[@ramblingthroughnature9885]

One good point you raised, was how the regular police patrols allow us to time the murders to minutes. It always had an unfortunate problem, because officers had to walk their route in a very strict amount of time, they would regulate the pace they walked at, giving them a very distinct footstep. It's very likely to my mind, that a local resident could detect the approach of the police by the sound of their footsteps alone, giving the viral seconds needed to calmly walk away. Anyway, fantastic video, subscribed, and look forward to seeing more

[@Priceluked]

That's actually a good point. If the constables had such regulated patterns it is conceivable that they could be precisely timed and avoided.

[@ramblingthroughnature9885]

@@Priceluked The more I think about this case, the more convinced I become that this is a vital piece of information. The regular patrol or "beat" of officers, along certain routes, must have resulted in gaps. There must have been points where for a span of 5 to 10 minutes, there would be no officer in the immediate area. I believe the risks the killer ran, were done in the knowledge that they had vital minutes to make an escape if detected.

[@nivyan]

@@ramblingthroughnature9885 While true, I think this is a point we perceive as much more important or easily overlooked than it is. It would be the case for *anyone* living in London at the time - so anyone from the police would be aware of this during their investigation. I'm not saying you're wrong - it's an important 'feature' of the environment at the time - but the lack of mentioning this during the investigation, is because it was probably considered common knowledge. Like how you don't comment on the fact that people must've been scared during a crime - that's just an assumed fact.

[@7shelties]

This is incredibly well made. It’s as good as any “professional” documentary I have seen and better than most. Looking forward to the rest of it!

[@HistoryNerd808]

I'm not a Ripperologist by any means or even really a huge fan of true crime but after watching the original video awhile back, Charles Cross/Lechmere just seems to me to be the perfect suspect. Being that close to all the victims and being at the scene of the one victim who was the least brutalized? It's circumstantial evidence but if it were a jury trial, I probably would've convicted him.

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

He’s definitely an intriguing suspect.

[@BHuang92]

One of the most likely suspects but sadly, given the scarce evidence and lack of foresight during that time period, we will never know definitely.....

[@HistoryNerd808]

@@BHuang92 Yeah. It's sad that they never caught whoever the evil madman was in a case where modern forensics absolutely would've done so but the fact is that they didn't have the very refined high-tech tools that modern police do. We can guess but we will never be sure who he was as it's unfortunately been lost to time.

[@HolgerLovesMusic]

The only problem is... most of the girls were seen accompanied by a young well dressed man before their demise, not an old well dressed bearded geezer. I also have a theory, we might not only have one "Jack the Ripper". Same as the fake newspaper stories. We might have an imitator. We might deal with two killers. Wouldn't be the first time, a serial killer got copied while he was active. Plus... there is the posability of a duo. Two killers forming a team. One teammate is killing, while the others is the lookout. And they take turns on the killing. Unfortunately, we will never know.

[@xJamesLaughx]

@@HistoryNerd808 I really would not say that it would have caught him with 100% certainty. Even using much more modern forensics and technology of the time no one could capture the Zodiac killer. Just like Jack the Ripper they had suspected people but never enough evidence to prove anything. Even with the tech of today there are still killers and murderers that are never caught or found out who they are simply due to lack of evidence to tie any suspect to the crime directly. Even modern forensics as amazing as it is it still has it's limits.

[@maximustiberius3036]

I'm willing to believe that Tabram was a ripper victim. Strangling a person to death with your bare hands is much more difficult than you would think. He probably tried on Tabram, but realized it took too long. So, he stabbed her repeatedly to shut her up. This left him drenched in blood in the middle of a random neighborhood. He probably brought some sort of ligature or learned a better manual strangulation method for the next murder.

[@professorwhat2704]

I was rather excited the other day when you said you were going to take this on, as I'm fascinated with the case, and part one didn't disappoint. I don't come anywhere near being a ripperologist, and I certainly haven't ever written papers on it, but I've read a decent amount about it over the years, and I feel that Tabram probably was a victim of the Ripper. I understand the doubts, but there's enough similarity to sell me. Two questions for you: 1) Since you've done so much research yourself, do you have any particular books you'd recommend on the subject? 2) As you're into historical gaming, have you ever played the game "Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper?" I don't buy their solution as being accurate, but there were a lot of interesting details in it, and it gave me a lot of stuff to check out after playing it several years ago.

[@juliansj96]

I took the tour when I visited London back in 2019. I gotta say I was totally surprised by how good it was. I went in expecting a poorly told story but it was the complete opposite. I also did the tour late at night so that added to the feeling of the story. 10/10 would recommend

[@scottyoung7414]

Did the same thing in 2015, it was our first night in London and weren’t 100% on using the Underground. Kind of scary getting home that night!

[@kylercummins3445]

The quality of the video, details and animation using the locations/people coming directly from an 1888 map of London, maybe the best documentary I’ve ever seen in terms of factual story telling. Lucky that there’s someone out there that’s willing to put in the time researching and work towards perfecting his craft to put out the highest level of quality for fans/KZbin audience in General.

[@PugnaciousProductions]

@@BHuang92 I guess Bonnie and Clyde can be considered? They did commit a few.

[@okapi7559]

It blows my mind that Jack was never caught. He was one of the first big serial killers in our history and he got away completely, even with all the exposed bodies he left behind and the creepy letters. He vanished, died long ago, and to this day everyone keeps trying to figure out who he was. He's practically a legendary figure in England's history, in my opinion.

[@isiteckaslike]

In England and Wales (NI has something similar to E&W, but Scotland has its own ancient systems of laws), an inquest (like a public enquiry) is always held by a coroner, a crown official position going back to the 11th century, where someone has died in sudden or "unusual" circumstances. It doesn't start with the assumption of guilt somewhere, it looks to see whether any foul play has actually taken place - and if it hasn't then appropriate procedures are followed and if it has then the case will go on to the court system for trial. It's always done publicly to show the people that no "funny business" or cover up is going on by the authorities. It also gives the chance for anyone who has any information about the matter to step forward and give their evidence. Firstly to examine all the evidence and testimony available and to determine whether someone died through natural causes, suicide, accidental death or murder etc. In the last case to determine whether or not someone (even if unidentified) needs to be brought to justice. So, they may come to the conclusion that the death was by "natural causes" or "accidental death" or by "person or persons unknown" (i.e. manslaughter or murder by an unknown assailant) etc. If they determine that death was by "person or persons unknown" (as would be obvious in the Ripper killings) the fact that the coroner's court had determined it as such would then mean that the intention would be then to bring the perpetrator to justice in a full trial, either for manslaughter or murder - however, with the Ripper killings it would be pretty obvious it was murder. This may sound a silly waste of time, but of course especially in the past and even today, especially in cases such as poisonings with things like sleeping drugs etc, it might be quite hard to determine whether or not the person had taken it themself intentionally to kill themself (suicide), accidentally overdosed (death by accidental causes), just died anyway (death by natural causes), or was given it accidentally by someone without meaning to kill them (manslaughter), or someone gave it to them intentionally with the sole purpose of killing them (murder). So the Coroner's inquest is held to determine what has happened, what evidence is available and as a result of that come to the conclusion whether or not anyone needs to be brought to trial.

[@MrBrianholding]

The only thing I would add to this excellent summary is that usually these days, if foul play is strongly suspected, the inquest is usually opened and adjourned until the police have investigated . If the case doesn’t go to a trial then the inquest would at least provide an explanation of what happened. Inquests become important when the reason someone died is contentious. Was it a simple accident or was it due to someone’s negligence for example. Or if someone was murdered but the death could have been prevented if authorities had taken different actions. Very often this happens in terrorist attacks for example. There is often a jury and they ultimately decide what happened. This can mean that the police or others have to open investigations or can be publicly embarrassed and have to review procedures.

[@jimgu2578]

This is a wonderfully well-made documentary, and I was fascinated by it when I watched it earlier. Very happy to revisit this with your commentary on the side.

[@elijahvega5915]

LOVED HIS VID! Glad your reviewing this one. Welcome back bud! 👍

[@Eskimo615]

I really believe that Martha Tabram is definitely a Ripper Victim. In fact I think she was the first. Stabbing is easier than slashing and so I think the killer went with stabbing because it was easier and he was just experiencing the gory aspect of killing someone maybe for the first time. That is why it wasn't his typical MO was because it was fast and he wasn't thinking about it as much. In fact personally I think there is more evidence for Tabram being ripper victim than Elizabeth Stride. That's not to say that I think Stride wasn't a ripper victim I think she was also its just I think there is more evidence for Tabram being a ripper victim than there is Stride. I think that savage stabbing that was done was in the same spirit of the more methodical mutilations that came after. But I'm not an expert on this stuff I just wanted to throw my two cents in from the limited research I've done.

[@coronin8587]

Whilst I agree Tabram is definitely a Ripper victim and that she was perhaps the first, 39 stab wounds is definitely A LOT. "Jack" may have gone after her first as a personal thing, liked it, and continued. Less brutal due to no personal relation, but brutal nonetheless.

[@ArtReviews]

Fantastic video by Lemmino and good insight on top. I did a Ripper walk a few years back, and though I'd recommend it, that part of London has changed so much (for the better) since those days it's hard to imagine what it was like back then. If you do go for one, make sure you end it with a pint at the Ten Bells - a nice pub and one of the few landmarks still standing from back then and almost definitely frequented by many victims and probably Jack himself.

I am not sure about his process, or how many people are working on that channel, but this has to be one of the highest quality productions on the whole platform. It easily outshines most, if not all, KZbin Red channels or series out there.

[@CinemaKnight]

32:55 I think an important detail to note about Annie Chapman and the killer going to that yard in particular is that, according to the inquest deposition of John Davis (a tenant who had recently moved into the place with his family and was the first to discover her body), neither the door looking out to the street nor the door going into the backyard could be locked or firmly shut. He also mentioned that anyone who "knows where the latch on the front door is could open it", so even though it seems like 29 Hanbury St was a private residence with a couple tenants, you again can kinda see the level of poverty and overcrowding in Whitechapel at the time, that no one had yet decided to try and either fix the door locks or even just add them on so complete strangers wouldn't just walk in off the street, which seems to have been a not infrequent occurrence, and what likely happened in the case of the murder.

[@triggeredrevolution9646]

My favorite subject is history

[@MickeySheath]

The fact that they never caught him, despite all the info on him, surprises me. I have heard before that police had an idea of who it may of been, but at the time the guy was in an insane asylum. Some suspected H.H. Holmes but he was proven some time ago that it wasn't him

[@jemma927]

Well we have to remember that this was in a time before a lot of tech was invented and their investigative techniques were limited to whatever was around at the time. For example, one technique was taken photos of their eyes as at the time they thought that the reflection of their eyes, held their final moments and they would be able to get a description of the killer. Not only that but the East end was very populated so it could've been easy for a crime scene to be contaminated or messed with.

[@kingrichardiii6280]

and i recently played Sherlock holmes vs Jack the ripper lol. laughed as he said "that is impossible" when dark annie time of death was mentioned because one of the major puzzles was fixing up the time of death

[@LeechUFC]

Very good analysis, a lot of the biggest mainstream you tubers who cover these events over emphasize small details like Buzzfeed Unsolved emphasizing the surgical ability which takes these theories into one sole direction that ignores other facts

[@Stevenson5]

Ok, so kind of random thought but the way the Ripper always managed to get away just in time makes me think - what if he knew the policemen’s routes and schedules? Could he maybe have been a policemen himself? (Also: personally I always thought he was killed off and that‘s why it stopped)

[@stevephillips6309]

The crimes were committed in the early hours as the chance of being apprehended was much less. I agree that he must have known the police officers' patrols and maybe was shielded as well - especially the Mary Jane Kelly murder. Victims were obviously strangled first and then mutilated once they were dead. That would explain the lack of arterial spray on the murderer.
