Look at similar serial killers and work from there. Circumstances might change over time but deep down the human psyche remains the same. Let's not pretend that the Ripper was a special little snowflake.

Exactly! thats my thinking we can see the work of his will and by that we can look to the emotive content and work are empathy from there.

Whilst I doubt we will ever KNOW ether answer.

We are I think more likely to know who than why.

I dont know after 120 odd years the who is still no closer and true nether the why but we have his work on show for us all to see I just think by that is there more chance if we place are mind within his as best we can could we gain an insight to the why?

Can I have jacks knife? I dont care who did it but would like to know what was driving him, His work was very twisted would love to know why.

Not a photograph but a different version of Mary Pearcy in a newspaper.

Thanks Jerry. When I read of Mrs. Pearcy in the book "Murder and Its Motives" by F. Tennyson Jesse, she said Mrs. Pearcy was good looking. This drawing is good enough to show her attractiveness - more (of course) than the head of the wax statue from Tussaud's.

Hell, I have never seen an actual photograph of Mary Pearcey - they always show a photograph of her old wax figure from Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors as "her photo". it's not!

Thing is, I think we'd hate it if we knew. What would we do next?

Purchase one of these:

Well, we could rack our brains out trying to figure out who exactly shot and mortally wounded Governor elect William Goebel of Kentucky in 1900. Although there were arrests and trials, nobody was convicted and it's still up in the air. On the other hand there are probably better known unsolved murder mysteries than Goebel's (he did live long enough that day to get sworn into office - didn't provide a legislative agenda though ).

I'd like to see a full size study on the career of Francis Tumblety - not that I think he's the Ripper, but he is such an interesting character.

Still curious if there is any mortuary photo of Montie.

Photos of a living Mary Kelly, Inspector Fred Abberline, George Huchinson, Kosminski, Ostrog (I think there is one though), and a few others. Hell, I have never seen an actual photograph of Mary Pearcey - they always show a photograph of her old wax figure from Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors as "her photo". it's not!

Ooh Jeff, bear with me while I search...

I might be able to help out on more than one of the above.

1. The list of suspects brought in for questioning over Stride.
2. The identity of the man seen by Mr. Galloway.
3. The identify of the man Cox was following.
4. The seaside identification of Kozminski.


What we shall see.

1. Touch DNA improving.
2. New paper articles on suspects and communications.
3. Better explanations.

[Steadmund Brand]

I would like to know which newspaper accounts were accurate and which were “ journalistic license”

And photos of Mary Kelly and Frederick Abberline would be nice too, just out of curiosity though, wouldn't help solve anything really

Hello TC. Good question.

I'd like to know when John and Kate got back to London and what they were up to in the weeks before she was killed.

Cheers.
LC

Yep That'd be nice.
