    Age of the Ripper

    Now I understand that this aspect, the age of Jack the Ripper, is only guessed. Yet, we have a murder spree, with, in my mind six murders, the first is Martha Tabram. She dies in an unusual circumstance, now after this the killer finds his "niche", so to speak, and kills in a patternistic fashion thereafter.

    In my mind, and in the eyes of the profiler, this points his age in being around 20. The serial lust-murderer is usually over the age of 20, being that the youngest group of serial offenders are serial rapists, which range in their lower 20's, I believe Jack the Ripper to be in his late 20's early 30's.

    Anyhow, what do you all think?

    Washington Irving:

    "To a homeless man, who has no spot on this wide world which he can truly call his own, there is a momentary feeling of something like independence and territorial consequence, when, after a weary day's travel, he kicks off his boots, thrusts his feet into slippers, and stretches himself before an inn fire. 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. "

    Hi Corey.

    I also think he was in his late 20's up to perrhaps mid-30's. I would be surprised if he was older than this. Interesting Poll.

      Hello Sally,

      Thanks for the vote, I agree, I would be surprised if he was younger, less surprised if he was older though, but not too much older.

      Lynn,

      I should have put 40-60 there shouldn't I? Possible, I agree, I still like the theory, it rings possible, as does everything.

      Stan,

      Any age in mind, or just no possible answer?

      Edward,

      Ditto message to Stan.

      Ben,

      Thanks for the vote

          Hello Corey. Thanks. But, no, the ages work fine given that you include "other."

          And, besides, both Isenschmid and Kelly would fall under early/mid forties. And, to be quite frank, I'm so too sure who wielded the knife with Liz and MJ.

          Cheers.

            Any chance of disclosing the information? I don't know how you can be so sure, unless you have documentation saying or confessing that he killed them.

              I have voted for late 20s because this seems to fit in with other serial killers and when they began their killing.

                    Hello Stan,

                    An odd selection, would you care to elaborate on how you came to such a conclusion? Fifteen years old is very young for such a murderer as Jack the Ripper.

                          Hello Stan,

                          Interesting conclusion. I would say though, you could argue that the murders spoke of experimentation, which points to youth.

                          Some food for thought.

                            This is interesting, as the votes are, unlike most polls, cast out almost evenly. Later 20's is in the lead, but barly, only reaching about 40%
