I saw a show just the other day where people were using geographic profiling. It was very well done. I'm convinced that the ripper lived on flower and dean street. The police even did searches there, He probably became afriad that they were going to close in on him.
Its often presumed that serial killers stick to one modus operandi and therefore for instance, a poisoner couldn't be a 'ripper' and so on. But I see no reason why this would have to be a concrete fact. There is always a first time and would certainly mislead the police- just some conjecture.
cont; not taken seriously by the authorities at the time but a number of factors 'may' make him questionable- he lived in the exact vicinity of several murders and 'interfered' with one of the bodies despite being told not to among other things. More light on this suspect may lead to more analysis. Another issue I have considered is the presumption that the thousands of letters dismissed by the Met 'were' hoaxes- it may well be that a genuine letter (and therefore key evidence) was discarded.
I was thinking of this last night and read a bit about how killers like to leave clues. I think it is now accepted that the Dear Boss, JTR letters etc came out of the Central News agency but maybe there is one or two that are genuine.
The files can still be seen with those letters that have survived and maybe some enterprising publisher could make copies of them!
I recommend people look at the online 'Casebook; Jack the Ripper' site- its very comprehensive and offers angles, views and facts on just about every aspect of the Whitechapel Murders- even details on contempory press reports.
I second that opinion. I found it recently and it is really very good.
There is also someone backing up my opinion - but as it turns out it was not my opinion at all because someone else thought of it first in 1982 - I did not know about it.... honest...
yes, its quite easy to miss because its at the darkened entrance end. I think there used to be similiar 'stencils' at all the sites but I visited the Liz Stride site on Henriques St in 2008 and it wasn't there.
Interesting as always, Alan ! I talked to a very old man who lived more than 80 years in Whitechapel. He had some stories to tell ... He said that at the time of the murders, the area was so dangerous and full of vicious muggers that a fellow dressed like Sherlock Holmes wouldn't survive 5 minutes ...
This is a very good point. Some of the eyewitnesses alleged Sherlock Holmes look alikes .... clearly so they could sell their stories to the newspapers!
Has Ten Bells been renamed? Iwould think keeping the original name would be quite profitable as the Ripper walks {it would seem to me} would bring in crowds. I aslo, would be very interested in your theory as to the Ripper's identy. Thanks for the vid, especially the London ones.
alanheath Yes indeed not very pleasant at all. Of course what he did to Mary Kelly was far worst. I have my own opinon on who the ripper could have been.
And that is surely the clue to what it was all about! See my videos the London of Jack the Ripper. I am even more confident of what is suggested there today than I was 2.5 years ago when I made those two videos.
I agree Barnett is a 'heavyweight' suspect though one factor I struggle with is the connection of the 'canonical 5' and other victims. Catherine Eddowes and Martha Tabram attended the same lodgings as Mary Kelly but as far as I know Chapman, Nichols and Stride had no connection to one another- not surprising given that there were an est. 1,500 ladies of the night in Whitechapel alone. It may be that the Kelly murder was a particularly vicious domestic case with no connection cont;
cont; to the killer of the other women. The number of mysteries around the Dorset St murder alone is astounding- not least the fact that there is not 100% certainty that Mary Kelly even was the victim-one theory suggests she exploited the murder of her sub-lodger to fake her own death and escape from the burden of debt. That morning was the Lord Mayor's Show and so there was much distraction. Recently a new suspect has been added; a mortuary assistant (whose name I forget)- he was cont;
the background sound adds the creepyness the " screams"

Too many people are wedded to Macnaghton's canonical five. I think that Martha Tabram was a Ripper victim.

@091053JG I don't think so although I believe the Tabram killing may have influenced the other five (or four?) However you may be right.

Jack must have lived in anyone of the three evil streets of Spitalfields - Thrawl Street, Flower and Dean Street and Dorset Street.

@091053JG I would agree with that assumption.

@HellFireKane I think it was more likely Dorset Street - but who knows - it could have been Flower and Dean Street!

Even though it has changed greatly since 1888, Mitre Square at night still has a creepy and chilling atmosphere about it.

Are they in the Scotland Yard Black Museum do you know?
As a side note, I saw a very interesting and seemingly well researched documentary on Francis Tumblety as a suspect a few days ago.
WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 1 year ago
They are in the public record office. There is also material in the archives of the City of London police - speaking off the top of my memory.
There are some very good documentaries here. The best I think is on the Diary of JTR - a hoax but a very good documentary!

The Ten Bells is called the ... Ten Bells again. It is playing down its Jack the Ripper credentials.
I think it is in my film the London of Jack the Ripper which I filmed in July 2007. If not I will have to film it next time.

Yah iv seen your jack the ripper videos very intresting. So you said it was the person who found Mary Kelly's body was in fact the Killer.
RMSTitanic87 2 years ago
In my opinion the killer was Mary Kelly's former boyfriend.
Her body was found by the landlord's agent on the morning of 9 November 1888 when he came to collect the rent.
