silly comment..the 1888 you had no choice but to be a prostitute as there was no other option to make ends meat...nowadays there are plenty decent jobs you can get. of course prostitutes are looked down on now.

[Rikitocker]

5 generations of my family lived in the East End going back to the 1600's - Whitechapel, Mile End, Tower Hamlets, Stepney, Hackney ... all these area's were extremely poor ... saddest thing it that the real East Enders are being pushed out now by immigration.

[footballgeorgiebest]

Though the film ' From Hell ' was quite average the detailed sets of a recreated Whitechapel should have been saved and sold to this Docklands exhibition.

there is a theory about the reall suspects in the book FREEMASONRY World Oldest Secret Society. the theory is that he was freemason,he or they killed all of those prostitute,because the king was getting prostitute pregnant and word was spreading. so they killed everyone that knew the truth. TRUTH HURTS

Fantastic photos of the era. Terrible time and place to be poor. Check out the small video of James Mason going to 29 Hanbury St in 1967 before it's demolition: chilling.

Polly could not have been the first a serial killer does not go from nothing to murder they start with assaults and work their way up to murder.

[STEPHENWRAYSFORD33]

Jack London wrote a good book about Whitechapel and poverty.

Yes! Intellectually curious people have no business exploring life's great mysteries... Money and time could be better spent on the telly tax to watch sit coms.

[BBblue87]

It really annoys me when people say "such and such was the murderer" like anyone could actually know for sure. There are probably hundreds of viable suspects, but none of them will ever be proven. and I agree that it should stay that way, what's the point in spending time and money on it now? It's just one of life's great mysteries.

[BCKLW]

I tend to agree that the murders will never be solved but you never know. In 1995 a new suspect was uncovered. The discovery of Dr. Tumblety is an example of the kind of investigation that is going on today. Who knows if anyone will ever solve the case but who knows.

[tokyoteam]

It is better if the truth would remain unknown.

Jack the Ripper is sort of a legend in London.

why should humans ruin it?

He lied and died unknown,let it stay like this.

Life would be rather boring if all the legends and mysteries would be solved ;)

[Speegs23]

Its REAL not a Hollywood escapist film, no one should get away with murder.

[tokyoteam]

That person is DEAD.He got his punishment already.

People should worry about murders that are happening right now at this time not trying to find out who was Jack the Chopper/Ripper.

[WonderStar83]

@tokyoteam I agree that people should worry more about murders that are happening now and I hope the police or whoever do. For historical interest and jus for the sheer annoyance that Jack the Ripper outwitted the law, I think its good they are still doin research on finding out who the brutal murderer was. I know for a fact if it was one of my ancestors who were murdered in such a brutal way I would want to see the face of the murderer!!

[MCGRAW5587]

Dr. Francis Tumblety was Jack the Ripper. An American Doctor who was in Whitechapel at the time of the murders and they stopped when he left for the states.

[b1gd08]

Ther is no evidence on who Jack the Ripper was..to this day, the case is still unsolved. There are no facts...only opinions based off suspicions.

[Kitsune44X]

There are plenty of facts, there's plenty of evidence, but it's always a question of whether or not it amounts to a clear or justifiable answer (without reasonable doubt). In this particular case, such doesn't seem to be the case and, naturally, the case isn't considered "solved." Not *altogether* unusual for Whitechapel district at the time of the murders, although to say that crime was rampant and uncontrollable would be a mistake.

[bunterx]

that proves nothing - there were over 100,000 people living in whitechapel 1888. Dr Pedachenko - a russian "barber/surgeon" also disappeared after the murders too and was caught red handed murdering another woman in russia soon afterwards. There is no evidence against him either. the police hadnt got a clue. Only abberline was possibly onto something - he suspected a russian "surgeon" but confused him with severin klosowski/george chapman and so was tailing the wrong man.

A journalist admitted to creating the name 'Jack the Ripper'

[wellycolchester12345]

james maybrick is a good suspect 4 me

[TheLadyMaul]

I believe you actually mean James Maybrick, the little cotton merchant who was as likely Jack the Ripper as Mary Kelly was to have been a dreadfully determined suicide... (James Maverick is Bret's cousin.)

[vuurvliegie]

For all who are intrested in J R doc and his, please The Diaries of Jack the Ripper. Watch all from 1 - 8, it really makes sense. I first had Aaron Kasp???(someting?) as the killer but it is without a doubt James Maverick. Very good presented and thorouly investigated by experts. James Maverick = JA( firs letters of name) + CK ( last letters of surname) = Jack....WATCH THE VIDS. :-)

[RiverBirch1967]

I wonder how it feels today to live in the actual areas of the murders... sometimes the precise spot?

[whathefcukisthis]

@RiverBirch1967

the area is now very expensive.and very trendy .You have to use your imagination to get close to 1888.....

[RiverBirch1967]

@whathefcukisthis That is sad. I mean, they should a museum there somewhere about it, in the midst of all the swanky.

[RiverBirch1967]

Thank you for posting this. I was hoping that you would.
