I have been wondering: How functional could "Jack" have been during and after the murders?
Some killers, who have already been less functional in society before their killings, tend to have a psychological breakdown along with their killings, which severely impairs their ability to interact normally with their relatives, neighbours and ultimately every other person they meet.
Some others like the Zodiac seem to be able to keep the appearances up and even refrain from killing for longer periods of time.
The question which really interests me after looking at the timeline of the canonical 5 victims: Is this 3 week gap between the first two and the last 3 victims a sign of the former or the later behaviour?
Could he have gone back to live his normal life and surpressed his urges for that time?
