What's your profile for Jack?

[Prot]

I've been trying to recreate the look with an actor friend and in a professional photoshoot, will post the results when I get the results

[Fisherman]

Cheers Fisherman, that's what I meant, yeah it had been a long day when I wrote that, apologies all. But someone like in the image I posted, nothing abnormal about his appearance.

Agreed, Prot!

He looks pretty much like a carman to me, incidentally ...

All the best,
Fisherman

I think our killer lived alone didn't live locally had a bolt hole a few minutes away from mitre square had at least a basic knowledge of human anatomy he would have been quite physically fit and would suffer from some form of mental illness and died or was locked up shortly after Mary Kelly's murder.

Nuts.

Well, to be fair, I think Prot was speaking of the surface appearance of our man - but it did come across as slightly odd ...

All the best,
Fisherman

[The Good Michael]

Nuts.

Nothing decidedly abnormal with him...

Are you sure you donīt want to rephrase that?

The best,
Fisherman

Out of the many documentaries, I think this one got it right for me personally (i forget the name of it for now). Nothing decidedly abnormal with him, maybe a little quiet, but not the top hat caped surgeon the general public think of when Jack is mentioned. This to me is JTR

I saw this article, taken from a book in 1883. It made me consider what the mindset of men in the late 1800s was of women, and how Jack had this as his own outlook. He after all enlarged on it.

It's important to slip into that mindset to envision at the very least, the starting point, as I'm sure you all know. But reading this article made my skin crawl to think of those times.

White male.
30-45.
Separated or divorced from spouse.
Lived and worked in the area. (If he held a job at all)
Right-handed.
Nothing remarkable about his appearance.
No medical/anatomical knowledge.
Average intelligence. (Was literate, if only marginal)
May have wanted to be a cop at one point.

You're looking for a loser. A man who desired success among his peers but who was only ridiculed most of the time. Harbored a secret "I'll show them" attitude. Severe intimacy issues. Ex-lover pitied him and possibly gave him some form of support after their split. He was intimidated by women who had a strong personality because he dealt with alpha males on a regular basis. Obviously not the sharp-dressed criminal genius who fooled better, smarter men. And definitely not an eccentric artist who murdered women when he was bored.

He never communicated with his pursuers but he did pay attention to what "they" were saying about him and enjoyed it immensely. He got the recognition he so desired and all because of luck. He was perhaps the luckiest murderer in history.

[Michael W Richards]

I would agree with that except I would strike the word 'remote', since it's not more remote than any other possibility, and certainly less remote than some. But I agree that to say it's a probability her killer was interrupted is stepping a bit over the line since no one seems to have seen a man fleeing from the passageway post-murder.

It seems Damaso is ignoring my responses to him.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

I can live with that revision Tom. Cheers
