American Ripper-like Murders

[Irene]

I just recently watched a documentry about JTR in America and this detective mentioned murders that were Jack the Ripper style all over different American states. I know about the ripper like murders of Carrie Brown and others in the book America Murders of Jack the Ripper but I was wondering if there were other ripper like murders in America like the ones that the detective spoke about in the James Kelly documentry?

Thanks

Hi Irene
I'd imagine the best known are probably the murders in Austin, Texas but contemporary (early 1900s) reference was made in the press after the arrest of Chapman/Klosowski of an alleged series of murders in Jersey City during Klosowski's time of living there. As far as I know no trace of such murders were found and the American press and police at the time denied that any such murders had happened.

Yes, what about the Austin Annihilator-like murders in London during 1888?
