gather round amateur detectives and
aspiring forensic pathologists welcome
to watchmojo.com the myriad mysteries
and inaccuracies which surround one of
history’s most well known serial killers
Jack the Ripper to count down the most
intriguing facts about the case Jack the
Ripper was of course the name attributed
by the media to an individual thought
responsible for a string of murders
within london’s Whitechapel district
between the summer and autumn months of
1888 the Ripper was never caught and his
identity remains unknown to this day I
like darlin lack a bit of fan number
five prostitutes were Jack the Ripper’s
victim of choice
serial killers tend to fall into
patterns this was no different with the
Ripper case back in the 19th century the
five victims most often associated with
Jack were all women in their 30s or 40s
with the history of prostitution these
attacks were all grotesquely violent
featuring slash or slit throats and
multiple puncture wounds along the
pelvic area or abdomen while organs such
as the kidney or uterus were
occasionally removed from the body the
Ripper also seemed to know the police
schedule and his surroundings quite well
taking his victims to secluded areas
primarily on weekends or bank holidays
this latter fact seems to infer that the
Ripper probably had a job of his own and
belonged to the lower middle-class
residents of Whitechapel proper number
four many anonymous individuals claimed
to be Jack the Ripper can you tell me
about the letters I showed the one side
Jack the Ripper to the police of the
hundreds eight examined this one ranked
the most true Ripper ologists is the
term given to those who try to uncover
the secrets behind the crimes of Jack
the Ripper but they’re not the only ones
who were obsessed with the cases
gruesome details there were actually
over 700 pieces of mail sent to the
media and police from those claiming to
be Jack the Ripper in fact the very name
which we so closely associate with the
crimes derives from one of these
missives the vast majority were
dismissed as hoaxes but there are two
particularly interesting letters sent
during this time one is the dear boss
letter signed
the Ripper it warned that victims ears
would be sliced off a threat which
attracted attention when a victim was
indeed found with an earlobe missing
meanwhile the from Hell letter does not
use the Ripper moniker and was delivered
with half a kidney to George Lusk of the
Whitechapel vigilance committee which
one if any are the real deal only the
Ripper knows for sure I send you off the
kidney I took from ruble and preserved
for you t’other piece I fried and ate it
was very nice number three some blame
Lewis Carroll have you any idea why a
raven is like a writing desk if you
haven’t guessed by now there’s a lot of
hearsay and theories about who’s behind
the Ripper killings of 1888 seems like
everyone living in or around Whitechapel
or London without an alibi has been
suspected case in point English author
Lewis Carroll yes he who created the
legendary Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland and through the looking-glass
Carroll’s accusation came from a 1996
book by Richard Wallace titled Jack the
Ripper light-hearted friend which
claimed that one could rearrange some of
Carroll’s works into anagrams which
described the author’s involvement in
the case in reality just about anything
can be turned into an anagram and so
most Ripper ologists place Lewis Carroll
at the very bottom of possible Ripper
suspects the whole theory is basically
Jabberwocky
number two the doctor didn’t do it
it’s true these murders of the work of a
madman but a madman with certain medical
skills considerable intelligence and
education skills intelligence education
this of course from hell was a popular
Alan Moore graphic novel and subsequent
Hughes Brothers film based on the Ripper
murders the main source material behind
this fictionalized account of the Ripper
is the 1976 book published by Steven
Knight titled Jack the Ripper the Final
Solution nights Theory places Queen
Victoria’s physician dr. William gull at
the center of conspiracy which involves
British aristocracy and the Freemasons
in a story which however fantastic has
multiple holes in it not the least of
which is the fact that dr. gull was 71
and recovering from a stroke at the time
of the murder
yes these days I limit myself to
teaching as early as 1895 newspapers
were linking him to the murders this
speculation should come as no surprise
however as it was these same newspapers
which perpetuated the image so many of
us associate today with Jack the Ripper
that of a well-dressed gentleman in a
top hat and cloak most Ripper ologists
on the other hand agree he was more
likely a low-income working-class
individual apparently the Ripper has
struck again
number one history’s classic cold case
might warm up the idea of new evidence
emerging in a hundred plus year old case
may seem unlikely but this was exactly
what happened in 1993 when a police
letter dated from 1913 was put up for
sale in a British antique store this
message from a detective John little
child placed as a suspect one Frances
Tumblety
a noted quack and charlatan with a
history of misogyny and criminal
behavior modern census information also
happens to place him in the Whitechapel
area during the murder spree while his
profession could tie into the surgical
angle of the rippers organ removal
before he cut her throat he removed her
livelihood
although many important legal documents
were lost when Germany blitz Britain
with bombing attacks during World War
two the discovery of the little child
letter along with the fact that a lot of
data from the period is now available
digitally provides hope that the mystery
of Jack the Ripper may be solved once
and for all
mankind has not changed for two thousand
years we hunt were hunted that’s how it
is that’s how she’ll always be the
future will prove you wrong
so do you think you know who slashed
their way through the nightmares of
Britain’s East End and into the history
books for more freemason conspiracy top
tens and organs in jars top fives be
