OK, thanks for that Caroline. I'll await with any future revelations with interest.

Hey! That blows my Harry Dam theory out of the water. Oh well ... maybe not.

In my humble opinion, Jack was an unknown local man who looked kinda creepy (I'm thinking about the individual seen by Thomas Bowyer that had something wrong with his eyes or the Bethnal Green Botherer), but at the same time was capable of blending in.

Something wrong with his eyes like this maybe?

More like an eerie gaze, I think.

Thats pretty much all there is. The other men seen by PC Smith, Packer, at the Bricklayers Arms, and by Bowyer could all be someone else. It's just that the Bethnal Green Man/Britannia Man had an awkward way of walking, and something wrong with his eyes.
The man seen by Bowyer, & the man seen at the Bricklayers Arms, also had something wrong with his eyes.

Even since I read about the BGM his description has been stuck in my head so we I came across this article from a supposed attack on November 24th 1892 I was very surprised. This man both had odd looking eyes, also possibly having heterochromia and walked with a strange stomping gait.

That's interesting! But if this man was Jack, why didn't he strike again until 1892? I have a feeling that Jack was either institutionalized for some other reason or he died after Mary's murder. I'm on the fence about Alice McKenzie being a Ripper victim.

Interesting article!

I find it hard to believe that Jack would have "announced his intention to do for..." the victim.

The lack of noise and signs of a struggle (with the possible exception of MJK) would indicate a blitz style attack, not one where the victim was made aware of what was about to happen.

I guess it could be artistic license on the part of the prospective victim (or indeed the journalist) though.

The Common theory and mostly accepted today by LE and experts I do believe is that Serial Killers never stop, unless they're caught, dead, or otherwise have to...something has to make them stop...that they can't help it and eventually they'll do their thing. I agree that Jack was likely institutionalized or jailed and they didn't know they had him. But that can't always be the case can it? I have to do some reading on this...Do serial killers ever just stop?

Andrei Chikatilo stopped for a period.
The actions of a serial killer are triggered by something, if that something is removed, the killer stops.
This was realized with Chikatilo.
