Jack the Ripper for dummies

[Limehouse]

Hi Celee,

With reference to your theory, how did Druitt and Tumblety meet and if Tumblety 'had something to do with the murders' helped by Druitt, what was in it for Druitt and what was their motive? Perhaps these questions are best answered on another thread though.

Hi Brad

Good luck with your quest. Although I think beginners might have been a better choice of wording, more sensitive than dummies.

I was surprised at your inclussion of Ostrog, who I thought it was agreed by most authorities was in prison in france at the time of the attacks.

Would it not have been better to have listed more popular suspects who beginners may have firstly come in contact with ie Sickert, Maybrick and Gull?

Just a thought. Good luck agian

Hi Jack,

The word Dummies comes from a popular series of books that is popular in th US. I am not sure were you are located. Titles such as Plumbing for Dummies, Spanish for Dummies. I am trying to funny and inviting not insulting.

I was posting my personal favorite suspects. People can discuss any suspect they want. You by posting, thankyou, have just introduced, Sickert, Maybrick, and Gull.

Ostrog, has been ruled out by most. However, I have read some good arguments that Ostrog could have been the Ripper and Macnaughten names him.

I really just want some fresh thoughts from open minds.

Your friend, Brad

Hi,

Well, I thought I would try and make understanding the Ripper murders easy for new commers. I am starting this thread, so people who have maybe basic questions about the case can come and post without fear. People with theories about the case can post there thoughts no matter how out there some ideas might be.

I will start the discussion off,

Jack the Ripper killed 5 woman and five woman only.

1. Nicholes
2. Chapman
3. Stride
4. Eddowes
5. Kelly

Nobody ever got a good look at the Ripper.

Inspector Abberline admitted this in an interview he gave in 1903. Robert Anderson claimed that the Ripper had been identified. However, Anderson's witness could not have been to reliable. He obviously did not convince Abberline and higher officials Like James Monroe. I do believe Anderson had a witness and I believe Anderson believed his witness and thought he knew who the killer was. In my opinion Anderson's witness was Shwartz.

Why the Ripper was Never caught.

The Ripper only struck on 4 nights and he struck in the streets only 3 nights. He killed Kelly in her home. There was no DNA evidence or blood typing, fingerprinting was not yet used. So, anything short of catching the Ripper in the act of murder would not do. those are the reasons the Ripper never got caught.

Why did the Ripper stop killing.

There are only a few reasons why the Ripper would have quit.

1. He died, either of natual causes or he was murdered.

2. He was locked up in an asylum or prison.

3. He moved out of the area and his new murders were never conected to the Ripper murders.

4. I believe that the Killer might have just stoped. He could have been scared that the police were getting too close, or he may have lost his drive. If the murders were lust murders. I think it is possible that the Ripper's lebido just died.

Who was Jack the Ripper,

There are alot of theories all but one are wrong. I believe that the name of the Ripper has been put forward. I feel the Ripper was one of these suspects.

1. Tumblety
2. Druitt
3. Kosminski
4. Chapman
5. Ostrog

I feel Tumbley had something to do with the murders. I feel he had an accomlise and I think his acomplise was Druitt. I posted it so take your shots.

Was Mary Kelly a Ripper victim.

Yes, she was and the murders had nothing to do with her. Well except for the fact she was murdered.

Okay, Dummies lets go.
