  • Jack the Ripper. In this episode, Fred Dinenage takes a journey back to the poverty stricken East End of 1888 and speaks to Ripperologists about the continuing fascination behind the Jack the Ripper mystery. With interviews from historian John Bennett and author Linda Stratmann, we tell the story of life in the East End and what could have led to some of the most horrendous murders of the 19th Century. We also discover a new suspect who maybe the man we have been looking for.

    To be fair, given the dismal water sanitation, it was probably often safer to drink alcohol

      I know that was true for most of history which is why even kids drank alcohol. They watered down wine or drank ale and mead for most of it. It was only if you had a clean stream or a decent well that you could count on the water. I've heard historians go back and forth about how bad the water really was and when people did or did not drink water. Too bad they didn't know about boiling water. I think that would have killed most things.

    I have been on the Ripper tour, and it was a thrill, the guide was very knowledgeable, his way of describing the murders were spine-chilling.

    Another reason the killer was able to make his getaway so easily is that Victorian London at the time was really dark, especially in a low-income area like Whitechapel. Streetlamps are expensive. You could be half a block away and not see him.

    Possibly the reason that the man named William Webber (Milkman), his wife and daughter moved to Hartlepool, North England from London is because they were trying to move away from the East End Lo London, where the Poverty and Crime was so bad at the time. Especially, living in Whitechapel where Jack the Ripper was killing. My interest in the Jack the Ripper, is that my bloodline ancestors were living in Whitechapel at the time. I know that they moved to WestHam, Essex soon after and I believe they too were trying to get away from this Notorious area where Jack the Ripper roamed.

    @brianbommarito3376 Před rokem +51

    Here’s a possible theory, not about the identity of the killer, but about his motive, psychologically: when you know what the killer’s motive was, it usually helps to point to the identity of the murderer. The official belief was that the Ripper was a sexual deviant and killing those poor women and obliterating their corpses was how he got his kicks. But I think that might be at least partly wrong. What he did was evil and sick, that I agree. But what if he was enacting a different kind of fantasy on his victims. I think he might have been a social deviant, (a Narcissist or psychopath at the very least) instead of a sexual one, and I think there was someone in his close circle, his personal life, who he couldn’t harm but very much wanted too. A relative or spouse perhaps. And probably female, because no man was ever killed by the Ripper, as far as we know. He’s cognizant enough to know the police will focus on him if anything bad happens to this person, but he is emotionally immature enough that he doesn’t dismiss the evil and dwells on it to the point that he feels he must act, to release the violent rage inside him. So he goes out and kills complete strangers instead. And these unfortunate women happened to be quite common in the place where he lived and worked. He had nothing against his victims personally. He was fantasizing about murdering someone else, and was using them.

    So the only real note was the one with the kidney. And he was unlikely to be a foreigner, bc the last victim was killed at a time when people were already afraid of it being a foreigner. One last thing, it is not a certainty that he stopped bc he was incapacitated in some way: there are cases of serial killers who stopped not because they were dead/incarcerated etc, but bc they stopped, for a while... the while can be some years. It is also of note that the last victim was mutilated especially viciously; perhaps he had reached whatever he was reaching for, and took a break.

      That simply isn't true. It's a myth that serial killers don't stop, because there have been quite a few who did. One notable one was BTK, who stopped because he had a close call and didn't want to get caught. The exact same thing might have happened to Jack the Ripper. We don't know why he did what he did - apart from the standard pseudoscientific profiling explanations - so we don't know why he stopped.

Feeling satisfied, he may not have started up again until much later on,( maybe years) and somewhere else. By this then his M.O. may have changed somewhat,as well.

Most of them age out to the point where they become too old to physically put in the work, or their sex drive/need to kill decreases significantly, as it does for most of us when we get older, or they don’t have time anymore due to having kids and not being able to sneak out of the house, or for any number of reasons.

    this case may still be able to be solved yes it will be hard to do BUT the man i know was the ripper left London in 1891 if we can find where he went we should be able to find more murders once thats done if we can link him to any new murders its should be enough to show in a court and to the world he was the ripper. I have been studying serial murder for years and when i looked into this case i had not read anything on this case but i knew i needed to use todays tools to find the ripper and that just what i did he was not that hard to find because of what i have learned. i looked at all the suspects and this man is the only man who fit in everyway to what we know as a lust killer on top of that he was the right age lived in the middle of the murders and involved himself in the case with a statement he was scared into making. had a woman named Sara Lewis not seen him and told police we would never hear of this man. after hear he was seen he went to police with his statement that was three days after the murder and Inquest. I saw in his Statement his Ego was huge and shined bright as he told his tail. this mans name was George Hutchinson he was a friend of Mary Kelly and saw and talked to her the night he killed her. One of the things we see with this type of killer is they kill strangers but if they kill a known person they will cover the face and body and sometimes destroy it there were two victims this happened to Mary Kelly and Kate Eddowes and he knew them both. there is lots more that tie him to these murders i found but its long to go into it here. I am not doing this to make money or write a book i am doing it for the victims and their families as i am sick of seeing the rats of this world make money off victims. there are police that also know this man is the killer but they would rather keep the case going so they and others can make money. You people can believe who you want but the man Known as Jack the ripper was George Hutchinson.

  • @missyrose2154
    @missyrose2154 Před rokem +28

    After studying Jack for many years and watching every video that ever came out on him I am left with two theories …
    The first is that Jack was Charles Allen Lechmere . He was the one who “discovered” Polly but in my opinion based on inconsistencies in his stories , the lie about his identity and his ties to each crime scene he didn’t discover her he was discovered with her after he killed her .
    But my other theory that has been growing stronger for a while is that there was no Jack The Ripper. I know I know that would kill the fun and mystery of one of the biggest murder mysteries of all time but I have my reasons .
    First many myself included don’t believe Polly was victim 1 if there was in fact a single serial killer . I believe it was likely Martha Tabrum. But let’s say Polly was first . In my mind Lechmere was most certainly her killer. But the others could be the work of other killers using the mass hysteria over a viscous serial killer to carry out their own violent acts and hoping to pin it on “THE” madman of the day . The double event in my mind is hugely important because while some argue Jack was interrupted with victim 1 that night I think it’s possible she wasn’t a Jack victim at all but the work of someone else . Then to say he suddenly appeared elsewhere still wanting blood to me is a stretch. And with Mary Kelly her murder doesn’t fit with the others . It was done inside not outside and the amount of mutilation to me indicates it was a crime of passion a deeply personal crime . I’m not saying it’s impossible but I just don’t think some random person who have done that to another . My money is on Mary’s boyfriend at the time . But of course others argue she was his “masterpiece” a culmination of his sickest desires and once he was done he was done but to me that’s ridiculous. Serial killers don’t stop at least not forever unless they die or are caught . To suggest he stopped with 5 is laughable. If in fact there was a single killer to me there had to be other victims before Polly like Martha and after Mary who he could have killed . There are other ripper like murders that occurred in America suggesting he could have taken his act abroad . Lechmere himself lived a good long life if he was in fact Jack he likely had many other victims the police did not want to pin on Jack so that the hysteria would fade . Whatever the truth Lechmere, A different Jack or no Jack at all. Or 5 London murder victims , many other London victims or an international serial killer . I don’t think the mystery is ever going anywhere .
    White chapel at the time was hell and full of a lot of seedy and disturbed people. It is most definitely possible there were multiple killers in the area either just doing their thing or using the cover of the Jack story to commit their crimes and hope the police pinned it on the boogy man. But it’s also possible there was one lone crazed psycho . I don’t think we will ever know for sure

NO - COMPLETELY WRONG , he was NOT IN FRANCE , OR EUROPE , during the murders !!. He was SQUARELY in LONDON , PROBABLY WHITECHAPEL !!!. . He had ESCAPED from BROADMOOR INSANE ASYLUM , IN JANUARY , 1888 .

THIS WAS IN SEPTEMBER 1883 . TO ME , POSSIBLY THE VERY 1ST " JACK THE RIPPER " MURDER , VERY POSSIBLY , OCCURRED IN SEPTEMBER 1883 , WITH THE GRUESOME MURDER OF HIS WIFE !!!. HE WAS SPARED THE DEATH PENALTY , BY A VERY SKINNY HAIR , AND WAS LOCKED AWAY IN BROADMOOR INSANE ASYLUM , UNTIL HIS ESCAPE FROM BROADMOOR INSANE ASYLUM IN JANUARY 1888 !!!. ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER , AFTER FINDING WORK , AND A CHEAP PLACE TO HIDE , DISAPPEAR , AND LIVE , " ALL HELL " BREAKS LOOSE , WITH THE EXTREMELY " PIQUERISTIC " MURDER OF MARTHA TABRAM ( VICIOUSLY STABBED 39 TIMES !! ) , ( VERY POSSIBLY , NO TIME , OR NO CHANCE , TO MUTILATE , OR REMOVE UTERUS , OR OTHER ORGANS ) , AND SOON AFTER , ALL OF THE OTHER " RIPPER " VICTIMS ALSO !!!. He actually was a. very big suspect , in the case , that for some reason , SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS , BUT NOT WITH ME !!!. Almost certainly a " PIQUERIST " , " MUTILATIONIST " , with the PERFECT JOB , an upholstery " STRIPPER " , for many years !!!. He could INDULGE HIS " PIQUERISTIC " , " MUTILATIONIST " , "SEXUAL FANTASIES , at work , until it became too much , and he needed a HUMAN VICTIM ( WHITECHAPEL PROSTITUTES ) , probably between every 2 - 6 weeks or so !!. HE WAS ALSO A KNOWN PROSTITUTE - HATER , IN A BIG WAY !!!. This suspect , JAMES KELLY , makes a MEGA - TON OF SENSE !!!. JAMES KELLY SPENT ALMOST 37 YEARS IN AMERICA , CHANGING HIS NAME , AND COMPLETE IDENTITY , IMMEDIATELY TO JOHN MILLER ( HIS REAL FATHER'S NAME ) , UPON FIRST ARRIVING IN OCTOBER , 1890 ( SUSPICIOUS AS HELL ) , HE MOVED AROUND VERY OFTEN , AND 36 YEARS IS A LONG TIME , TO BE AWAY FROM YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY !!!. HE OBVIOUSLY , WAS " DEEP , DEEP , HIDING " , AND " ON THE RUN " , FROM " MEGA - TONS " MORE , THAN JUST ESCAPING FROM AN INSANE ASYLUM !!!. HE RETURNED TO BROADMOOR INSANE ASYLUM IN 1927 . ORDERLIES , AND DOCTORS THERE , ASKED ABOUT HIS 36 YEAR STAY IN AMERICA , AND BROUGHT UP " JACK THE RIPPER " , TO HIM , TO WHICH JAMES KELLY SUPPOSEDLY " CONFESSED " , TO BEING " JACK THE RIPPER " , TO ORDERLIES , AND DOCTORS THERE , BUT HE COULD NOT ABSOLUTELY PROVE IT !!!. HE ONLY CONFESSED TO BEING "JACK THE RIPPER " PERHAPS 2 - 4 TIMES !!. AFTERWARDS , HE ACTED AS IF HE WISHED , HE HAD NEVER BROUGHT IT UP !!!. EXCELLENT CHANCE , HE WAS TELLING THE " COMPLETE TRUTH " THOUGH , ALTHOUGH HE WAS NOT BELIEVED AT FIRST !!!. JAMES KELLY , as SOLID as ANY SUSPECT !!!. Please study - up on him , I think you might AGREE !!!. AND KEEP IN MIND HERE , THAT JAMES KELLY , ALTHOUGH A TRADESMAN BY HIS JOBS , WAS DECENTLY EDUCATED , AT LEAST THE EQUIVALENT OF A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE , OR EVEN A JUNIOR COLLEGE LEVEL EDUCATION !!. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN CAPABLE OF WRITING SOPHISTICATED , TEASING , LETTERS TO AUTHORITIES , AND PLANNING FAST , HIGHLY EFFECTIVE ESCAPE ROUTES , JUST PRIOR TO THE ATTACKS , AND IMMEDIATE MURDERS , AND VICIOUS MUTILATIONS !!!. Oh , and a documentary , you need to see - it's BRITTISH , and on the internet , only I don't know WHY , they broke it up into 4 or 5 different short videos !! , and out of order too !!. " JACK THE RIPPER IN AMERICA " with N.Y.P.D. COLD CASE DETECTIVE " ED NORRIS " His man IS JAMES KELLY , and just like HE , I WOULD TEND TO STRONGLY AGREE !!!. ALMOST ZERO DOUBT , JAMES KELLY MUST BE IN THE TOP 3 - 10 " JACK THE RIPPER " SUSPECTS , AND VERY , VERY , VERY , POSSIBLY , ALMOST PROBABLY , THE " NUMBER 1 ( ONE ) " J. T. R.

      @@Afrosom38 couldn't have been. Jack had to be a weak pathetic old inadequate male. He probably was impotent, verbally castrated by his wife, probably had all daughters and most likely relied on his mother. I say this because a strong man doesn't need to attack the weakest amongst society. I don't think their being prostitutes had anything to do with it other than they were ready pickings. I think he was disgusted by the drink probably negate he had problems with the drink and was either disgusted by it or proving to himself the drink didn't effect him. Many a prostitute went unharmed. He only attacked the one so drink they held onto the wall as they walked. He was weak. He attacked from drink women because he wasn't man enough to attack a male or a sober woman. Also, let us not forget even wealthy elite women sold sex in those days. Prostitutes weren't looked down upon as they are today. Actors were thought of as more disgusting than Prostitutes. Also, the way the women were killed is exactly how one would kosher kill and field dress am animal. Cut the throat and bleed out, cut from taint to sternum, remove organs intact so the meat cools quickly and doesn't spoil. This was all done by weak pathetic inadequate male who needed his mommy more often than not. When he and his wife made up he would have stopped killing because he wasn't able to kill anyone that wasn't falling down drunk or helpless a child or elderly. He was weak not stupid. He wouldn't have wanted to get caught. He would have been afraid his mommy would get mad at him and stop giving him money or shelter.
      Look for a weak, pathetic, liar, with possibly all daughters, fought with a wife or lost his wife. Lived of and on with his mother. Relied on women for house and home. Had issues with the drink. Older and weak. So weak he had to kill in the dark from behind because he didn't even have the balls to be seen by his victims. Not weak physically but weak mentally and emotionally. Like a rapist who believes themselves dominant for sa the weakest amongst society. Doing that is like saying stomping on an ant makes them Hercules. It doesn't. They are weak and pathetic.

Gacy, Dahmer, Dennis Ryder, Bundy, Gien, and a host of others. I don't think we can say, because a person was committed and is labeled insane that it's evidence of guilt. Also, most recent serial killers don't have a history of violence except Gacy. I'd like to explore the theory that a constable may have been "Leather Apron". Any constable with a history as a butcher or military surgical aid at the time? One that was reported to be abusive to the Whitechapel ladies of the night? One that may have been off duty each night a murder was committed? Who may have died at the time the killings ended? Any fit that profile?

    Looks like he was a serial, in the last stage of his crazyness. Born that way or because he got the syphilis and he had to die soon having a lot of pain and the illness already got his brain. I think this because after those homicides, no more signs of him. But this means he already attacked/killed before but not with his more famous distinctive way he used in the end, he practiced. Anyway, he was surely rich, his writing is fluent and by a man used to write a lot, and he was quite young. From 20 to 40, maybe 25/35. His writing tells this. And also tells he was not a macho, neither homosexual. He was excited while writing. He was thinking of his murders, past or up coming. But his writing doesn't looks like one of a solitary man, I think he lived in a family or even with a wife , a cold one, he could be a religious. I think letters could tell a lot, nowadays. Even if he hit from behind, he must be covered by blood and parts. He must have had a near place to wash and change, or he must have a bag with clean clothes. Or, he was "two" persons. I mean, yes, a rich man, maybe a doctor, and a policman. Someone who could go near the victims even when they were scared by the deaths, or have a reasonable reason to be there, even dirty with blood, after. Anyway, after his death - that I think was by himself, not a suicide but a further step towards his craziness - or after his house demolition or selling, someone knew, because someone must have found the remains in some room or hidden cache.
