[@VloggingThroughHistory]

This is a compilation of my three part reaction video series to Lemmino's "Jack the Ripper" which is, in my mind, one of the finest videos EVER made on this platform. Originally recorded in 2021.

[@BuffaloSentry]

If you ever do a group trip to England, you should have a day be focused on jack the ripper

[@rm3869]

Hands down the best video of yours

[@historyeditsofficial]

Nice video

[@TheLaur200]

Are you interested in making other reactions to some of his content, like the Dyatlov Pass case or others?

[@Cian._.]

​@@TheLaur200 Pretty sure Lemmino has voiced his distaste of reaction videos since Chris did the JFK series and he wants to honour his wishes.

[@scrivener68]

One thing I "like" about not knowing who JTR was is that it has put so much focus on who the women were, due if nothing else to people being fascinated by the topic yet having nowhere to go with it. So, we know their names, quite a bit about their lives (certainly compared to any other working class women in Victorian London), and we can value them as human beings by remembering them for whom they were. And I'm quite happy making that trade. As far as I'm concerned, we know all we need to know about who Jack the Ripper was: he wasn't important, he wasn't some great malevolent presence, he wasn't worth remembering; frankly, he was just some a**hole.

[@christopherthr]

Incredibly well said!

[@SCUMMY4205]

It's kind of a weird but fitting quote from a Kendrick Lamar song where he says "Everybody's gonna respect the shooter, but the one in front of the gun lives forever" Basically the killer will obviously get headlines and what not but the victims will never be forgotten and tossed aside

[@usagi18]

I like that approach

[@HothVeteran]

One of my favorite videos you have ever checked out. Lemmino puts out some of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZbin in terms of effort.

[@jasonblack2760]

It’s superior to anything I’ve seen. It’s criminal that they’re not compensated well by KZbin for such quality work.

[@dertroll1034]

I think Lemminos video to JFK wasnt that perfect, if you put it next to Simon Whistlers video at least.

[@4noctua6]

@VloggingThoughHistory Could you react to Simon Whistler Video (Decoding the Unknown) about JFK? Thanks

[@HothVeteran]

@@dertroll1034 the views and reception the video had says otherwise. Yes everyone isn’t going to like the same thing. Nothing is perfect much like your comment which is irrelevant to what I said.

[@4noctua6]

​@@HothVeteran i agree

[@grumblesa10]

It was a common belief, at least among prostitutes at the time, that alcohol reduced the risk of pregnancy. This may partially explain the alcoholism. Also, while water quality had greatly improved after the cholera epidemics in the 1860s, people were still suspicious of it.

[@godwarrior3403]

Makes sense. Societies and mindsets didn't change as fast back then as they do now, and even today if 20 years ago the water was poison, I'd probably always wonder haha

[@occam7382]

Wasn't it the case, though, that a lot of these women had turned to prostitution specifically because of alcoholism?

[@grumblesa10]

@@occam7382 In some cases. For a majority, it was loss of a spouse, i.e. family income stream; and no relatives that could help (as they were also likely living hand-to-mouth). No one wanted to go to the workhouse if they could possibly avoid it; so without any other useful skills this was the default.

[@davewilson8317]

These were the videos where I first found your channel. I have been a fan and subscriber to all your channels ever since. Keep up the good work Chris, and thank you for igniting my interest in the American Civil War, while always a big history buff, this time was a large hole in my knowledge.

One of the greatest all around documentaries I’ve ever watched and only enhanced by your insights. Well done, as always!

Beautifully stated.

[@yasminni485]

I absolutely love Lemmino's videos. I've watched your reaction to this video and I can't wait to watch them again. It's by far one of their best videos, and probably the best video on this subject. Thanks for this.

[@Suttonious]

This is by far my favorite series that you've done on this channel. I love the original video and also your breakdown of it too. You do amazing work, and I want to thank you for all the content, both reactions and also the original content too. History was and still is my favorite thing to study, and you make it even better. Again, thank you for all you do.

[@babydraco8296]

Thanks for the compilation VTH, helps when watching!

[@stryfe7467]

When it comes to video quality, Lemmino is where it's at.

His JFK video wasnt perfect. Simon Whistler did a better job.

[@kylelashmet2853]

I have been subbed to Lemmino since he was Top10Memes. Glad to see you also enjoy his content as much as I do!

[@im_sorry_i_forgot_my_username]

I watched this literally yesterday! Hahaha, what timing. I honestly consider your reaction to be the "complete" version of Lemmino's video, I miss your insight every time I watch the original

[@user-zt1ym7zc7p]

This series was awesome. I subscribed to both channels because of this .

[@captainthorrek262]

I love how he doesn't show the crime photos. While I understand monetization probably factors into the equation, it adds a bit of class by keeping the gruesome visuals out of video and let the women get back some of the dignity denied them.

[@LucasLucas-ne4xs]

There was only 1 crime scene photographed (Miller's Court) but I assume you refer to the existing morgue photos and I agree Lemmino is showing his class by not putting them in this video. I was also pleased he didn't use any of the fake pictures of the poor women you often find in other videos or articles. There exists 1 and only 1 known picture of any of the victims and that is the one of Annie Chapman that is shown in this video. I was already familiar with Lemmino's work and his excellent research, but is is nice to see it confirmed. I never understood why some documentary makers would present a victim with a photo that is not her and thus only add insult to the horrible fate she suffered. (Unless of course it is lazy copy/paste from others work and they don't even realise the photos aren't genuine)

[@Alexs.2599]

Yeah it's better this way, they're so gruesome. All of these murders are just horrific. What a demon!

[@BlandSpagetti]

Honestly those photos are traumatizing I’m glad he didn’t include them (I came across one of Mary Jane Kelly’s mutated corpse in Wikipedia and I threw up) I can’t imagine what it was like in person, I imagine at least one officer quit afterwards

[@ninjagirl226]

My only thought is that unless there is some form of evidence like the initials in the crime scene photo it doesn’t need to be shown. But that’s just me. It’s nice to see something from the era to get a better idea than imagine modern garb or tools if that makes sense. Like for instance in the final murder did the killer know the trick with the door because he stalked her or was he let in. I’m also confused on how the trick with the door even worked cause I feel you would cut yourself.

[@bipolitthefighter2599]

It's a coward move

[@JPL454]

I've watched both Lemmino's video and your reaction at least 4 times each, now I am watching yours again xD Really like the way you present your theories and how much you know about this topic

[@thatoneguy26792-u]

ive known your account for a few months and i love it you have taught me alot more thank you

[@elijahwilliford7957]

Can we just talk about how it theoretically (though ridiculous) possible that Ghandi was possibly the Ripper seeing as he was in London studying and left shortly after the murders stopped.

[@mikealvarez2322]

I've watched this reaction and Lemmino's documentary several times to compare them with others on You Tube and I must say Chris's additional comments really make his presentation along with Lemmino's the absolute best for Ripper murders. Chris adds so much to any video he comments on.

[@leftymcnally6913]

I second that Ripper St. recommendation. Ends kind of abruptly, but it's excellent

[@kenhobbs8565]

Fantastic original videos but your commentary and insights from the knowledge you gained/have through studies and research makes this even better to watch. I bet you've even visited The 10 Bells pub and the surrounding areas.

Oh I was waiting for this. Used to help me to memorize and sleep very well about the Jack The Ripper tales w/ your commentary/add-in. But sometimes YT just dont let me auto play 3 parts in a row. Thank you!

holy videos this lemmino channel has some of the best production i have ever seen thanks for putting me on too him

[@nancythane4104]

I believe it was the video, "The Definitive Jack The Ripper," where they had an 'expert' ( in regards to Cate Eddows) state that a serious amount of damage could happen in *two* minutes.

[@rickwiles8835]

I believe Charles Cross/Lechmere was Jack the Ripper. Three elements make Lechmere stand out. The first is the women were all murdered within his pathway to work or his childhood neighborhood and I’ll get back to why that fact is extremely important in a moment. Secondly, he was found in the presence of a fleshly killed Mary Ann Nichols and some say a victim that wasn’t completely dead. A victim whom the ripper seemingly didn’t have enough time to mutilate. As if he was caught in the act of murdering Mary Ann Nichols. Third, when he appeared at the inquest, he was wearing his apron. Because car men wore aprons. One of the newspaper reports describes how he was attired and he, turned up in his work clothes at the, at the inquest. Living as an adult in an area where the murders took place when he was a young man and living in the area where Jack the Ripper murders took place add to that he was employed as a delivery driver in Whitechapel means Lechmere was intimately familiar with the area. Familial enough with Whitechapel he knew where to lead these women to a place where he could kill and mutilate them undisturbed. If the grizzly task was interrupted he knew where to duck and hide till the police passed on by. Being familiar with the area he knew where prostitutes could easily be found. The reason he escaped with little more than short-lived police attention was that he was a very ordinary man. The kind of person people just overlook. He was in his early forties, he had a job, he was never thought of as mentally ill there was nothing to bring attention to him he was just the guy next door.

[@kitkat6782]

Good points, but what would be the reasoning for why he stopped?

[@rickwiles8835]

@@kitkat6782 That is a good question and I don't have a good answer.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

@kitkat6782 He may have killed afterwards. There were other murders. Regardless of that, serial killers can stop. Rader, DeAngelo, Ridgway, Heuermann all stopped.

[@jamescorlett5272]

It's good but it's for Entertainment Purposes Only - as Rick says Cross was not considered to be the ripper because he's a Normal Working man ie Not Royalty or Joseph Merrick but he turns into j t r were the police you might believe would show a little interest but Nah 🤣 .

[@pokemaster123ism]

There is only one way we will ever know ow definitively who Jack the Ripper was: we invent a Time Machine and go back and catch him

[@vrekt8702]

This video is what got me into your channel! Was awesome

[@TheMrTobiasRieper]

I’ve been a fan of yours for a while and I’ve been intrigued by Jack the Ripper for a long time so this is a great crossover for me.

[@stillmyboy6708]

Can you imagine having to sleep in a place like that as a women w no sorta protection knowing there’s a monster going around literally destroying people like you. Scary time to be alive.

[@ninjagirl226]

Actually you just need to be with someone trustworthy I think. Or another woman and not be a lady of the night. He never targeted anyone when they were with someone else only when they were alone. So a common boarding house where there’s a bunch of people in the same room would in theory be pretty safe from the ripper.

[@JubioHDX]

@@ninjagirl226 Theyre most likely talking about the final murder, where she was in a room by herself and not a common lodging/boarding house, She stayed alone with her only protection being a locked door, one that can be opened by simply sticking your hand through the long since broken window. Plus in times like back then once you resort to prostitution theres not much at all you could do to leave that life, most of them started out of necessity in the first place

[@claregale9011]

I think it should always remain a mystery its part of the allure, lets not forget these ladies were people first with families and very much loved .

[@Aegon23]

We do not yet know the identity of Jack the Ripper, and it seems it will take some time to uncover the truth. Nonetheless, there remains a chance that we may eventually solve this mystery. We simply need to await the right technological advancements or the discovery of new evidence, and voilà. Admittedly, this prospect does not bode well for us mere mortals, who may not live to witness the revelation. However, I firmly believe that one day we will indeed discover the truth.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

Wasn't there a woman some years ago who theorized it was some artist? It was an artist who did a painting of his own bedroom and titled it: 'Jack the Ripper's Bedroom.'

[@RLKmedic0315]

I think it was Patricia Cornwell that you are talking about. She thinks it was an artist (an American I believe) named Sickert. I seem to remember many Ripper theorists did not like or support her theory, but I did not follow it all that closely.

[@AimeeWelsand-ug1mb]

So many times I’ve wished for some of the physical evidence so we could apply modern forensics to this case and solve it once and for all. Alas, this isn’t possible either.

[@shathriel]

He must have had some anatomical knowledge, quickly cutting away in the dark with the possibility of being disturbed. The fact they were not caught probably means they were a rather cool customer instead of a raging nutjob.

[@adnef0388]

Lol I just watched all your Lemmino reactions earlier today.

[@strandigel]

Hey Just wanted to ask, did you ask die His permission? In His 5mil Update Video He ansewered a question about reaction Videos that He thinks it is not good/OK to Play the whole Video to react to.

[@johncondon4081]

1:07:44 The song I think of is “Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain”

[@stillmyboy6708]

1:37:38 you mention that the “From Hell” letter made you think the murderer was a Polish Jew? Just wondering why? Was it because it was written with a worse level of English than the others? Genuinely very curious

[@JohnnyOlsson]

Hey Chris! After watching this (and I watched them as parts at the time too) I must recommend another channel: Spectacles. Similar to Lemmino in style and presentation, and seems just as well researched. They've done some stories on topics that aren't as commonly discussed, like Japan post WWII. And I highly recommend their documentary on "Swedens JFK" - the murder of Olof Palme.

[@ninjacatsif2135]

This is one of my favourite videos of you reacting. It's really interesting to see. I've recently read the book "The five: the untold stories of Jack the rippers victims" and it's an amazing interesting read focusing on the victims of Jack. There's a video from Debunked File called "Jack the ripper: the forgotten 5" which uses it as an inspiration and source if you're in the mood to cover Jack again but cover the victims more then him. Its very long but it's split up into 6 distinct parts each part focusing on the life of one of the 5 and the final being on jack and ripperology as a study. Id love to see you react to it as it had a lot of information about the victims of Jack and Victorian day to day life as a poor, middle class and desperately poor perspective. Know it's a big request but hope you see and consider it. If there's an official way for me to ask where it gets added to a waiting list for consideration I'll add it there. Thanks for the read

[@Shaosprojects]

Hi Chris! Can you do another reaction video of Tasting History? Max has several videos about the Civil War and World War I that I think you'll find interesting

[@RLKmedic0315]

Would love to see this too

[@shneeb8758]

My brother and I both unanimously agree that this is one of, if not, THE best videos on KZbin. It's truly incredible

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

I would not argue with that.

[@philingrouille7198]

​@@VloggingThroughHistoryI would also recommend DebunkFile's Jack the Ripper video. It's excellent too

[@zhugh9556]

Very good original video and commentary. One thing I will mention is that you stated in your commentary that there is no way that JTR stopped killing on his own and must have died, been incarcerated, etc after the Kelly murder. However, this seems to be exactly what a more recent serial killer did in fact do. BTK whom you also mentioned stopped his killing spree of his own volition for quite a number of years before finally being caught due to being an egomaniacial idiot.

[@ninjagirl226]

The Long Island Serial Killer also managed to just stop for years until they gathered enough evidence against him. Golden State Killer too; they only caught him cause a relative did one of those commercial DNA test kits.

[@ahamliyta6703]

In the UK the 16 year olds are currwntly sitting their GCSE exams where in History, Crime and Punishment is a Paper and Whitechapel is extensively studied as a historical environment. This exam was yesterday. Didn't know if you may find that interesting and I know the comment probably sounds a bit wierd to read as it doesn't really flow.

[@Jlm8866]

Ever hear of the Gilla Expedition? Came into doing a lot of research for a class on the 1850 act for protection of Indians , the name John Joel Glanton comes up

[@davidwalker3626]

Classic videos by both Lemmino and you! Thanks, by the way, for using the word 'prostitute'; it is not an offensive term, the English language has another word that specifically evolved as an offensive one for the occupation (it starts with 'wh'). The push for the word 'sex worker' is nothing more than pseudo-intellectual Neo-Marxism, in the same way they pushed for 'Latinx' (and failed) and 'people of color' (unfortunately were more successful in bullying people to use that one). There was no reason to move away from the words latino, black, prostitute, etc., except for a desire to virtue signal in the most unearned way possible; furthermore, there has never been the slightest bit of evidence the suggested/demanded replacement words helped stop or lower discrimination. The post-modern obsession with language and its supposed implicit biases is, at best, an absolute waste of time and energy, and should be ignored.

[@videogenics86]

This is a rough case because police science was in its infancy at the time.

[@philingrouille7198]

One thing I'll add is this about the witnesses. If it had been Tumbletee they supposedly saw with one of the victims, even your usual Londoner would've noticed an accent (they would've also noticed his height as well). Tumbletee would've had an American accent. If this man was Aaron Kosminsky or Nathan Kaminsky/David Coen, they would've heard a Polish accent.

[@occam7382]

Yeah, a different accent is definitely something you'd notice. So would it be safe to say that whoever the Ripper was, they were likely British?

[@MVD.]

Fine, guess I'll watch this whole reaction for a 4th time lol

[@BuckarooBoya]

I'd like to see some Jack the Ripper from you, since you evidently have a great deal of interest in the subject.

[@videogenics86]

That description probably describes most of middle class London in the Victorian era.

[@anonrex565]

Great video!

[@badsabre5917]

21:50 I understand where he is coming from by saying they seem disconnected. But some serial killers begin with a personal connection and develop the thirst or need to kill more from that first kill. So if the killer felt a personal connection or embarrassment from Tabrum he might have been more vicious with the 39 stab wounds. But that does seem like a very rapid development of style or technique. So it could very well be disconnected.

[@kineuhansen8629]

ive been in a jack the ripper ghost house when i was in london back in 2012 hated it cant remember where it was cant remember for sure if it was a jack the ripper themed but i do remember it had one of those coasters that goes up and down by the end of the tour

[@thesemyths3597]

Pat Brown's profiling of JTR is worth a look. Only the first four canonical victims are likely to have been the work of 'Jack'. The killer was most likely a local man, a working man who knew the area. Her prime suspect is Jacob Levy, and I have to agree. He was a butcher, had a shop nearby, and died a couple of years later. People overlook him because he isn't exciting, there are no photographs, and they fear being called anti-Semitic, but he fits the bill perfectly. Plus the last murder, Mary Kelly, looks very much like a copy-cat and doesn't fit the JTR M.O., with the boyfriend likely staging the murder scene to throw the police off. These were just run of the mill murders of the time, made sensational by the local press inventing the character of 'Jack' and forging the letters. Strangled, mutilated, and left for dead. Just an angry, local, psychopathic butcher releasing his pent up aggression, and having some fun at the expense of the destitute and the local press. The victims would have been quickly forgotten if it hadn't been for publicity hungry journalists.

[@moneymastermind2698]

[@Jose.AFT.Saddul]

@@DaNerdling he said if the Channel said they don't approve of react content. Which lemino did in his recent Q&A video. VTH will stop reacting to them. So we’ll never see another Lemino or CGP grey reaction until they change their stance.

@@Jose.AFT.Saddul Deleted my previous comment after rewatching the Q&A video, he said he doesn't mind so long as it's just clips, but he doesn't like it when it's the entire video, which this channel, I believe, has done. Though I understand what Lemmino is saying, I still feel like in this specific case, "Historian Reacts" does add to the conversation. But again, I respect him respecting Lemmino's wishes, it just sucks because I enjoyed the reactions to his stuff.

[@Omar_listenin]

even if they weren't following tumblety 24/7, I find it incredible to believe someone who just got bailed out of jail on suspicion of being the ripper would then go and commit the most ripper like crime of them all a day later. I know the guy was a few cards short of a pair of aces but that's really hard to believe

[@randomperson6433]

Chris, this is a real long shot that your ever gonna see this, but i got recommended this after watching the jack the ripper episode of Buzzfeed unsolved and it got me thinking, you should definitely check them out. Their buzzfeed unsolved show has LOADS of cool cases, ranging from theft to murder to disappearance, altho i will say they dont take it entirely seriously and joke around a lot, but i still think it is worth a watch. They also do something called puppet history on their new watcher channel since they left buzzfeed, which is more traditionally down your ally :) Much love, from Huddersfield

[@docstockandbarrel]

Maybe the first one was with some emotional component, and he liked it, so the future ones didn't have the same emotional involvement but were connected.

[@barefacedyeti3895]

very fascinating video. no disregard to the victims but hearing you use and say the word turning tricks makes me giggle

[@itequipment8251]

We have specialist Coroners Court's where inquests are held in the UK still.

[@Varzaak]

I was an avid fan of Mindhunters. What if Jack the Ripper moved around a lot. I saw an article about murders in Scotland that may have had the same MO. If he was a butcher who was good at his craft he could have easily taken his trade to a new location. Much like HH Holmes did. People during that time did not interfere when violence was happening. Much like many do not today because of the possibility of you becoming a new target. It is very possible that Jack was spotted killing someone and that person not reporting it. I remember what Ed Kemper had said about talking to cops, and how he gleaned information about suspects. Its very possible that Jack was at the inquests. If Jack at an inquest saw that they were getting too close for comfort he would simply move to another location. If Mary Kelly was his victim and he was present during that briefing he probably got the thrill of his life with what the police said. He would also know that people would be overly vigilant. Its also possible he was a member of that public vigilante group. He would know exactly where they would be at certain times and would also know when and when not to commit a murder. I have no clue what his triggers were. Prostitutes are easy prey and they can represent different things to a killer. He may have even canvassed the area to learn patrolmen's routes. The thought did occur to me that the Ripper might have been Lusk himself. A builder does travel and Dance Halls are everywhere. The letter always bothered me. I think it was over done with bad spelling on purpose. The "o" in sir doesn't make sense when you look at how he knows vowel pronunciations in other words. The word "knif" starts with a k. That makes no sense either because of knowing a silent k. He left the E off every word but left it on a misspelled "nise". But then has a silent g and spelled "signed" correctly. Mishter? This was misspelled on purpose as well. Just my thoughts. I do think he was a member of the group if not Lusk. Thoughts?

[@jaybirdjargon]

Do you think if modern forensics existed in 1888 they would have been able to solve the murders? or prevent them?

[@AimeeWelsand-ug1mb]

100% yes

[@lacey9896]

Here's one possibility that often gets over looked. While everyone was looking for a doctor or a butcher the ripper could have been a cook or chef. They HAVE TO both know where the organ's are and be very fast with a knife.

[@danielallen3454]

My, admittedly limited, understanding of the state of police work at the time suggests that the London Police actually did *everything* it was in their power to do to stop the killer. But they simply didn't have the understanding or technology that could've led to a breakthrough.

[@jackmessick2869]

Does anyone know differently?

William Henry bury is also a good suspect. Lived in Bow at the time, violent towards women, moved to Dundee at the end of 1888. Convicted of strangling and stabbing his wife shortly thereafter and executed.

It would be really cool if you react to Francisco de Almeida - Part 1 - Age of Discovery from Flash Point History! The story, the voice, the animations and the background music, it all adds up.

I could see a connection between Tabram and Nichols with their injuries in terms of escalation if I made a particular assumption. That assumption would be that Tabram's murderer might not have planned to kill anyone beyond her at the time and it was done in a fit of rage. Perhaps a potential lover or companion who found out that she was working as a prostitute. What may have happened after is that he found satisfaction in her death, possibly even a sense of supremacy, and mentally connected her acts of prostitution as a reason for the feeling. The killer could then have decided he wanted that feeling again and that killing other ladies of the night would give it to him. It could also explain the three-week gap as he reconciled those conclusions with himself as well as why he used a different method of attacking (slashing instead of stabbing) to see if it enhanced the feeling in any way. If that happened, it could also explain the escalation in future attacks in regards to taking body parts. Since the final canonical victim was the most heavily mutilated, it could be at that point he reached a plateau. This could explain why the killings stopped after that if we do not conclude capture for other crimes or death. In other words, the killer might have concluded he would get no other satisfaction in future killings.

Hey, I'm curious on your thoughts on this- the series fate: apocrypha portrays jack as an avenging river spirit who took pity on the dead babies killed by the prostitutes who wouldn't raise them. As a dark fantasy interpretation what do yiu think? Fate is know for taking mythological versions of historical characters, like king arthur, heracles, gilgamesh, Saint Shiro (of japan) joan of arc, and Cú Chulainn (and MANY more) pairing them with wizards in the modern era and they all battle to gain control of the holy grail. usually the plot of each of these figures follows the themes of their mythological stories. In fate: zero you see a moment when alexander the great, king author and gilgamesh have a parley, and discuss what it means to be a worthy king, they also all wind up battling each other later on.

1:37:32 What makes you so certain about that? I get the typos from the letters suggesting he was a foreigner, but why specifically a Polish Jew?

[@sethelrod9099]

1:29:09 so I’m not 100% sure about London, but the concept of the modern day weekend didn’t come about until Henry Ford. So it may be plausible that Charles was working on Saturday and Sunday

[@FoosNotes]

I wish I could go back in time and find out who it was. Someone took it to their grave. From this, it seems like Cross and Cohen are the most likely suspects, imo, but it could just as easily be someone nobody’s ever considered. Being such a large city with people from all over the world constantly coming and going, it could’ve been anyone. I feel like this will be a mystery forever.

I still like the Jill the Ripper theory.

[@TorvusVae]

I think it's waaaay more likely the Ripper was a butcher than a doctor. Just based on the whole "the other piece I fried and ate" bit of the From Hell letter. I don't buy the idea that the Ripper was educated and upper class just because he knew his way around a body. I think that was partly an excuse by the police and the media as to why Jack was never caught. Plus, an upper class man would be unlikely to be hanging around in the same places as these women to be able to select them as victims. Someone of the upper class would get noticed in Whitechapel in those days.

Any link to the London Jack The Ripper tour you had in 2022?

[@Varzaak]

The ultimate whodunit. This is a fascinating topic. HH Holmes is probably the only other thats in this ballpark.

[@dustinnewhouse1717]

don't serial killers have a cool down period beetwin killings until they cant control their urges

[@RLKmedic0315]

The cool down period is also heavily influenced by the underlying mental condition of the person. The more "rational" the person the longer the cool down seems to be. Possibly due to the ability to delay gratification and control impulses. The less mentally stable the less impulse control (that is also highly subjective)

[@keithwagner5356]

i still think its hh Holmes cause he was in london at the time and he was americas first serial killer and he went to medical school killed over 400 people

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

The "proof" of him being in London at the time of the Ripper killings is flimsy at best. Someone started out wanting to believe it was true, then found "evidence" to corroborate it. In my mind, there's zero chance Holmes was the Ripper.

[@Klyis]

Admittedly I only clicked on this video as an excuse to watch Lemmino's excellent documentary for a third time, but I did thoroughly enjoy the added context and information you provided. Personally I'm not convinced any of these suspects were the Ripper. Bennett is the most probable suspect of the lot followed by (not Aaron) Kosminski. Cross/Lechmere only feels like a suspect of convenience. He was in the right place and time but the fact he continued living as a free man long afterwards does not explain why the murders suddenly stopped. I agree with your assessment that the Ripper either died or was incardinated for a different crime. One theory I have is that the Ripper had a terminal illness (tuberculosis perhaps), knew they were dying and committed the murders as a twisted means of creating some kind legacy for themselves. It could explain why the murders occurred within a relatively short time frame, why they were often so brutal, and why they stopped so abruptly. Additionally it explains the apparent boldness in which the killings were committed because the murderer had less fear of being caught.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Serial killers have actually been known to stop, so that shouldn't rule out Lechmere. Nobody else has the connections to the murder spots and timings like Lechmere does. Typical nondescript local man you would think could possibly be the culprit..... just like most serial killers.

[@Shmuel420]

I know his newest video isn't much about history, but are you planning on reacting to it?
