"Charles Cross" - not his real name - is by far the most likely candidate. The guy was found at the scene, having "discovered" the body, just moments after a murder occured, gave a false name to police, and tried to give them the slip. He also lived in and around the area where the murders took place; his route to work took him right through some of those very places. He also used to live right in the epicentre of the suspected area where the murderer was thought to have lived, by modern methods of figuring out a catchment area based upon where each murder took place. Wasn't he also a butcher by trade? So he wouldn't have attracted much attention wearing blood stained clothing.

@Gary DeBlasio He ment "groot" from his favorite marvel movie because hes 12. Very fascinating work man. I believe that one of these suspects is indeed the killer too. Probably the guy who hated prostitutes. Or theyre all wrong and was someone in between all of these people. Someone so plain, and relatable that they would never be seen as such. As for why he stopped killing, he probably got caught locally but whoever caught him either died and was assumed killed by other people.Then the ripper split, or the man who caught him didn't realize what he caught and jack split. Not having enough evidence for a clear conviction in those times would be hard. Maybe it was a super natural force as well. Such a curious case that will never be solved.

Mary Ann Nichols, the first to fall, Her life stolen away on Buck's Row's gall, Strangled and slashed, a brutal sight, The curtain was raised on this haunting night. Annie Chapman, a week had passed, In Hanbury Street, her breath did last, Abdominal mutilations, surgical precision, The Ripper's knowledge fueled suspicion. Elizabeth Stride, the same night's toll, In Dutfield's Yard, her fate took its hold, Her throat slit, but a different scene, Interrupted plans, an unsolved scheme. Catherine Eddowes, an hour's span, Mitre Square witnessed horror's brand, Throat slashed, abdomen torn wide, Her kidney stolen, panic multiplied. Mary Jane Kelly, the final victim's name, In Miller's Court, darkness claimed, Mutilation unmatched, a scene of dread, The Ripper's masterpiece, souls left for dead. Inspector Frederick Abberline, relentless in his quest, To unmask the killer, put the city at rest, With H Division, he pursued the trace, But Jack's true identity, still a secret encased. Through harrowing details, victims and their plight, London's streets haunted, engulfed in fright, Each murder etched in memory's strain, Forever linked to Jack the Ripper's reign. And so, we ponder with a shudder and a sigh, The motivations and secrets that lie, Behind these heinous acts, their dark allure, Jack the Ripper, an enigma to endure.

Honestly, I'm even more interested in that torso murderer that was mentioned. I wonder why Jack the Ripper rose to such to prominence, but nobody ever mentions the torso killings that were going on at the same time. I guess there's just not much to go on there, since almost none of the torso victims were identified. That's really sad.

[@jeyzeus]

Jack the Ripper has cooler name :). I remember when I was younger, Jack the ripper was basically synonym for serial killer and I was sure that that is because he was one of the biggest one and later when I discovered that he "only" killed 6 people, I was kind of disappointed. I mean, some of serial killers killed a lot more, at least those that we know of.

[@elitefencer777]

Brazenness would be my guess. The Torso victims were dismembered and their remains were dispersed to different locations for disposal. This is grisly, but also practical. The victims were also discovered over the course of ~2 years, increasing the possibility that some or all of the incidents were unrelated. The most notable things about the Ripper murders is the choice in victim (vulnerable woman who themselves provided the means of access) and the brutality of the assaults.

He was an unusual killer. Most had more of a cooling off period. Clearly, it was about mutilation, not torture. He seemed to have a rage for women as well. The genitalia, the breasts, the face were all targeted, as if he wanted to erase their womanhood. The scariest part? You would not have felt threatened by him, he would not have stood out. He had a good reason for being out at night, he was someone nobody would look twice at. He was not an outsider in the east end. Even when women knew there was a killer, they still went with him into dark alleys. In my opinion, jack the ripper was almost certainly male. Psychologically, female serial killers tend to be based on some kind of material gain, and they also use less personal and bloody ways of killing. A woman could certainly have had the knowledge required, but it is unlikely.

[@Elly3981]

Back then, people didn't think a woman could kill in such a horrific fashion but its still possible JTR could have been a woman since a neighbor of the last victim claimed she saw her just hours after the victim was supposedly murdered so its possible a female killer could have donned her clothes and fled the scene of the crime. In those days, any woman can claim to be a midwife, go out in public with bloody clothes, and nobody would think anything of it. A female abortionist would also have knowledge of female anatomy to remove organs like JTR did and a woman whose husband cheated on her with prostitutes would have had a sound motive for murdering them. People also tend to relax their guard around women then they would with men as well.

John Douglas(fbi profiler and author of mindhunter) actually covered this case in depth in his book cases that haunt us. Originally he thought jack was kosmimski or someone similar to him. He fit the profile perfectly. But after finding out he was still alive after the murders stopped (living out his days in mental asylums). He ruled him out as his prime suspect. Who then became David Cohen(or someone like him). A near identical profile that just fit the mold better than Kosminsky.

A years after Jack the Ripper murders. A few eerily similar murders happened in New York. I had that someone I don't remember who, said the killer might have been sailor who's ship had stopped in London just long enough for the killer to do his thing. Then when it was time to set sail again, he simply got back on the ship and moved on. Possibly to New York. Where he killed again. The killer could have a hundred victims all over the world if that's the case. I mean think about, if you were murdering psychopath with weird fetish for cutting people up. And it's pretty obvious that you like it too much to want to stop. What would be the best profession for you, that would allow you to keep killing while staying on the move? At the same time imagine being on top of other sailors on that ship. Having to travel long distances with this maniac. I'd imagine someone like Jack the Ripper wouldn't be the most friendly person on the planet. He was probably a total asshole, especially when after not having his fix of blood and guts starts getting to him.

My evidence: - knew the police routes - familiar with the area - would be able to get close to the victims without causing a scene - crime scenes kept getting tampered with - referred in the letters to the police as “boss” - would have had some basic understanding of anatomy - would understand police protocol to some extent - chief resigned after the murders, probably cause they found out

[@donnythompson408]

You brought up a good point, in reference to those possible Ripper victims who fall outside of “The Canonical Five”; that because Martha Tabram’s throat wasn’t cut like the other victims afterwards, that she’s been excluded by many as being a victim of JTR... But I agree that it’s entirely possible that Tabram was The Ripper’s first victim, and that he didn’t cut her throat because at that point, just killing her was enough to excite him. He may not have been sure early on about how he would play out his deranged murder fantasies. But as he continued to kill, the murderer evolved in the ferocity of the damage he did, and he found that what once excited him in the beginning, no longer did as time went on... and that he had to grow more savage with each subsequent victim, in order to feel any excitement from doing them. Basically, what got him off at first eventually didn’t anymore, so he had to keep taking it further each time. This would ultimately lead to the most savage of his killings, with his complete ravaging and tearing apart of Mary Kelly, who was the most torn up and disfigured. Kelly is also considered to be the only victim who’s murder occurred in a private residence, so the murderer had plenty of time to relax, be methodical, and take his time, acting out his ultimate violent fantasy and prolonging the event, without the risk of being caught by a passerby, or by the police.

[@Elly3981]

You're absolutely right. Serial killers also continue to kill until they die or are caught. Whoever JTR was, he was highly intelligent as well as mentally ill and sadistic, a dangerous combination. I also believe that he was someone who was good at getting women to trust and let their guards down around him too since none of his victims ever got the chance to scream or defend themselves before he murdered them.

Along with the DNA Lab - and accordingly, the validity of the tests on the alleged DNA on the shawl coming under serious doubt, Sotheby’s of London had their antique clothing/fashion experts examine the fabric, and their conclusion was that not only was the fabric and pattern of the shawl NOT designed until well into the 20th Century, it was also said that even if the shawl had existed in the 1880’s, it would have been a very expensive shawl, and no one in the East End would have ever had the money to buy it. It was an item that only those who were wealthy could have afforded when it was eventually made available ... nearly 20 years later.

[@benjaminwade8827]

The most interesting theory of Jacks identity I have heard is H.H Holmes. The theory states that he was capable of the violence and had the intelligence for anatomical knowledge and apparently his documented travels to England and back to the U.S line up with the murders.

[@zakalon123]

Yes i heard that too, he is a very plausible suspect. But it would be a long shot but truth is stranger than fiction.

[@maelstrom2594]

It is an interesting theory but highly unlikely, Jack was never caught because there was no connection between him and his victims. HH was caught because he knew most of his victims personally tried to swindle money from them before killing them and was eventually caught because of a bad insurance fraud scheme that went wrong. I just think the two killers are so dissimilar that they can't be the same person.

[@avega2792]

Holmes can be placed in the US during the Ripper murders. The whole thing about records of his travels to England is bs because he was in Chicago working and building his murder castle during the Ripper murders. Records like marriage, birth (of his daughter), dozens of lawsuits for non payment of his murder castle and his other scams, and other examples all place him in Chicago between the mid 1880s and early 1890s when the Ripper murders occurred thousands of miles away in London. Needless to say, he couldn’t travel back and forth to be in two places at once when the only way to cross the Atlantic back then was a weeks long trip by ship.

[@patrickperalta59]

@@maelstrom2594 I also heared of the theory that H.H Holmes was also Jack the Ripper and he did have the medical background.. the one thing that maybe him being Jack the Ripper was the fact he was in England and White Chapel at the same time Jack the Ripper was doing his killing he arrived a couple months before the killings started and once it ended H.H Holmes had left and went back to America that alone makes him a suspect.

[@patrickperalta59]

@Flicks I said it was a Theory I never said it was true.

[@VinnyS9143101982]

One suspect was hanged for a ripper style murder in Australia one was electrocuted in Sing Sing for several ripper style murders.Charles Lechtmere AKA Charles Cross was a meat market employee who often walked to work at 3 am. He was caught with a body (claiming to have discovered the body) all murders were in areas he knew like the back on his hand, and Mary Kellys flat was along his meat route.

[@jonahfalcon1970]

True story: at the time, the stage play of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was going on, and the lead actor Richard Mansfield was so convincing in the role that he was considered a prime suspect -- and his career was wrecked.

Did a walk through the Jack The Ripper display in Madame Tousault’s wax museum in London in 1983. Chilling, extremely realistic experience. Glad I had the insight to do so. Inspiring, not to follow suit, but to appreciate the crimes of the horror that haunted White Chapel in 1888. The Johnny Depp movie, From Hell, presents a thought provoking, alternative view of the Ripper saga.

The Kidney was also a ‘Ginny-kidney’. That was tested after receiving it. That was then concluded that it was most likely Catherine Eddowes kidney due to the fact that she was locked up earlier for being drunk and was partial to Gin. The first 4 women where the thought to have been strangled prior to any wounds being inflicted, which explained by there was never any blood splashed about. Mary Kelly was different, it is believed she saw what was coming as she had defensive wounds on her hands. Mary was also roughly 20 years younger then the prior 4. Florence Maybrick (the wife of James) and Mary resembled each other. Florence was having an affair and James took revenge on these ‘unfortunate’ women. Mary’s heart was never found and it’s speculated that James did to Mary what he couldn’t to Florence and took her heart. There is also an ‘F M’ in blood on the wall at the Mary Kelly scene. ‘FM’ = Florence Maybrick. Frederick Bailey Deeming was hung here in Australia (Old Melbourne Gaol) his death mask in on display. He was thought to be the Ripper as the murders stopped when he had left London, however was later ruled out. Even though there been as much ‘for’ as there has been ‘against’ I believe (so far) it was James Maybrick.
