Let them God knows where, at our wits end

On the morning of October eighth, eighteen, eighty eight in regions Park, the metropolitan police force conducted the first of seven Bloodhound trials. The goal was to prep the hounds for tracking London's most elusive and relentless killer. The one and only Jack the ripper bloody breeder in trainer Edwin Bluff, whose name was considered synonymous with a particular breed of canine, travelled from windy eight to offer. To best towns, Burgo and Barnaby. The trials received mixed reactions from the public, but the general consensus was that it was quite a foolish theory. But can you blame the police by this point? They were willing to try anything women on the streets of eastern were being stalked, killed, mutilated beyond recognition and everyone in During the supposedly safe citizens at the affluent west end region were paralyzed by constant state of fear. That Jack would strike again and worse that he would know.

Be stopped spread times call for desperate measures. Hence the trials release the odds, the pillow and welcome to a dual edition of unsolved murders, true crime stories and serial killers.

Vanessa is the psychological voice, as we to pull back the cerebral layers of Jack the ripper and attempt to pinpoint his motivations. It's important note that finances not a psychologist, your psychiatrist herself, but she has done a plethora of research on the subject now back to both the Mann report. Well for up ending EAST London and the hounds, who are trained to find him. So it's important to know that only a month and a half into Jack's narrative. Since He the scene and late August of eighteen. Eighty eight he had created

veritable cyclone of fear, violence, Social Malays and media chaos. So, let's take a look at the facts or for victims for last victim was Catherine Meadows number, potentially credible letters written to the press, three number of kidney sent by post, one well one half of a kidney, to be precise. Number of articles published about him too many took out man employed by the Vigilance committee filled the store. To help policemen patrol reporters in detectives back did together in the hopes of locating and now fishes were putting their eggs in the Bloodhound basket now up until this point, blue HANS had not been commonly used for tracking criminals in any real organised way. Bloodhounds were generally valued for their tracking capabilities during an animal haunt the blood Hound aptly gets its name for its ability to track blood as well, as other sense, but it is said

as early as the late twelve hundreds blood him we used to track people and in the fifteen hundred we used to track thieves, poachers and border raiders at the risk of sounding like a commentator at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog show. I must point out the usefulness of a bloodhounds physicality, because it is just too fascinating not to the large drew being ears at the breed actually prevent wind? From scattering skin cells, the hound is investigating, with its snout, the falls under the lips and neck catch stray sent particles in the surrounding environment to aid the bloodhound as its sniffs. Well, so basically, blood homes were designed for the sort of work. Exactly it's interesting to note that the concept that the Bloodhound trials basically originated with the jack. The ripper case now bloodhound working trials as they are currently known place in England four times a year under Kennel club rules and guidelines, the trials from the pure bred bloodhounds only and consist of countryside challenges in which have

following Human sent trail up to three miles long. So what actually happened with these famous and highly publicize trials? Beckoned eighteen, eighty eight Well, the first trial seem to go fairly well, the blood we were able to track the young man who ran ahead of them fifteen minutes before they were. Let free more trials, place that evening? But this time in Hyde Park the next morning, too stay October. Knife Commissioner, Sir Charles Warren appeared for the third trial and he eventually participated. Another trials serving the person the hounds tracked, while worn express some satisfaction with the trials the newspapers did not there continually ridiculed him for this decision and practically speaking reporters believe? The whole affair was useless. One paper called ECHO reported the following, first difficulty in using them will be, it said to get them to hold the right sent, and once that is done, there is,

a thousand and one cross, since that would run over the track so that can be no assurance of their following the same person up again the streets off Facilities to criminals are getting away in vehicles, buses and trams, and there are other railways to be reckoned with. People felt the efforts of the police were misguided. And it wasn't long before a new tidal wave of public outrage struck. People took to the streets in areas, London landmarks, there were public debt installations in Hyde Park, had signs. Reading the White chapel murders. Where are the police angered Citys he wrote to various papers. One such purse

sent a letter to the editor of the evening news, sir. I cannot help thinking that the horrible atrocities which have been perpetrated lately upon unprotected females at present without any detection, reflects discredit upon our detective force. In saying this, I do not mean to imply that the men themselves or at fault, but that the whole organization of the department is carried on in such an absurd and confined manner ouch. This type of unrestrained criticism was common, so all the social unrest and the newspapers covering every minor detail and development of the case. I have to wonder what role does the press,

play on the serial killer psyche. Well, that's a loaded question Gregg in terms of Jack. I think we would need to explore the role that fantasy plays in the mind of a serial killer. Fantasy is a form of escapism, and many serial killers use their sadistic fantasies as an outlet for the pain, abuse and trauma they most likely experienced as children. Their psychosis allows to bridge the gap from mere fantasy to a flesh and blood reality. They build a story in their minds that taken then carry out. I believe this is in part. What drove jack? so the media's extensive coverage of the case just fed into Jack's fantasy, which he continually made a reality, fuelling desires. Even more are you saying Media coverage contributed to Jack skills. I'm sorry, that the media coverage most likely contributed to the fantasy, which was one of the driving factors of his crimes, and if we taken to consider

nation Jack's likely correspondence with the press and George Lust, the head of the Vigilance committee we see, Jack's purchased, patient with the media in the social maelstrom exactly it's like this cyclical beast- that both jack in the media FED I'm not saying that idiot, directly turn them into a war serial killer. I'm just saying that the obsession exhibited by the press certainly didn't help the situation and it may have fuelled his dark desires in a way that wouldn't have happened. Had there been no news coverage when we also cannot overlook how the media affected the public through this right, specifically with the type of press really gaining steam during these years. We of course call this sensationalize journalism. Someone addressed this in the lead paper, echo sensational journalism, has much to answer. For the other day, a woman died from excitement. After reading temporary account of the White Chapel horrors yesterday, at the Thames police court. The magistrate

give orders for the committed to a lunatic asylum of Stepney woman who had driven mad by the east end murders, probably she too had been perusing too horrible details published in certain of the London newspapers, returned or a story in just a moment from the park ass network High, its Gregson Vanessa, and we have some great news for all of our incredible cults listeners as it.

Your Pont casts And now back to our story, in addition to all the media, letters were flooding in written by people claiming to be Jack, the Ripper I'm sure that really help the situation did not so

are more outlandish than others. Here's a few tit. From various letters which to be clear, are not believed to be the work of Jack. The ripper beware, shall be at work on the first and second at twelve midnight, and I gave the authorities of good chance, but there is ever a policeman near where I am at work. Yours, Jack, the ripper, here's another, What fools the police are given the name of the street, where I am living Prince, William Street. Here's quite an odd Oh? Have you seen the dealt with this microscope and scalpel lookin at a kid with the slide cocked up and this from another dear boss letter one that isn't given much credence. Sorry about the blood, the message from the last one? What a pretty nicholas I gave you can imagine how this influx of Jack centred male must have overwhelmed the police even more stall. This they were so conducting a massive search of all the slums of White Chapel about

thousand residents were questioned. Handbills were destroyed did that instructed residents to report any suspicious person to the police. The problem was jack, live now, evidence behind it. The crimes saw the police could do was flood. The store to try to spot him or drawing out, but actually the opposite happened. After his most recent murder of Catherine ETA is Jack, seem to go into hibernation, by early November about a month after his last kill through, then no more mergers did this mean that where was ending hardly and for one woman Jane Kelly, it was just beginning. Not a lot is known about Kelly but as for her age and physical appearance, she was about twenty five years old and fairly tall for a woman at that time. She fair, skin and blue eyes. With light colored hair, she claimed to have been Limerick, Ireland, and that she

her parents in or eight siblings, move to Wales when she was a young child. She also claimed that she married very young at the age of sixteen, but her husband died in a mine explosion, a few later. It was after this tragedy that Kelly became a sex worker and began working for french madame and a high and bordello in West London. It was a few years later after slew of unsuccessful relationships that she met her future husband, Joseph Barnett. He was a porter billingsgate market. They met for a drink on their first then the men up again the next day in hastily decided to move in together. They eventually up residence in a room known as thirteen Miller's court, which was actually the back portion of a flat at twenty six Dorsett Street no doors. History was pretty famous for being terrible. It was a street of decaying and dilapidated lodging houses and was known as the centre of EVIL on palm

maps, it was coded black and classified as vicious and semi criminal, but I think that was a. U for me and because there really wasn't anything semi about its crime, the area was full of thieves. Sex workers and hardened residence, whose blood easily boiled the room that key Lillian, Barnett occupied, was very small and only contained the bed. Small tape, the chair, a tin bath and the bedside table, the walls. We bear safe were an inexpensive print called the fishermen's widow that hung above the fireplace Ellie would often allow her friends and other sex workers to use the room which Barnett, eventually to the point of a full blown fight with Kelly. After one particular, bad argument in which a window was broken, Barnett left and he in Ellie separated mud because he still cared for Kelly. He would visit her periodically and give her money on Thursday

November. Eighth, is he paid her a visit in the early evening and stayed for about a half an hour at one thousand, one hundred and forty five p dot m that same Kelly was seen walking with a man down Dorsett Street Marian OX, a widow and sex worker who lived in this in building as Kelly spotted her she approach, Stairs Kelly and Mystery man started into her room at the lodging house. This was the first man Kelly would be seen with that night and the less important than the two tonight marriage. I M, going to have a song the man, bang the door closed and Kelly began. Singing Mary Cox lady described the man as about thirty six years old, with fair skin and stout build in terms of his facial features. His skin was marked with blotches and he had a thick ginger colored mustache. He wore a long dark overcoat and a black felt Billy, cocked hat, which is just

fancy name for around crowned brimmed hat in his hand, was a court of beer we continued singing the song she began and did that for about half an hour. Two, a M Mary Kelly was bad on the street. Looking for money, the man her neighbor had seen her with was gone. Do you anything to spare do not man, nothing at all. Coolly. Major way past the gentleman and struck up a conversation with another, the first man, George Hutchinson watched the extreme you will be all right from what I have told you. The man put his arm around Kelly and they walk towards Dorsett Street when the police- viewed Hutchinson? He said he didn't get a good look at the man are drug users but he had down his head with his hand over his eyes,

deep down to get a better look. He just glad at me. It was quite unpleasant, then what well? I felt compelled to get some kind of look. So I followed, I kept a distance mind you and watched as they stood at the entrance of millet call. What are they doing talking, but about right now You will be comfortable. She was taking him home for the night. That is what it sounded like the went into a room. I waited therefore good. Forty five minutes. No one came out at about four a m: a neighbour of Kelly's hurt us she believed came from a young woman. Other neighbour, I also heard someone scream, but because that not uncommon in an area like this, no one thought much of it and they all went back to sleep, not uncommon, but wouldn't you think at a time like this, when the entire region is on edge from an anonymous killer, that people would all take cries of murder. More seriously, were you

thanks so about five. Forty five in the morning, Marian I heard a man's footsteps leaving Miller's court. Could those footsteps hub made by the man known as Jack the ripper entirely possible, now some time before ten thirty, a M landlord John Mccarthy gave in order to his assistant Thomas barrier, need you to go to room thirteen and collect payment. Let's Kelly's room. Is it not? It is and don't let her sweet talk you. She must pay, like all the others, not a problem Miss Kelly Mescaline. When there I'm here to collect your payment, Miss Kelly, ah ha What is it Thomas? You must come with me, Mr Kelly. What do you mean then the door and no one answered I I

through the window, and I saw a lot of blood, the two went to Marshall Street Police station to report what they had seen through the window, the butchered body of Mary Kelly, police hurried to the scene, but no one entered. They were told to wait. The hounds were coming to sniff out the location. Time passed a couple hours in fact, as authorities waited for the bloodhounds only to be told they were not available, Doktor George, Baxter Phillips, who had examined Jack's other victims, was primed and ready. The landlord Mccarthy used to pick to pry opened the door. Doktor Phillips, Other physician, Doktor Thomas Bond quickly began their examination. It looks too that the victim was lying in bed when she was murdered. Yes, this bloody sheet suggests

it was pulled over her face at some point. During the act right carotid artery has been severed. Cause of death. Yes, so, like all his other victims, that's where it started, but check did not stop there. Nor did he hold anything back. He obliterated the body. Please be advised that what you're about to here is disturbing, intended for mature audiences, only Kelly's face was badly mutilated. Her nose, cheeks eyebrows and ears had been partially removed her lips also at several come Her arms have been slashed several times. Her breasts had been cut off and one was placed underneath her head. The other was placed right by her foot. Her heart was miss

other organs, such as her kidneys, liver and spleen, were removed and placed around her body chunks of her stomach and fire had been sliced off and placed on the table by her bed. In several places, she'd been cut down to the bone. There is barely anything left over. It was an absolutely horrific site and his most uninhibited and brutal kill, yet The manner in which he killed Mary Kelly was so violent and gruesome that her face was beyond recognition and photographs. Taken of the corpse Kelly looks half skeleton, half human it's like Jack was trying to remove most of her flesh, so no one could identify her and she wouldn't even resemble a human. What would occur for this? Unfathomable escalation I mean we know the jack was known to escalate as crimes going from a simple throat slitting to body mutilations, but

surely removing massive chunks of flesh and cutting down to the bone. This is totally new for him. Well, there are a few reasons he may have done this. First of all, this is the first. Time Jack has killed indoors in a private closed off space before he was killing out in the open in the streets, but for this kill he not only had that security of a contained environment. He also had time on his hands. There was no threat that someone would say will upon him committing the act. There was the threat of neighbours, hearing Kelly screams, which apparently did happen, but it was less of a threat because between Jack's crime in any danger was locked door, it was like Kelly's room became Jack's lair and in here he inflict more damage take his time without any inhibitions. I'm wondering, since this is the last of his five canonical murders, if Jack Neue wasn't going to kill again and decided to make this one count, I think that's a very interesting thought

and it's entirely possible, but just like other serial killers, who start out with smaller crimes and develop their signature, based on what excites and satisfies the most jack kept escalating. The brutality by which he killed these women, Mary Kelly, was like the crescendo of all his killed right, for Jack. He had to end on what he would see as a high note, after doktor bond. This post mortem report the coffin. I lived and Mary kill, his body was placed inside a crowd formed. She was taken away. The door of the room was closed in padlocked Mary, Kelly's death and the manner in which Jack, desecrated or body sunshine, Waves across London and beyond on November tenth, please commissioner, Sir Charles Warrant, issued a murder pardon for anyone who may have been an accomplice of Jack the ripper it read, whereas on November, the eighth ninth Umbilical CORD Court Street Spitalfields Mary

JANET Kelly was murdered by some person or persons unknown. The Secretary of state, will advise the grant of her majesty's gracious pardon to any accomplice, not being Person who contrive or actually committed the motor oil shale gives information and evidence. I shall led to the discovery and conviction of the person or persons who committed the murder. It was at this point that the Mai monarch of England, Queen Victoria got involved. You know it's serious budgets, the attention of the queen Queen Victoria reached out to the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury, with a telegram this new most ghastly. Murder shows the absolute necessity for some very decided action. All these courts must be lit and our detectives improved. They are not what they should be. You promised when the first move, took place to consult with your colleagues about it. Following Kelly's death, a few reports of possible jack, the ripper attacks surface

One claim was made by a sex worker who said she took a shabby but genteel man to a room, and he tried to attacker. Her throat had been so professionally slit some. But the wound was hardly anything to get to alarmed about it later came that she may have been hiding coins in her mouth in an attempt to rob the man so may he threatened or in things turned violent, that's possible other than if, strange cases such as these, which actually didn't amount to anything. Nobody's turned up that seem to be the work of Jack there. It was now winter and as the snow filtered in blackening the ground of London. Jack was your whisper in the air and nowhere to be found. Some quest that circulated throughout the area were where is he

Why have the murder stopped we'll be back and those questions we aspiring ripper I'll just must also ask practically speaking. The murders may have stopped because Jack the Ripper died, or he may have moved, but psychologically speaking, a serial killer may stop killing for a few for reasons. One they're scared of getting caught police are moving in. It's too much trouble for the killer to continue his or her actions, choosing not to kill but to return to the normal sea of society becomes more appealing or necessary, to something else takes priority over killing, for example, a killers physical wellbeing. Or may not want to continue with the strenuous visible work of carrying out his murderers? This probably wasn't the case for Jack, since he wasn't too old and had only been added for a few months, but you get the idea worked in a similar vein. We must also look at what prevent

them for being caught at the time there was such a lack of resources when it came to cereal crimes such as these, british officers only carried handcuffs, whistles note, books, truncheons, which are basically batons. No sufficient weapons of hide, and there was no dna testing at the time and no finger printing. Let didn't come in lay until a few years later in eighteen. Ninety two so really Jack may have left plenty of eminent said his crimes, the authorities just didn't, have the technology at their disposal to collect and ten pray without that technology to narrow down the suspect list. Radiologists have a plethora of possibilities to choose. From with that being said, experts have narrowed down to a core group of some specks before we get to our three choices. Let's examined the more vague and outlandish theories. First, we know that

early on in the investigation, it was suggested that Jack could have been an immigrant working as a butcher. Fantastic has progressed. A new theory emerged this hypothesis. This also service in the nineteen eighty eight FBI profile of Jack, that he was poor probably a person who worked in the medical field some knowledge of anatomy. Another- that arose was the idea that Jack was a sailor who, after making port, would kill and then- disappear back to see, however, that there are. Is lesser known and less credible. Another theory was there Jack was actually from West End, an upper class with the mind of a lunatic who travelled to Eastern too. It is a vicious crimes and then there's the female killer theory. The jack was actually a russian woman by the name of all good teach her soft, who had a data against sex workers, because her sister died during the vote, abortion. Well, if that's true,

we'd, have to change the killers named Jack, Jackie, the ripper. That's quite a paradigm shift We entertain the idea that the killer was actually a woman. However, its likely just based on the amount of damage the killer was able to inflict? Well now that we have addressed some of the broader theories let's go on some of the core main suspects. The three we ve narrowed down to through our copious research, but first its import did know that over one hundred thousand people have been considered speaks in this case at one time or another is also important to note there- are several potentially viable suspects whose names are commonly thrown around and of those we ourselves have narrowed down to the three we believe are the most credible with one taking the lead us, our tops us were saving him from last are for suspect is Severin. Antonio, rich close house who else became known as George Chapman, several was born in

and in eighteen sixty five, his father was a carpenter who saw the value and having a reputable career, so he handed seven and over to a well regarded surgeon. Severin soon became his apprentice by eighteen, eighty five, so and completed his studies in Warsaw and became a full fledged junior surgeon in eighteen. Eighty seven, the year he Emma created to London once there since medical jobs were scarce for immigrants, he became hairdressers assisted at events We started running his own barbershop. A few years later, he would take a job and indifferent barbershop one. Was located in White chapel near the epicenter of murders was happening. He met and married a woman by the name of Lucy but Durski who was blindsided when severance current wife. From Poland showed up on their doorstep to fight for her husband, severance most recent wife

Z, managed to hold your position and the former wife eventually left. This would not be the first time so and cheated on a woman. It was actually the star of a long pattern of infidelity. In fact, when Lucy caught him, cheating engaged in a vile argument that ended with Severin attacking her with a knife, Daily Chronicle even mention the incident later in nineteen o three. She said that on one occasion when she had a quarrel with her husband, he her down on the bed and pressed his face against her mouth, to keep her from screaming the woman to see a handle protruding from underneath the pillow she found to her horror that it was a sharp and formidable knife later close, asking deliberately told her tat. He meant to have cut her head off the couple of finally ended their relationship, but wasn't long before Severin found Lucy's replacement. Sweden's name was any Chapman. I'm sure you will recall that one of joy

Victims was named, Annie Chapman. This is simply a coincidence. Both Any an Chapman were common names at the time, but what was it about severance, Annie Chapman was her name. He left her but took with him her surname then gave himself a new first name and became known as George Chapman that he even cheap His name is suspect. People often do this when they're running from the law hiding something in their past or desperately needing a fresh start. Sometimes all three, yes, So he took her name but quickly left her and moved on to his next woman, Mary Spink Severin beat her often and severe. And an eighteen. Ninety seven. He bought an ounce of tartar arithmetic, a white powder that its colourless, odorless tasteless and a potent poison when given in small doses over a period of I will destroy the body slowly inflicting a lot of pain. Sadly

this was Missus Spinks fate. She first began suffering from. Terrible stomach pain, inertia. She died on Christmas day, so he poisoned her. Yes and she was only the first. His next lover, Bessie Taylor became his second victim. She died from poisoning on Valentine's day. Nineteen o one next was Marsh Barmaid, who had conferred I did in her sister about Severin, you dont know, What he is March began displaying similar symptoms as severance previous women. She died in October or of nineteen o too, but it was her by that yielded the evidence, authorities finally needed to put an end to the string of mysterious deaths. Three days later, Severin was arrested. He was charged with the murders of Maud Marsh Mary spank, an Bessie Taylor, but was actually only convicted of mobs death. He was here did Wandsworth prison on April seventh, nineteen o three. Now some people

Discount seven as a viable suspect, because of his Emma setting that the act of poisoning differs too much from what Jack the Ripper did too. As victims, some criminologists assert that a killer can choose to change his or her ammo, depending on necessity, for example, if his victims are Ex workers looming in the shadows of white chapel. He has the abyss, to be more messy, with his kills, for instance, but if his victims or his own lovers, women, closely associated with him. He asked to use a more subtle means and kill under the radar in a manner of speaking, but the fact that he killed and did it multiple times is dammit. This puts them in a category ozone in regard to the other suspects jack himself with cereal murder and so a separate great point, and if we look at severance track record, we women his infidelity, his insatiable sexual, DR, his physical abuse and utter violence, and, of course, here

killing of them he becomes very suspicious. We also cannot ignore his surgical expertise right inspector airline believed he was the man he had been hunting. In fact, he was quoted The Pall Mall Gazette as saying a man who could watches wives being slowly tortured to death by poison, as he did was capable of anything and the fact that he should have attempted in such a cold blooded manner. To murder his first wife with a knife makes one more inclined to believe in the theory that he was mixed up in the two series of crimes. Indeed, if the theory accepted that a man who takes life on a wholesale scale never ceases his occurs at habit until is either arrested or dies. There is to be said for his consistency, you see incentive changes, but the fiendish nice is not eradicated. Wow ABBA

it sounds very convinced that seven was the guy. So what doesnt line up really The only thing is his age according to several witnesses. The man seen with the victims was about thirty, five or forty years old, but at that the murders Severn, was my twenty three but people can easily Younger are older than they actually are, so it doesn't seem to me like it's the most convincing counter argument, which is why he remains a strong possibility. We return to our story in just a moment now back to the story: can suspect, is Walter, Sigurd famous for his Mc Cobb artwork exposing the lives of those living in and around Whitechappel sicker. It became quite the popular artist in England, And-

actually painted with Winston Churchill, but before that secret was born in Germany in eighteen, sixty and move to England, when he was only six. He eagerly pursued art eventually teaching it at West. School of art, but it was his interest in portraying the darker aspects of victorian life that drew him to exploring the subject of sex workers and even murderers secret became fascinated with Jack. The ripper during his reign of terror, which prompted sicker to paint the peace Jack, the ripper bedroom. It's a chilling portrait of faceless man, backlit in a dark, so was secrets fascination with the White Chapel murderer more telling than at first glance. We think it's possible and we're not alone famed crime. Writer Patricia Cornwall published a book entitled portrait of a killer jack. The ripper case closed that's it's pretty definitive. Well, Cornwall assembled a team of forensic specialists to run test,

on dna samples collected from some potential jack. The ripper correspondence it should be noted that the letters were never confirm, you have been written and sent by Jack. The ripper Dna was extracted from them. Yes, my talk. Real dna to be exact and the IMF Delegation revealed that the DNA found on the letters matched some of the strange found on letters sicker had sent so the team compared secrets dna with the d, and I found on random jack the ripper letters may or may not have been written by the killer himself, exactly which gives us a possible link, but not a definitive one right. We have to address that. It is possible Walter sicker sent to suppose it jack the ripper letters that matched his dna since most of the letters, if not

all were deemed hoaxes anyway. Will that is part of the equation? Yes, but there is more that suggests. Sigurd could have been responsible for the killings. It is believed that Sigurd may have had a fistula on his penis. For those who don't know, a fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway that connects to organs or vessels that shouldn't normally connect from. And this would include Patricia Coronel believed that this abnormality on his penis may have made an impotent or, at the very least it could have frustrated him sexually and compromised his sense of masculinity. This could manifest in anger, directed at the opposite sex or a need to express his sexual desires in a way other than sex. You mean, like lust driven murder. If the words right out of my mouth. So basically it is the potentially incriminating dna evidence, Andy suppose it biological defect that suggest sicker could have been the infamous jack. Well, we

so can't forget his artistic obsession with Jack in the killings that is irrefutable, so it is, and that leads us to earth. Suspect the one where most confident in our final vote for Jack, the ripper here's what you need to know. First in eighteen, Andy for six years after Mary Kelly's murder, Melville MC, not the chief cause, both Scotland Yard, publish them not an memoranda. This document detailed three top suspects according to make not and his insider information. We, however, only going to focus on the one we believe has any real credibility that man is Drum roll please Erin cause Minsk men scheme was born in eighteen, sixty five in Russia. Uncontrolled Poland, where he spent most of his childhood his family

eventually emigrated to London around eighteen, eighty one, but it's his humble beginnings that shape to most growing up under russian rule at that time meant living in extreme poverty and oppression and written in violence and brutality daily. He most likely experienced this hatred in the community, which could have shaped his outlook on humanity as a whole are hardly mean Vanessa. Someone who grows up in a negative environment marked by social hatred, can develop a mindset in which violent acts against others become excusable normal. Even this would leave Kaminski to self justify any cruelty or crimes committed. Besides the harsh social environment, his family and his world basically consisted mostly of women. He was the only boy in a family of several sisters. His father either died or abandoned the family before the unit moved to London, so we didn't really have a strong

your presence in this life, some one to whom he could relate and go to with his mail centred questions. But that's very interesting because an absent father figure was noted in the nineteen eighty. Eight FBI profile of Jack, the ripper right and it is so generally very common for serial killers to have grown up without a strong male authority figure in their lives. So the absence of a father and his teenage years was probably already very damaging, but then, if we take into consideration the fact that he was surrounded by women who were all his relatives, things get even more interesting growing up the way he did in confined housing in the poor slums of Russia, Kaminski most likely had to share a bed with his sisters. There is a possibility that Kaminski may have developed sexual feelings towards his sisters, just by virtue of being in very close proximity to them, while he was going through puberty. If we look at this aspect mixed with the violence and crime, he most,

we witnessed in the community he could have been prone to merge these strange sexual feelings with violence with the signs are very well with checks, crimes driven by lust and hatred of women. He sought to destroy the feminine for not respect or preserve it, MC not an alluded to this. In his memoranda, this man became sane. Owing to many years indulgence and solitary vices, he had a great hatred of women, especially of the prostitute class, and had strong homicidal tenant following the murders in eighteen. Ninety one Kaminski was admitted call me hatch asylum, he had apparently not work for years, but may have, for some time been a barber, the police, surging doktor bond craft, a report after examining Mary Kelly's body. When we look at the document now we can see the doctor bond was demonstrating an early form of criminal profiling. He wrote assuming the murderer to be such a person, as I have just described. He would prefer

really be a man without regular occupation, both sums all income or pension. This speaks to the fact that he didn't appear to have steady work, while at the same The committee was evaluated. Doctors recorded that he'd engaged in public displays of masturbation and had attacked one of his sisters with a knife. The doctors also Cosmic Ski, suffered from audible, hallucinations and was guided by voices. We alluded to this. Possibility. When discussing the four main archetypes of the serial killer, the visionary killer is driven by psychosis, like voices or visual some nations so not only does Kaminski fit the profile of a hedonistic killer, one who kills for sexual excitement, but do too psychosis. He fits the profile of a visionary killers. Well, yes, based on his patient file from the asylum, so he fits at least two of the archetypes weave attributed to Jack the Ripper Sue, whatever

happened to consummate skill, his mental health continued to deteriorate. He lost a lot of weight because he wouldn't due to paranoia he D in an asylum in nineteen nineteen at the age of fifty three to Other high ranking police officials had also signed off Uncas Minsk has the killer so monotony suspicion was not operating in a vacuum, then cosmic ski was frequent on the tongues of british investigators, and he remains on the tongues of reparata, jests and other modern day historians. In two thousand fourteen author Wrestle Edwards presented new forensic evidence in his book naming jack. There but it seems to link Kaminski to the killings and based on his back story and the psychological evidence we believe Aaron cause Minsk. He is the most viable suspect listener What do you think tell us on PAR cast face a page or on twitter at PAR Cast network, the name Jack, the ripper,

Burma has become synonymous with the unsolved serial killer and he has, undoubtedly influence future serial killers, thereby several copycat murders inspired by here are two of the most famous from nineteen. Seventy five to nineteen eighty, a serial killer following pretty closely and Jack the Ripper footsteps killed thirteen women, several of whom were workers and he did it in Yorkshire, England, which helped him part of the name, the Yorkshire Ripper his real Ms Peter Sutcliffe, but he actually now goes by Peter Coonan. He was a loner as an adolescent dropped out of school at fifteen and did a bunch of menial jobs, one of which who did grave digging ass a teenager. He developed a bad habit of being avoided her and went off and spy on sex workers and their indiscretions. He told authorities He was on a mission from God to kill sex workers, so here was a mission oriented serial killer, very good, or at least that was his claim, but another possible

explanation is that he wanted to get revenge on sex workers after he had a bad experience with one a sex worker in her pimp apparent try to swindle money out of him. So this experience, combined with his history of watching sex workers, have sex with their clients was most likely. The impetus for his crime spring in nineteen, eighty one, the Yorkshire River, was convicted of murdering thirteen women he's been serving I'm ever since he is now in the seventies, and it's very likely he'll die in prison and then there's Derek Brown, a newspaper, delivery, man, from Lancashire England. He not only targeted sex workers but all Oh stop the same streets as his predecessor, Birthright Brown killed. Two women in white trouble. One was a sex worker. Another. A dvd seller police were confident that he was indeed trying to emulate Jack the Ripper. They discovered that Brown had checked out a library above called kill.

Where's, the most barbaric murderers of our time? They also found a murder kid, consisting of a both saw steam cleaner and some waterproof sheeting its believed. He chose his victims because he figured they were easy terms gets and no one would miss them. Forty eight year old Brown, a father of seven, had been previously convicted of rape and in two thousand eight he was convicted murders of sound may dwell and Bonnie bear it and sentenced to life in prison, the legacy of jack. The ripper goes beyond the arena of copycat killers, to the realm of popular culture where he has infiltrated literature, including comic books, graphic novels, theatre, film and tv art, music and even video games. Inspired by Jack Straw,

The ripper tourists to choose in every evening tours people can actually stand on the very locations on the skills and visit some of the old local that were popular during the time, Jack wages, terrifying debut. If we think about Jack the ripper and consider the ripple effect which has occurred in history in crime and in popular culture, we see that he has permeated nearly every corner of the social consciousness.

Often when a person thinks of Jack the ripper he or she immediately envisions a man dressed in black coat wearing a felt hat and possibly carrying a medical bag. His shadow of leading into the darkness that surrounds this is one of the quintessential images we have of him and when we think of it, like that, Jack becomes more of a caricature, more like a creature of the night, similar to something like Dracula, exactly Believin, Freddy Krueger, a character from a horror story, not a man of flesh and blood, and maybe we need this image. So we can distance ourselves from the real our cities he committed, which, if we really think about it, are just too difficult to bear. Maybe that's how Jack was able to garner such a fan base. If we want to use that word, we helped him. We actually created his larger than life monster like persona to in some small way, shield us from the warped human being. He actually was to make him more

digestible and, dare I say, negatively intriguing that may be partly true, but one thing we can't deny is that he was a human being, he did live, he did kill and he did escape, maybe not forever. He may have died in that asylum and nineteen nineteen, or maybe you didn't. Maybe he moved away then lived out his days until death claimed him much later.
