel. It therefore makes no sense whatsoever to stand the police down with the main suspect free.
Furthermore he was also very thin and poorly - not the strong man JTR would be.
Added to the other things I wrote earlier, Kosminski is a very poor suspect.
@alanheath This documentary, plus the Littlechild letter place Kosminski in a mental institution in early 1889. When he was out, he was controlled by his brother & police 24 hours a day after being investigated. Now, if Not Kosminski, then Who? Who was the suspect in Dec. 1888 that caused the police to stand down? Why did the police stand down under "Huge" public, private, government & royal pressure in late Dec. 1888? As a Retired Paramedic, small weak people with knifes can kill anyone!
@48alfaone On the date of Kosminski's incarceration we will have to agree to disagree. As far as I am aware Kosminski was in a workhouse - which is not guarded in any way. The mental institution which he was put in four years later however was secure. The police would not release the best known murderer in the world to the care of his brother.
Furthermore this does not address the other problems of Kosminski as a 'candidate'.
I think Joseph Barnett is the best bet - others may disagree.
@alanheath I read up on Joseph Barnett, i think he is weak as a suspect compared to Kosminski, but who knows? Unless some "real" police files show up from the period, i think jack is lost to history.
Another thing I don't get about Kosminski as a suspect is why, if the police were in fact watching him, did they not catch him in the act of trying to do something again? Or was he told by his brother he was being watched and that he better watch himself, and Kosminski was sane enough to be scared.
@48alfaone And yet... how is it that he knew about the anatomy of the human body and was able to make such precise cuts? This was not a hackjob, the killer KNEW what he was doing.
My theory is that Kosminski was a coincidence, just as was the disappearances of other suspects. However, I believe that a doctor may have done it, and that the doctor then vanished after a "partner" whom I think may have also contacted the police, killed him, leaving the police with nothing due to the pardon.
Jack the Ripper is a legend, his methods are brutal but he only killed prostitues, to me he was just trying to make the world a better place. and save us from aids.
the ripper was Kosminski and I bet he was helped out by many other people.All the suspects seem kinda likely in different ways.kosminski was the ripper but people like tumblety and many other suspects helped him so he wouldnt get caught.John pitzer probably was also helping jack the ripper and was caught and was released.
There was a serial killer known as 'Jack the Stripper' but he was never caught - although the main suspect is believed to have topped himself. After that the killings stopped.
And maybe Kosminski was Jack the Ripper. After all, really doesn't have to be as fascinating as we think it might been. Personally, I was hoping the Ripper was a sophisticated Victorian doctor with connections to the royal family. :D
Personally I'm not quite sure who to suspect yet; I think that Kosminski, Gull, Tumbltey or even Prince Edward may have been the Ripper. But it is so hard to say, a case from over 112 years ago is difficult to conclude on and with no concrete evidence, we're just chasing whichever lead is the hottest. But you just don't know, maybe we will one day discover the true identity of Jack the Ripper- never say never.
It sounds like - most unfortunately - Jack The Ripper was this Aaron Kosminski. What a disappointment. "Jack The Ripper" one of the most, if not the most notorious serial killing mystery was nothing more than a crazy Jew.

I find it odd that they rule out tumblety and are so focused on kosminski when they both had similarities. They never mentioned in the last video that tumblety hated prostitutes and had a failed marriage with one.
what intruiges me is the so called message that was destroyed the juwes are not the men to be blamed for nothing , why not just say the juwes are to blame, if you were in a hurry youd right the least words possible. i think the words are some kind of code hes teasing the police with. but the police of the day were too thick to see it
In all The Ripper letters, Jack seemed to be a rather cocky person, assuming at least one was true. He didn't seem to think they'd catch him, and I don't think he'd really care if he did. Did Kosminski portray this same attitude? In the drawings they show Kosminski appears very stern, which leads me to believe he wasn't The Ripper.
I wonder if they tried at any time to match the handwriting from all the suspects if such hand writtten documental evidence may still exist somewhere. e.g. Prince edward or the freemason royal doctor. It could prove or disprove if they were Jack the Ripper.
I admit the most likely theory is the freemason royal doctor, prince edward had a unlawfull sexual relationship with a prosteute she got him fatally infected with an STD, the royal doctor then went crazy from seeing what he would have seen as his lifes work, the health of the future king being destroyed and killed as many prostitues as he could.
i believe that jack the ripper was really never discoverd he sat back and watched so many other fall for his crimes and laughed.. he was never discoverd and never will be he left his crimes the way he wanted them a in yoru face here's the evidence come find me :) good luck
the facts of this case to my mind can only bring one conclusion. jack the ripper was sir arthur conan doyle. freemason doctor and leading criminologist of his day . its elementary my dear people, and obvious
man.. that guy wudn't even have visited the site..
he recomended that it can also be a woman.. he wasn't that bright either except his talent for writing he wasn't practicaly good.. he approved sme photos of fairies or a woman with lightning in her hands.. him being jack the ripper is the single dumbest thing i've ever heard..
@geezer732 But, I don't think there was anybody named Doyle who was listed as a suspect...Go to the website, there was 31 suspects, including Kosminski, but no one named Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. If he was a suspect, that doesn't necessarily mean he was the killer. Idk.
@ClawWing He certainly fits the bill better than most other suspects, yes? I'm convinced that it was either Levy or a man by the name of William Henry Bury. Look him up if you've not heard of him. I think him VERY likely.
Some people would like to believe Rizal is suspect. They argue that when Rizal "left London, the Ripper murders stopped. They say that Jack the Ripper must have had some medical training, based on the way his victims were mutilated. Rizal, of course, was a doctor. Jack the Ripper liked women, and so did our own Rizal. And — this is so obvious that many overlooked it — Jose Rizal’s initials match those of Jack the Ripper!" I grabbed this from the Joenel Umal website
It seems very strange that, if the police did know who JTR was, they didn't reveal his/her identity. I say this because the police came under such intense pressure to solve the case. The man in charge of the case had even been forced to resign. It would make sense (I say this without knowing all the facts, of course) for them to name him/her and get the press/politicians/queen of England off their backs. And, of course, allow people in Whitechapel to breathe more freely.
@nitramgnal yes, it doesn't make sense. Maybe the police didn't know who did it, they just called off their enquires when the killings stopped. I cannot believe the police knew who did it & were able to keep it a quiet. Every day information is leeked out of secret reports. The government can't keep anything quiet, things always leak out, after 100 years it would all have leaked. Also where are all the offical documents which prove who did it. I agree that the police didn't know who did it.
Just because Jack was a sexual deviant and a totally fucked up person, doesn't mean all Jews are like that. No need to racially profile anyone. No individual determines no entity. Plus, it's not even proven that he WAS a Jew. Stop with all the racism, people.
@THISPAKIMISS "Even if a crocodile catched and ate a person, it doesn`t mean that all crocodiles do that".
---- This is what you try to tell us. You spread poison. A poison that you have eaten yourself. You live in a lie that individuals doesn`t have characteristics of their origin / race. You have eaten the jewish poison.
--- Jack the Ripper was a jew. Almost every seriakillers, ritual murders are jews. Google "jewish serial killers" "jewish massmurders" ++++++
@Carambasjokk A few of my friends are Jewish, and as I recall, they haven't murdered anyone. In fact, all of them are such nice people. A lot of my friends are Christians as well, and they've beaten the shit out of people for no apparent reason. Does that mean all Christians are hateful, malevolent people? I think not. Google "Christian serial killers", I bet theres plenty. Don't stereotype, 'cause as it turns out, a good 70% of the time, they turn out to be false.
@THISPAKIMISS No. Race decides everything. I understand that you are indoctrinated to believe the opposite, but you and your retarded short circuited ideas are only a small second in the human eternity. You and your selfdestuctive ideas will soon be wiped off the earth as a helpless and useless blunder.
@Carambasjokk LMAO Wow a certain someone's in a lot of denial 8-). It's alright, I know that back in the day it was easy to believe the theory that the white race was the supreme race and nowadays everyone's considered equal, and it's hard for you to accept the truth, but you're gonna be alright LOL. Dude, get your racist mind out of your ass. In no way are we not all equal. We're all capable of doing the same things. No race is above any other, and there's tons of proof for it too.
@THISPAKIMISS Equal??? Hahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahhahhha. Hello in spaaace! Either you are not a human (just a robot), or you must be a subhuman that feels very uncomfortable with the truth and have to belive the latest lies. And, where are the tons of proof.......? (and I don`t mean the tons of shit that coming out of your own ass)
@Carambasjokk LMAO wow, poor you. So knowledge-deprived. I doubt you'd be thinking the same way if you were black. Alright, bud, explain to me how we're NOT all equal and why the white race is above all others, since you're sooooo "human" and soooooo "knowledgeable" LOL.
@THISPAKIMISS Haha. Pulling away already? Why should I explain something to a robot or subhuman, when you have "tons of proof"? Where is the "tons of proof".....?
@Carambasjokk LOOL Oh my God, you're so fucking stupid it's funny. "Robot" or a "subhuman"... you must really live in a cave.. Well, for instance, dear "real human", all of us are alike and are capable of doing the same things.. isn't that proof enough? The only reason the color of our skin is different is because of the different climates of our ancestors... and I don't :) LMAOOOOO
@THISPAKIMISS wrote this in a seizure of pure retardness: "all of us are alike and are capable of doing the same things.. isn't that proof enough?" ----------------------- Hahahahaaa. Nooooo...that isn`t proof enough. In fact it isn`t proof at all. So, again, where is the "tons of proof"...........??!!!!
The only reason he never got caught is because they didnt have fingerprints now and days no one would get away with murder

@BlooperRocs Hello I listened to it and figured it out for you.. "yet it does more unmasking for us a macabre and all to human fasination with evil."
In works of art, macabre (pronounced US: /məˈkɑːb/ mə-kahb, UK: /məˈkɑːbrə/; French: [makabʁ]) is the quality of having a grim or ghastly atmosphere. Macabre works emphasize the details and symbols of death.

-i forget what exactly the percentage breakdown is but its something like 50% of cases are solved because people inform the police who did it, 2.7% are solved by creative thinking, and the rest are caught red handed.
if murder has such a clear cut percentage breakdown, then why hasn't this case been solved yet? because truth is back in the 1800s the london metropolitan police had just started up and they had NO clue what they were doing.

@abuealfonso10 I think that so many people have looked for similar killings that they would have been found. There was the possibility of DNA sampling on something but later proved not to be possible. I think if there were proof of who JTR was then it would be revealed.
alanheath 10 months ago
I'm surprised that no one doing these things seems to bring up William Bury. He left Whitechapel about a month after the Mary Kelly murder and was hanged in Dundee for the murder of his wife (who was killed in a very similar manner to Polly Nichols). According to the Dundee papers, he confessed to the whitechapel murders as well. He matches both the FBI profile and eye-witness descriptions to a tee. I think he easily could have been Jack the Ripper.
doug1119 11 months ago
@doug1119 Bury is certainly a far better suspect than Kosminski but I think the report in the papers that he confessed to being JTR was denied by the police who said that Bury was afraid he may be accused of these crimes.
I think the most likely known suspect is Joseph Barnett but Bury seems to have some similar features.

After Kosminski was locked up in a Secure Mental Institution by his Brother the killings stopped, and even the letters stopped! And most telling of all was the "fact" that the Huge Police Manhunt "Ended Overnight", patrols were cut in half and the police stopped talking to the press about Jack The Ripper! They had their killer, case closed! Remember, the police could Not release any info to this day because no arrest, charges or trial was ever done against Kosminski! It was him, case closed!
48alfaone 11 months ago
@48alfaone The letters did not stop - there is a file with those collected by the police. Mind you I would have been surprised if Kosminski had done much writing to the police - at least in English! After lots more people were locked up the killings stopped - they all can't have been responsible. The police were not doing much talking to the press on Jack the Ripper but the press were talking to the police. This is no evidence that Kosminski was responsible. The case certainly is not closed
alanheath 11 months ago
@alanheath For the Police to stand down with all the public & private pressure after Kosminski went away, say's 99% they felt it was him. "All" the letters could have come from kooks, or the press them self's to sell more newspapers. I think its most likely Kosminski, case closed.
48alfaone 11 months ago
@48alfaone OK - when in your opinion did Kosminski go away? At the time aid to the police was discontinued, Kosminski was still at home with his brother. I don't believe he could speak English - let alone write it. He was known as a nut and therefore I fail to see how he could have approached prostitutes without raising suspicion.
alanheath 11 months ago
@alanheath Kosminski was looked after by his Brother who kept close tabs on him starting in Dec. 1888 after the police investigated Kosminski, and would have spoke to his Brother. Kosminski was also followed by undercover police at this same time. Kosminski was then placed in a mental institution in March 1889, 3 months after the last killing. The police stand down was also at this time, when Kosminski was being watched 24 hours per day by police, his Brother and then the mental institution.
48alfaone 10 months ago
@48alfaone @48alfaone As I recall (and cannot check from here) Kosminski was placed in Coney Hatch asylum in 1891 - well over two years after the killings. He was sent there from some workhouse in Bethnal Green, Mile End or Whitechapel. It therefore makes no sense whatsoever to stand the police down with the main suspect free.
Furthermore he was also very thin and poorly - not the strong man JTR would be.
Added to the other things I wrote earlier, Kosminski is a very poor suspect.
alanheath 10 months ago
@alanheath This documentary, plus the Littlechild letter place Kosminski in a mental institution in early 1889. When he was out, he was controlled by his brother & police 24 hours a day after being investigated. Now, if Not Kosminski, then Who? Who was the suspect in Dec. 1888 that caused the police to stand down? Why did the police stand down under "Huge" public, private, government & royal pressure in late Dec. 1888? As a Retired Paramedic, small weak people with knifes can kill anyone!
48alfaone 10 months ago
@48alfaone On the date of Kosminski's incarceration we will have to agree to disagree. As far as I am aware Kosminski was in a workhouse - which is not guarded in any way. The mental institution which he was put in four years later however was secure. The police would not release the best known murderer in the world to the care of his brother.
Furthermore this does not address the other problems of Kosminski as a 'candidate'.
I think Joseph Barnett is the best bet - others may disagree.
alanheath 10 months ago
@alanheath I read up on Joseph Barnett, i think he is weak as a suspect compared to Kosminski, but who knows? Unless some "real" police files show up from the period, i think jack is lost to history.
48alfaone 10 months ago
@alanheath
Another thing I don't get about Kosminski as a suspect is why, if the police were in fact watching him, did they not catch him in the act of trying to do something again? Or was he told by his brother he was being watched and that he better watch himself, and Kosminski was sane enough to be scared.
infancysguard 10 months ago
@48alfaone And yet... how is it that he knew about the anatomy of the human body and was able to make such precise cuts? This was not a hackjob, the killer KNEW what he was doing.
My theory is that Kosminski was a coincidence, just as was the disappearances of other suspects. However, I believe that a doctor may have done it, and that the doctor then vanished after a "partner" whom I think may have also contacted the police, killed him, leaving the police with nothing due to the pardon.

But it is so hard to say, a case from over 112 years ago is difficult to conclude on and with no concrete evidence, we're just chasing whichever lead is the hottest. But you just don't know, maybe we will one day discover the true identity of Jack the Ripper- never say never.

In all The Ripper letters, Jack seemed to be a rather cocky person, assuming at least one was true. He didn't seem to think they'd catch him, and I don't think he'd really care if he did. Did Kosminski portray this same attitude? In the drawings they show Kosminski appears very stern, which leads me to believe he wasn't The Ripper.

I wonder if they tried at any time to match the handwriting from all the suspects if such hand writtten documental evidence may still exist somewhere. e.g. Prince edward or the freemason royal doctor. It could prove or disprove if they were Jack the Ripper.

I admit the most likely theory is the freemason royal doctor, prince edward had a unlawfull sexual relationship with a prosteute she got him fatally infected with an STD, the royal doctor then went crazy from seeing what he would have seen as his lifes work, the health of the future king being destroyed and killed as many prostitues as he could.

It seems very strange that, if the police did know who JTR was, they didn't reveal his/her identity. I say this because the police came under such intense pressure to solve the case. The man in charge of the case had even been forced to resign. It would make sense (I say this without knowing all the facts, of course) for them to name him/her and get the press/politicians/queen of England off their backs. And, of course, allow people in Whitechapel to breathe more freely.

@nitramgnal yes, it doesn't make sense. Maybe the police didn't know who did it, they just called off their enquires when the killings stopped. I cannot believe the police knew who did it & were able to keep it a quiet. Every day information is leeked out of secret reports. The government can't keep anything quiet, things always leak out, after 100 years it would all have leaked. Also where are all the offical documents which prove who did it. I agree that the police didn't know who did it.
