    Laura Richards profile of Jack

    This is what Laura Richards said about Jack.

    The picture they were left with was one of someone who was "perfectly sane, frighteningly normal, and yet capable of extraordinary cruelty," Richards said.

    I believe too much attention is focused on known murderers in white chapel at the time and I don't think anyone realized that it could have been some unknown person committing these crimes. It was obvious the obvious raving lunatic foaming at the mouth would be suspected of these crimes, but does anyone else believe that Jack was some unknown person as I do? I also believe the profile that Laura Richards came up with. To me, Jack was a normal guy on the outside, capable of talking to women and able to be charming. He blended in real well in white chapel I imagine. He didn't bring any attention to himself. He just acted like a normal guy until his victims brought him to the last place they would ever see. Also, does anyone know what kinda knife Jack used? I read someone say before Jack had to have some surgical knowledge because supposedly some say he carried a surgical knife. Does anyone know for certain if he carried a bag with him???

    Hello Jon. Well, in the movies he did. (of course, many of us would like it better if he had.)

    We know that one PC saw someone with a parcel. But I doubt that gets us much.

    Cheers.

      very interesting

      yes i belive that personally non of the suspects at the time were very fitting for the ripper.I belive there must be someone,normal who no one and i mean no one suspected,maybe even today.someone who had a weekly job who was a resident of london and maybe was married.at the time the officers were looking for the cracks and lunatics but were not looking for those of normal appearance and behavior.i belive if the met police did house to house checks they may,and i say may lightly,have found the killer.perhaps by locating an object obtained by the killer from the victems.

      good luck

Let the world without go as it may; let kingdoms rise and fall, so long as he has the wherewithal to pay his bills, he is, for the time being, the very monarch of all he surveys. The arm chair in his throne; the poker his sceptre, and the little parlour of some twelve feet square, his undisputed empire. "

        Jonwilson,

        does anyone else believe that Jack was some unknown person as I do?

        Well, Donald Rumbelow does, or at least did for many years, and that is not bad company at all.

          Yes, he may have had a wife, who knows for sure. I believe some criminal profiles of him say that he most likely didn't have a wife, but I think most should take this criminal profiling with a grain of salt. Laura's criminal profile of Jack makes sense to me. Obviously, if he acted like a lunatic in public and didn't appear normal, most prostitutes probably wouldn't service him. No matter how deranged Jack might have been, there are serial killers capable of having a separate life if you will with kids and a wife. It is clear to me that he was non-threatening to these ladies and he appeared as a normal guy. Not a raving lunatic foaming at the mouth. Jack to me was a normal looking guy who blended in well and obviously didn't bring any negative attention to himself. He revealed his true self when the women took him to the last place they would ever see. Jack the ripper to me is kinda like a Ted Bundy. No one would have suspected him of being a murderer. He appeared very normal.

            my view

            heres my own profile of the ripper
            male
            5'6" in height
            aged 31-45
            maybe married maybe divorced
            weekly employed
            doesnt bring attention to himself
            shy
            compulsive
            asocial
            had a passive or no father figure
            mother probally a heavy drinker and possibaly a prostitut(from the critera of his victems)
            dresses well for his victems to show that he has money.kind of a lure to prostitutes
            may have some anatomical knowledge
            and lastly he probally had a job where he could express his distructive tendincies

              The sole reliance on trait-based models of profiling is fundamentally flawed. Criminal profil-ers do not seem to recognize that a consensus began to emerge in the psychological litera-ture some 40 years ago that it was a mistake to rely on traits as the primary explanation forbehavior.

                  I do not think that the Ripper would have dressed especially well as I think this would have been more likely to attract attention. 'Shabby Genteel' (please excuse my spelling, I kept writing Gentile) maybe but not overly above a well dressed clerk etc. In my mind however Jack is an ordinary looking Eastender, whatever that is.

                    I think anyone with half a brain would opt for the unknown local as being the Ripper, as none of the other suspects make sense.

                    Harsh but true.

                      i get your point

                      but then again criminal profiling has helped many police agencys and the fbi take out many cerial killers.
                      and to dressing better i never said flashy just better than he usually does.

                          Yes, that is what I have thought for a while now. None of the other murderers that I know of had a mo like Jack. William Bury stabbed his wife, but I don't believe he mutilated her. The police in 1888 were looking for the wrong kind of guy. It made their investigation that much harder as killers like Jack can blend into society very easily and act like a normal person. This is why Jack was never caught along with the given fact that the police back then didn't have any of the tools the police we have now do. It seems that any known murderer at the time was a Jack the ripper suspect.

                            but secondly

                            there is one suspect that in my mind has the best candidicy for being the ripper.joesph barnett.he wasnt a murder,or a lunatic.he fits the profile.he was the lover of the last victem...the only thing that i cant find about barnett is a decent motive of why he would kill all those poor woman.i dont think wanting to scare kelly out of prostitution counts as a decent motive to me. if i found a good motive for barnett being the ripper than i wouldnt be suprised that it is him

                              also

                              you have got to realize the police at the time belived that the killer WOULDNT change his M.O this is entierly incorrect the killer could indeed change his M.O.

                              just think about it
