what would you say about Jack?

[NOV9]

The response on this site is really good.

So I'm posting this as a guide, not that you need it.

The Profile of a Serial Killer
According to former FBI agent and serial killer expert Robert K. Ressler, the "typical" serial killer is usually a Caucasian male in their twenties or thirties. They often come from dysfunctional families in which there is an absentee father. They are smart and may be employed beneath their capacity. Many have some kind of physical ailment that sets them off. Their impulse to kill may be triggered by some event such as the loss of a job or the breakup of a relationship. While the majority of serial killers fit this general profile, there are always exceptions to the rules.
According to current research, a psychopath, also called a sociopath, can be either male or female. Though not always killers, they are dangerous because they have no respect for rules or regard for people other than themselves. They only fear getting caught. Despite this fear, they often enjoy playing cat-and-mouse games with the police, taunting them with clues and challenging them to catch them if they can. It is believed that serial killers are unable to stop killing on their own volition even if they wanted to.

Thanks for your interest.

Based on all the information on this site, how would you discribe Jack?

How old would he be?

What would you say his Physical description be?

what would you say about his state of mind?

What type of weapon he used? not just a knife but what kind of knife?

why did he hate the women he killed or did he hate someone else and took
it out on the women on the streets?

Hi,

Jack the Ripper was 58 years old.

He was over six feet tall and with broad shoulders, big hands and was very strong.

He was obviously crazy, a sociopath

He used a sharp knife, a lister knife?

Jack the ripper was scared of women. He was unable to come to terms with his own homosexual urges. Or he wanted to harvest organs.

And that's based on "all the information on this site", Brad?

Hi Ben,

Um, Just a guess.

[Fisherman]

Nov 9 wants to know:

"What type of weapon he used? not just a knife but what kind of knife?"

Limiting question. I think he may have used more than one...

Hi again,

I owe you a serious response to your questions, so Ill hazzard a guess knowing full well that we have nothing at all to build a physical profile on really other than witness suspect sightings and some wound descriptions...

How old would he be?

I would think the composite would be Eastern European, 35-38 years old.

What would you say his Physical description be?

I think perhaps a fair bit like the description of Blotchy Man oddly enough,.. tough looking, broadshoulders, a darker complexion....oddly, because I dont think he was Jack the Ripper, or that he even killed Mary. Maybe 5'8" - 5'10", not fit but strong. I have a theory that he had a nice accent and voice that the women took to.

what would you say about his state of mind?

I think the man that killed some women was just cold. He did what he did without regarding the victim as a human being, just meat....which makes me think butcher.

What type of weapon he used? not just a knife but what kind of knife?

My bet is he never had that knife off his person. It was his safety on the streets, good for cutting rope, large enough to be intimidating...sharpened often. I think a Bowie style.

why did he hate the women he killed or did he hate someone else and took it out on the women on the streets?

I dont think the killer that killed some of the women hated them at all, maybe thought of them as trash, or less than human, but I dont believe the Canon were all killed by hatred. I think the 5th was.

All pure speculation.

Cheers.

I stick with my theory that Jack the Ripper was bad peeps. I'm sure some of you will find my conclusion controversial, but I assure you I have much evidence to support it.

I know this is going to get me in trouble, but here it goes.
I will keep it short.

This is my take on Jack the Ripper.

Lets assume that Jack was about 30 years of age, and he hated women for whatever reason.

In my opinion Jack began to hurt people when he was a teenager around 16 or 18 just a guess at the age.

I believe that he was what they call (anger retaliatory) he would have a very short temper, and would not be in control of himself once the stress trigger was in motion, he may have been arrested for assault on the prostitutes in his neighborhood, so it is not unusual for the police not to know him, or suspect him of being Jack.

Jack would have a drinking problem, fuel for his anger, and his fantasy. He would have been known as a woman hater.

Jack may have wanted to be a cop, but because of his his love for alcohol, and his violent nature he would have been turned away.

The reason I believe this is because Jack would have loved to be in authority, a power trip.

I also believe that Jack was one to be hanging around the police stations talking to the cops. Imagine the excitement he was feeling just standing around with the cops and asking about the Ripper case, and being the most sought after criminal in all of England. What a rush (Edmund Kemper).

Jack must have been a smooth talker, to keep his victims at ease until he was ready to attack. (Ted Bundy)

Perhaps one of the reasons for his anger, was that he probably could not get an erection so he would use his knife as a substitute, plunging the knife deep may have made him feel like he were having sex, and the blood excited him. Putting his hands inside of his victims had to be a turn on for him. Removing parts may have been to show his power over the victim. Covering his victims after the crime may have been a signal to himself that it was done, and the victim got what she deserved. (Cotingham)

A serial killer (Andrie Chikatilo) said that he would cut the vagina out and chew on it as he was walking away from his victim, because he liked the taste of the blood. I think that Jack may have had the same taste for blood.

This must have been the ultimate control, and power that he never could have, in all of his worthless life.

After the first 2 murders on the streets and getting away with it, he must have felt like he was untouchable. After killing Eddowes he removed a piece of the apron and must have thought that he was smarter than the cops, because he believed that he was invisible, He could walk to his front door with the piece of apron in his hand, and discard it, almost in front of the on coming cop. Jack is getting bolder by the minute, but then he makes his mistake, This is not uncommon for serial killers to get so overconfident that they get sloppy and then get caught. (Ted Bundy).

The case inspector was told to remove the graffiti from the wall because it may cause rioting in the streets against the Jews.

My guess is that Jack was a Jew, and all hell would break out if it were revealed to the public. Only the cops with the need to know, knew that they had Jack in custody, and that is why the case slowly wound down and the hype would fizzle. This is a volatile case, that could cause rioting and the police would not reveal Jack’s identity, and not all the cops were informed, just those with the need to know.

So when Mary’s lover killed her, the cops (not all cops) knew who the killer was, but they needed to turn a blind eye to Mary’s killer, so that Jack would take the blame. So many killings happened in Whitechapel that the huge volume of suicide and murder hardened the cops, even though Mary’s murder was really disgusting, it was important not to reveal to the public, the real Jack the Ripper.

This crime was a high priority all the way to the Queen; the killer most likely had no trial and was put to death and buried in an unmarked grave, just to be done with it. Those deep in the service know that this is most likely to have happened.

The last paragraph is pure speculation of course, this is how I would have liked it to end for Jack.

One doesn't need to hate women in order to kill them.

Hi Tom,

What would you say jack's motive was?

She might have hogged to remote control!

Hi NOV9,

Jack must have been a smooth talker, to keep his victims at ease until he was ready to attack. (Ted Bundy)

The Ripper may have been a smooth talker, but he certainly didn't need to have been one. Those who prostituted themselves were mostly down and out, so as long as the Ripper didn't act too suspiciously until the moment he struck, women would be willing to go with him. It may even be argued that, the later during the night these women were still out going off with men, the more desprerate they were.

All the best,
Frank

[sdreid]

He may have just jumped them too without any previous interaction.

[FrankO]

Although I think it's unlikely that that's the way it happened, Stan, it's certainly another reason why the Ripper didn't need to have been a smooth talker.

Best,
Frank

Here's how I would describe Jack:

Not too young or too old to have overpowered any of his victims.

Physically at least as strong as he needed to be to overpower all his victims.

Totally wrapped up in himself but not mentally deficient (still describing Jack here, in case anyone was worried ).

A sharp one with 'This knife belongs to ....' engraved on it, with the last bit illegible (typical).

Why would he have hated them? They provided him with everything he couldn't get at home - private parts in private parts.

Tidy.

Love,

Caz
