- In this video I am joined by Jonathan Tye whose researches with Jurriaan Masseen have uncovered another possible suspect for the mantle of having been Jack the Ripper.
The suspects name was Edward Buckley, an East End thug and gang member who frequently demonstrated a propensity to violence.
Jonathan takes us step by step through his researches and tells how he first encountered Edward Buckley before presenting the case for his candidature for having been Jack the Ripper.
In the video we mention Jonathan's article in the magazine "Crime Through Time" which can be accessed through the following link. mangobooks.co.uk/products/cri...
Also, if you wish to follow Jonathan's ongoing research you can access it via the following Jack The Ripper Forums link. www.jtrforums.com/articles/60...
God Whitechapel was teaming with dodgey potential killers in the 1880s
Well it was the worst slum on earth at that time, so no wonder.
😂😂😂😂
A rookery is a right horrorshow place to raise a rookerful of kroovy milkmen, my brother
In 1887 there was only 7 murders in the whole of the Eastend
But being violently disposed towards woman does not make him the ripper ,life was cheap there of course.
Buckley seemed to be a man who usually was in need of money. I don't recall the Ripper victims being robbed of money and/or of anything that may have had a bit of value. Also, although Buckley was a violent man, he seems to have lacked the blood-lust of the Ripper.
I didn't think of that Alexa
Good points for thinking on
I think he and his brothers were the 2-3 men who attacked and mugged Emma Elizabeth Smith, who is probably not a Ripper victim. We know the Ripper interacted with at least two of his victims (Stride and Eddowes) prior to killing them; would they really have not been put off by either his demeanor or his reputation? IDK, Buckley here just seems very... *public* and not all that shy about his crimes or violent tendencies. I can't see this man going from this kind of criminal background (including pretty significant assaults) to trying to hide Nichols' wounds, y'know? It just seems very much like something an amateur would do.
Edit: typo
All the Ripper victims seemed to have emptied their pockets before hand. They were found with no money and sweets or thread found around them, like they were ordered to empty their pockets before the attack.
Agree doesn't seem to fit the crime.
I dont think Edward is the man, but BTK stopped killing when he was too old for it.. Zodiack stopped killing, and so did Joseph deangelo when he got too old for it. Serial killers do retire sometimes.
Really interesting chat. I love hearing about the social history of the common folk 👍🏻
Interesting suspect, interesting story and interesting theory, but is he Jack the Ripper?...... my gut says no.
Every violent guy in the East End could potentially be Jack.
Hundreds of them would have known all the side streets et al like the back of their hands. Also probable is their familiarity with the pubs and patrons, making it highly likely that the victims were known to several villains at the time of the murders.
Pulling Buckley out of the mix and centering focus on him seems a little hopeful. You'd never get a conviction in a Court of Law for merely being a thug and an acquaintance of this one and that one!
everybody cant eat part of the kidney or be a cannibal though
@@ps123fanwhat’s your point? That because someone’s supposedly a cannibal that makes them JTR?
One glaring omission is the fact that Buckley had no known anatomical knowledge or surgical skill.
It was a butcher who worked t the end of the road. He left in early hours to walk to work, wearing a bloodied apron and lived to old age
@@elainebines6803Charles Allen Lechmere is the best suspect by far.
The whole theory that the Ripper had anatomical or surgical skill was due to a comment from ONE doctor of the time. Like every other "theory" about the Ripper, they are all based on supposition.
One could argue just as convincingly that any garden variety meat butcher---of which there were many in Whitechapel----could have anatomical or surgical knowledge of the type seen in these murders.
As a Buckley I can't express how happy and joyous I am to find out I finally have a ripper suspect in my family line. Also, how many suspects are we up to now 200, 300?😊
The Irish Cockney were a unique breed of Irish, weren't they (We), lol. I had a great grand-uncle who swore up and down that he was once Lord Mayor of London, lol!
I would be devastated, not happy and joyous
Thank you, Richard. I always look forward to new theories and new suspects. Never gets old, even when the suspects or theories are absolute rubbish. (e.g., Lewis Carroll). Of all my CZcams notifications, I think I look forward to yours the most because I know it something positive and enjoyable.
Very interesting. Amazing research! Very well put across. Thank you!
Compelling case. Thank you for putting this interview up
Personally I don't think the ripper would have been an openly violent man. He would be known to police and other people so it would be a risk. I'm sure with his record, if the police thought he could be the ripper they would have been watching him. Look at every serial killer. Most are very private. The types of people that friends or neighbours would say "I'm shocked". That's why they go under the radar and able to keep killing
This is an interesting take. Many serial killers "build" up to murder; they don't start there. Peeping into houses becomes petty theft becomes assault becomes sexual assault becomes murder becomes gruesome mutilation.
Got to the 20 minute mark and there's zero comparison to Jack other than Buckley was a violent killer type. In Whitechapel, that made him very common.
He seems to fit the type very well. The problem is that too many people from that freakin' place to fit the profile.
I'd suggest watch the whole thing, there are other connections that don't get brought up until later
Surely Buckley would be well known in the area and would have been easily identified if seen with one of the victims
This is so darn interesting. Thank you. Amazing research! ❤
Very interesting interview.
The actual research and the collaboration invoved is the way forward.
Jonathan is very good, and Richard of course is spot on with his presentation and questions, as always.
While by no means is it definitive, I think it is a more deliberative investigation then the early clamoring for celebrity to be the Ripper
Interesting. I'm an agnostic when it comes to named suspects. But looking at early murders that are similar is definitely an interesting idea. Though there is progression in the canonical five murders, there still seems to be a practiced behaviour, which suggests he has been violent before.
Completely absorbing, well presented plus researched and mercifully devoid of sensationalism.
Devoid of evidence of any kind too !
@@2msvalkyrie529there’s only so much evidence you can get from that era, and I think they’ve researched it excellently.
Very interesting! Will be good to see more of this when you uncover it
Amazing research! Its such a fascinating case and period in time, love the channel the host as the most perfect soothing voice for narration and podcasts 👍
I don’t believe in any way he’s the ripper but researching years before the ripper era is brilliant because we do research the ripper in a vacuum
Really interesting, so many facts that listening to Jonathan Tye, you are straight back to the East End at the later end of the 1800s. Unfortunately there is little or no evidence to associate Edward Buckley with the Ripper.
Very interesting ...Nut job of the time and a realistic suspect that we have not come across for years. Will follow this ongoing suspect. The late Chris Scott done great research as mentioned. Great Stuff.
Yes! The period Tye is researching is the most interesting. I have wanted to know more about earlier crimes and murders that could have led up to the Conical 5. Tye may get some earlier murders, many both 1/2 ruled in and 1/2 ruled out, linked, or removed more clearly from the C5.
Really interesting theory… very well put together
This channel is unique. I appreciate it. Because its the only one ehich gives respectful time yo each person who comes on to share their research. Thus giving us all, firstly, all the suspects in one place, and, secondly, an unbiased overview of all the theories, and thus the information needed -and then the dignity -to make up our own minds. The only other person I’ve seen do this, is Tom Voigt who has collated all the facts around the Zodiac killer. He’s done it differently, yet it feels the same- just a fair go , and a forum, to everyone who had differing theories, plus a collation of all the actually known facts. Its highly adult . Like this channel
Please, please correct that typo 'yo' that was meant to mean 'to', I almost couldn't read on for the repulsive connotations that 'word' has.
Great info - I love your channel!
Brilliant insight into this period in history 👍 thank you gentlemen, very enjoyable.
I am an alcoholic. (Sober now). Im also a fourth generation alcoholic. The brutally against the chosen weaker ones that I’ve seen is unbelievable. Because underneath the drinking compulsion lay terror and rage. I know this from experience not theory. So this IS interesting. Especially the displaced anger-taking it out on ither people from the one whom you really hate (which is also classic serial killer behaviour- see Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway and Joe DaAngelo the Golden State Killer fir just a few, plus John Douglas’s conclusion from all the serial killers he interviewed ). Its also common in my experience, in the alcoholics I’ve known. Ps- its also been common in the control addicts who married the alcoholics in my family. So… him going into a rage for a while and killing a few women when his woman wont give him a child, is so NOT far fetched. Very interesting. I will keep an eye out for future investigations on this man
Right, he searched before 1888 to look for a suspect not knowing if The Ripper would have been in the papers or not, found a suspect and then looked for evidence. Not exactly the scientific method. He still had his suspect and tunnel vision
Not exactly. There is a science to it. Reasonable to assume Ripper had previous. Earlier, though less violent, attacks might be in the newspapers. Only problem, newspapers were full of court cases of men attacking women, domestic or otherwise. And that’s just of the cases reported. Needle in a haystack job, and fruitless if attacker, potential Ripper, never appeared in print.
@@davekeating. There's also reason to believe Jack the Ripper may have been a spree killer rather than a serial killer, which means he probably *wouldn't* have had many, if any, prominent encounters with law enforcement prior to 1888.
Possibly a book on the way? 😂
Thanks for sharing new video of Jack the Ripper.
So he gets caught for all the minor crimes he committed, but manages to evade capture for the more heinous ones? Possible I suppose, but highly unlikely.
Yes the case against a great many of these suspects is very thin. I have been watching some on another fellow named Lechmere and the evidence is as thin as gruel. Apart from the fact that he found the first victim the rest of it is all conjecture and extrapolation.
Loved this one.
Wow, this was so interesting. I’ll be sending the link to my Buckley cousins in Co. Cork, Ireland. I’m sure he’s no relation as Buckley is quite a common surname but who knows. Well done Jonathan, well researched all 👍🏻
Not convincing enough for me that's a big jump from pickpocket to butchering a human being
Saw Jonathan a month ago at the East End Crime conference. He presented us with a very detailed lecture .
Beautiful work Jon. Beckley certainly does seem to fit the description of the man described as having the “carroty mustache” and perhaps “blotchy” face seen in frame / pic 34:50 what appears to be a (blotch) mark on the upper right cheek near ear. He is also stout, lived in and had a common knowledge of the area, and showed characteristics of a man who could potentially be a serial killer. If I am not mistaken a later (post 1888) description given has a man with grey eyes (I remember reading this in casebook somewhere.) Also, do you think that it is possible that ole Buckley and perhaps his brothers may have been the ones who viciously attacked Emma Smith? Some do attribute this attack as a possible early work of Jack the Ripper, and would make sense if his brothers were involved and why they never came forward. Anyway, another great video Richard, and I commend Jon on all his fantastic research and hard work that he put into this. I am sure that as time goes by we will learn even more about this man, Buckley and I can’t wait to hear it.
Five minutes in and this gentleman has already admitted that he started with a suspect and then built a case from there.
How not to solve a crime 101.
Or "How not to do History 101".
Oh he did not just say he was on genealogy sites just looking for a stab*ing. "Help! Help! I need a new person not done before to get on the JTR train!"
@@carolanndenton5933 I feel a pattern emerging. Do you take some...Cream...in your coffee? Eh? Eh? I'll stop now.
@@carolanndenton5933 Did he have regular...Carrolls...singing outside his shop every Christmas? Or was he just an unfortunate, mere Lech?
(sorry couldn't help myself).
Police do this all the time. Look for a likely candidate. THEN see if suspect fits in any way. Legit.
Interesting stuff. Looking at old records the coffee shop at 235 Whitechapel Road was the Lord Napier public house between 1860’s and 1930’s ?
wow! I have not seen Richard Jones in forever! so glad to see him on the CZcamsz now. I remember seeing him on TV shows on the television machine.
Fantastic
Thank you - I found this interesting, even though I do not think he was the Ripper. There may well be traces of other crimes that haven't been linked before he hit the big stage, as it were.
This is an interesting theory. Very well put together. I do have two individuals I suspect and a third who vies for second place.
The guy who murdered the women was in fact a slaughterer working at the end of the road where he in fact met a policeman just after he killed a prostitute... His apron was bloody but because of where he worked the policeman just assumed animal blood. He even had the audacity to chat to the policeman. Edit: the guy lived to old age and became a grandfather 🤔
DNA from her scarf matched this guy's descendants when they tested it a few years back. Keeps getting memory-holed for some reason.
Charles Lechmere. Yes part of this is true. He was present at one murder victim. The DNA may or may not be sigificant.
Very interesting. I love the research, but “handy with a knife & quite violent towards his woman” doesn’t really make him stand out as a suspect over his brothers or violent friends, let alone other thugs in the area. To the contrary, it seems like the Ripper would have been more of an embittered loner.
Buckley is a brute and doesn't seem very bright. He is a typical street thug whereas the crimes of the ripper seem to point to someone meticulous with a fairly thorough knowledge of anatomy for the time. Also there was no theft at the ripper crime scenes and Buckley was a known common street thief.
Yeah, im half way through and have dound zero evidence to convince me he could be the ripper, and some things that make me think hes not a candidate. For instance je says most of his acts of violence was towards authority figures. When i think of the ripper, i think of a coward that took out his hate on woman. The defenseless ones. Not a scary predator stalking the night. More of a violent coward skulking in the night.
Like Rex h
Always good to hear some new thinking on the solution to the murders, but what we really need is some solid evidence, which seems unlikely to be produced after so long. The case is so cold it's frozen.
Hmmm... very interesting indeed! Many thanks :)
Thanks for the photos of Hanbury St., particularly 29. You should dig up the short documentary made with actor James Mason, showing 29 Hanbury St. before it was leveled and replaced with a new building. It used to be on CZcams but I believe it's been removed.
A nasty piece of work for sure, but not really the sort of man that I would expect the Ripper to be. I am open to being proved wrong of course.
He was caught often for far lesser crimes so his being drunk likely would have been his undoing if he were the Ripper!
To me, this man looks frightening. I get chills looking at him.
Enjoyed the video and the research involved is excellent. Personally I think someone with such alcohol dependence would not have had a clear enough head and more importantly steady enough hand, to use the precision that was recorded in some of the murders. Think its amazing the amount of recorded history of this man though and certainly a colorful character of the time and area.
I know this is not relevant to the conversation, but I must acknowledge Jonathan Tye looks damn near identical to the filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich (at least from this angle).
Very Interesting.
The full face photo of Edward Buckley struck me as familiar immediately. Have you seen that full figure photograph of a man standing in a backyard, near a short fence? This photo is associated with the Crippen case but I don't remember this man's name. I don't remember if he was a policeman, a suspect or both. But the faces are so much alike.
Charles Allen Lechmere. He's by far the best suspect for JTR.
Interesting character. Thanks for sharing.
WAS SAID RIPPER “Medical Skilled” due to anatomical precision removal ? What’s the link of such to Edward ?
As always very interesting. Not sure if this is “Jack the Ripper”, but as the interviewee says still a lot of research to do. I would have expected more violent crimes against women, other than Francis of course.
Very interesting. I think though a good scenario to possibly identify Jack would be to come across a guy standing over one of the victims who had been so recently murdered that she was still warm and had not yet even lost a substantial amount of blood, ie Lechmere!
Very interested in finding out more about lechmere?
I really thought that was a breakthrough but apart from some inconsistencies with times and movement and contention of why Lechmere gave his stepfathers name to the police there is very little to tie him to the crime and there are no real links to the other four either.
Sorry but not impressed with this hypothesis at all. Buckley was a violent thug for sure, but the kind of psychotic blood lust shown by the Ripper is an entirely different thing. The Ripper would have been an unassuming loner who would have been considered a bit odd by anyone who did notice him, not the human wrecking ball Edward seemingly was. He would have subdued the victims by beating them into submission before cutting their throats, not by strangling them.
Additionally, there's no way a killer shows the kind of mental degradation from Nichols to Kelly and then just stop. Whoever the Ripper was, he either died, was incapacitated, incarcerated or left the area not long after Kelly's murder.
…OR, he kept on killing in the same area, doing away with for example Liz Jackson.
It's possible that Buckley could be responsible for some of the murders (or any unsolved murders not attributed to Jack the Ripper). With his crimes being known to the police, he would had to have been questioned by them (either as a suspect or a witness).
Very interesting take on the social climate at that time. My money is still on Lechmere/Cross, but, who knows?.... Still,... very enjoyable video as always
Great respect to Mr. Tye for as good as saying that all any of us can have so long after the events are suspects. Thanks to him and his colleagues for their research and work into this individual.
However, l have always considered the Whitechapel killer to be an organ collector who had killed many times, probably in the counties around the city, in order to pursue his insane ambitions.
Those ambitions were, l think, medical in nature and, l also think that the last murder, which has all the hallmarks of a dissection, is compelling evidence that suggests this.
People went missing far more easily in those days.
But would an organ collector be that sadistic?
I've got to say he sounds just like my old man who thankfully is at least six feet under. How I survived I have no idea but he lead a charmed life til he was 85. Then it all came out and we're still wading through the muck.
This guy is very knowledgable and very well researched. I found this very interesting and very informative. And he doesn’t seem to be one of this hacks who bend the facts to fit their pet theory, which is very refreshing. But I don’t buy i to the idea that Buckley was the Ripper.
It’s the same with a lot of suspects whose names get put forward. The fact that he was known to the police for violence towards women and had a criminal record makes me wonder why the police weren’t all over him like a rash at the time of the Whitechapel murders. They were checking out all sorts of people who had a history of violence and even anybody they could find known to own a sharp knife. Why hasn’t his name come to the surface sooner? If he was a credible suspect I would have thought his name would have come up as a suspect at the time.
I always felt that if the Ripper was someone well known, well documented or known to the police already he would have been investigated at the time and we’d have known about them all along. The fact that we don’t have a clue who he is suggests to me that the Ripper was probably someone seemingly insignificant, someone who was completely unknown to the police (if he’d attempted to kill before, probably wasn’t caught) and someone who was so ordinary and anonymous nobody would have suspected him. It was probably someone who had no known history and was outwardly so ordinary it was unreal. Which means it could have been any one of thousands of people whose identity we will never know.
I’m fascinated by the murders. I’m fascinated by the history, the people involved and the social backdrop of the time. I’m interested in what could have motivated or inspired such terrible murders. But I strongly believe that unless an unquestionably verifiable signed confession turns up, we’ll never know who it was.
That being said, many of the names that have been put forward have been interesting characters in their own right, as is Buckley, who I’d have never learned about had it not been for Ripperologists bringing their names forward, so I’ve still learned a lot.
Not at all convincing. There's only one suspect that can be placed at a murder scene. Buckley's reputation would have rendered him conspicuous on the streets and not able to melt into the background.
everyone that found a victim was alone with the body at 1 point so that not proof the Lechmere did it
@@user-dc4uk5gw8d Yes was gets me about Lechmere that those who think he committed the crime point to the fact that he wouldn't have left the scene in case he drew attention to himself but would have stayed and pretended he had found the body which I believe does not fit in with most killers who hear someone approaching.
It will remain an unsolved case, so much question of reliability of evidence. No. of realistic suspects. Reality is happened so long ago a verdict would be hard to reach if you took the case to the Old Bailey in London. Makes interesting historical debate though.
Think this guys too violent to be a viable suspect.
The horrific nature of the murders and how each became more gruesome seems more akin to the serial psychopath killer profile, not a drunken violent pick pocket. But prove me wrong.
No one with any understanding of criminal psychology would, because you're 100% correct. Buckley was a violent thug. Jack was a psychopath, essentially coming apart with each kill. Two very different animals.
Doesn't look like any of the eye witnesses descriptions.
Good point!
U can't trust eyewitnesses,they say this they say that and then they switch it up,jtr can't be stout,the guy was swift especially at night with over dozens of bobbies,impossible
Several of the victims were described as being in the company of a well dressed apparently wealthy man prior to their deaths. There is an awful of of conjecture about Lechmere and Buckley but I am more inclined to go with the evidence given by eye witnesses.
You'd also have to dismiss Anderson's Polish Jew description.
I live near Saratoga, and there's always rich out of towners willing to rent your house for the racing season. Some people pay their property taxes on what they make in the racing season, renting out their homes. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a rich game for pickpockets there. I wouldn't know for sure since I don't gamble, and horses make me sneeze, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Edward Buckley has shades of a peaky blinder about him, slash first and ask questions later.
Ma'am, what's a peaky blinder? I'm from Georgia, USA.
Expect he wasn't known to carry a knife. The use of his family though to intimidate us very PB.
Exactly. Trd Bundy was killing undetected before he lost all control and went in a concentrated spree. Thats nit uncommon - that a person either kills or attacks bit by bit then it ramps up as his/ her madness ramps up
He sure did lose it. He knew it wasn't long before his time was up. He tried to get as many in before being caught.
Indeed, but he'd already moved far past forks and pickpocketing before he even left his teen years. Street crime/pick pocketing/petty gangs as a grown adult just suddenly switches to this kind of pattern SK? Lol no.
This is what happens when you have no training in history and not even any layman's knowledge in profiles.
Oh..oh he's pickpocketing on the day of Mary Kelly? LMAO. No.
You're pretty much bang on, you don't go from, say, mugging to MJK in an afternoon. Bundy was a trapped animal by the end, he had escaped from confinement twice and the police knew who he was. This is not true for Jack the Ripper since we know he operated in and out of regular police patrols. They didn't know his name, occupation or face, they merely had suspects@@taranullius9221 We know because of Jack's ferocity that he was repressing his urges. We know by this he had a strong will. In fact, we know because of this unwillingness to get caught, his ability to hide and constrain this madness... for this alone is why he is known as a mystery, or a cold case, rather than a full name.
Never seen a detailed plan of where these suspects lived in relationship to where the murders were committed. What was their occupation and family background
I personally dont know what to think with this case. It keeps me awake at night. Who was he ? Drives me bonkers
Swanson said they knew it was Kosminski, they just couldn't prove it. Surely that's enough.
Leave it alone for a while and come back to it. A lot of what's written about the case does not stand up to close inspection. I find a break helps clear my mind.
I can tell you several definite facts about the ripper that might help you figure it out.
He had arms.
He lived in London.
And he definitely owned a pair of shoes.
Well, it wasn't Lester Piggott for starters...
It was Maybrick… Proven with a contemporary diary, containing information only the killer would know
It's not that men and women were murderd in the east end.. Stabbed mostly.. But the manner in which the ripper butchered his victims. We'd call it, over the top nowadays, that shocked even those hardened people back then. Respect was given not only to those who could give a beating, but to those who could take one... Jack was too much even for those dark times.
I was excited when I saw this video but I have to say, I don't get this as a suspect at all.
no not convinced that Buckley is the was the ripper. From everything you have said he was just a violent Alcoholic. , There must have been hundreds in the East End like him. Being of London Irish hertige I will say Buckleys behaviour is very common still today
I think the MO is wrong, the ripper appears to win over the victim then strangles the victim unconscious, Edward is a loose canon, explosive and unpredictable.
What was the name of the suspect who once lived in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire? I believe that he later emigrated to Australia where he was hung for a murder or murders committed there, possibly of one or more of his family.
Many thanks for any assistance you can give. I recall a TV programme about him some years ago but sadly Google is not helping me track him down.
Frederick deeming.
Other than he was a violent piece of work, in the right area, at the right time, what connects him to Jack the Ripper? This could be a hundred other guys. Physical descriptions of a man seen with Ripper victims describe a tall man. This guy is 5’4”-6”.
'An unfortunate'. It's a great word for describing the economical system.
Prostitution was so common, violence was so common. I reckon that if this suspect has anything to do with the White Chapel murders, it's as a gang of pimps to whom these unfortunate owed money.
One shouldn't forget that pimps and brothels pay the police. That would further explain how he gets away with his crimes against women - and explain, too, why it was common for women to be insulted and assaulted in the streets - to such an extent that the 'unfortunate' (not even able to make it to the level of a lowlife criminal pimp in the capitalistic society) was 'served well' by the newspaper.
Hiya Richard, how come my comment has been taken off The Ghost Bus vlog? it wasn't that bad, did you notice Jonathan never called you Richard once, its good that these days where trying to find out who Jack The Ripper is, trying to find out whereabouts where the suspects were at the time, quite unreal really, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England
Hi Choppy. I haven't taken off any of your comments.
What did it say?
@@JackTheRipperTours It was along the lines of how can a bus be a ghost, when its not a living thing in the first place, a ghost is someone who hasn't accepted the fact that he or she is dead yet, say Richard that's the comment I made
I don't think I saw that one. I certainly didn't delete it. Feel free to post it again if you wish.
@@paulguise698 CZcams delete comments sometimes for no apparent reason. Maybe some keywords but it appears to be hit and miss.
So this claim's primary piece of evidence is a modern artist's impression of a knife wound to a victim's face, and the supposed similarity it has to another victim's wound? How can that be considered of any validity?
Hi Richard! You know, I'm not seeing the "droop" of his mouth that was mentioned. With Bell's paulsy and stroke the whole side of the face, including the eye on that side would droop. I'm not seeing that here in the 1900s mug shor.
Francis Tumbelty or Walter Sickart although my head has always said Tumbelty .
I tend to think it was a middle class professional with medical knowledge rather than men such as Buckley and Lechmere. Several of the victims were described as being last seen with a well dressed apparently well off man prior to their death.
Funny thing is, is he's probably someone who's never been mentioned or ever will. Buried somewhere with a headstone worn away by time.
Jack would be like any other serial killer he just didnt start killing he was doing it before but didnt get credit until jack the ripper and i bet the killer went ill be remembered forever , and from hell i think was a reporters work
Nothing here to suggest Buckley had a compulsion to "rip' women, remove organs and delight in gore and entrails.
Unlikely suspect, but I do love how the ripperology phenomenon has gotten historians to do these micro histories on shady characters and London geography.
I'm always up for a new Ripper suspect! I was just telling someone today that I hope they never find the actual killer because the mystery is so impeccably compelling that if new technology somehow one day figures it out, it'll ruin everything. Just the clues, the psychological aspects and profiles of the killer, is whole a cottage industry unto itself! What a let down if we ever actually get the answer.
Ruin everything? People died. It's not a game.
Was this guy the subject of a TV programme 2/3 years ago.
It drives me mad Richard not knowing who he was . Im perplexed by it and always will be 😮
At no point did any of the JtR witnesses report seeing a man with a beard.
Judges were Lenient with Edward , Is it possible he was a police informer? Hence his swagger.
So many options for who the ripper was. Some of which are quite compelling. Maybe the ripper was more than one person? A ripper club?
Sorry I know I'm getting to this video late, I never did get this notification but...
If you're saying that the no Whitechapel murders in October could be, if Buckley is your suspect, because he was out of London at Croydon or other racing venues? If that could be the case, were there ever any similar murders of prostitutes or more vulnerable women in those places at those times?
This guy might be right but he has to make his theory make sense. Hes so excited that hes stuttering and all over the place. The interviewer tries to help him stay focused but its no use.
