    An attempt to shed some new light on JTR

    Hello to all!

    This is my first post.
    Be warned, I rarely write in English, so my grammar is terrible even at the best of times.
    Please keep that in mind.

    I've been reading (searching) this forum for a past few weeks,
    but could not find anything enough similar to what I have to say.
    I beg to be corrected if there is such a post and I apologize in advance.

    I'm intrigued by JTR for quite some time, it's fascinating subject.
    So, this is my take on mystery that keeps our minds reeling.
    I finally collected my thoughts in one place and
    I hope you will find some value in it.

    Here are my premises:
    I focused my effort mainly on victims, doctors, timeline and crime scene.
    Why? They lie less. (except timeline)
    I assume that he evolved from Tabram to Eddowes.
    Why? I see progress in brutality and surgical competence with each case.
    I assume that Nichols is a failure.
    Why? He started with abdomen, but couldn't finish it for some reason.
    I discarded Stride from consideration.
    Why? It's political, IMHO. Someone is trying to piggyback on JTR.
    Also the place is an open invitation to hang oneself.
    Also two murders in one night are one too much. Could be wrong, though.
    For now being I discarded MJK too. I went through it once-twice, in speedy fashion.
    Why? There is little time pressure on him so he went berserk.
    It's a total mess, order of his actions can be anything,
    explosion of possibility and interpretations.
    I assume that there is more victims we don't know anything about.
    Therefore, I assume Nichols, Chapman, Eddowes and MJK are his crown jewels to show off.

    This below is my analysis in some tree form.
    Hope it's more or less self-explanatory
    Most observations are widely known, but I've included them for completeness.
    Legend:
    ~xx% assessment of probability
    :: key point
    ???? answer could be important
    !? it could be true, but with a tendency towards the truth

    :: IMHO; he is too lucky, too skilled, too time aware and too quick, hence supervillain.
    Therefore, we need to add things that will help him become exactly as superior as he was.
    For example, we can give him an epilepsy or a Norwegian Blue or a pile of money.
    Clearly, only money can improve his overall abilities.
    :: A lots of improvement has been made in period between Nichols and Eddowes (his anatomical knowledge)
    How many woman (girls) are missing and never found ????
    Also dead woman bodies can be found in medical schools or in mortuary
    or can be bought or can be dug up.

    JTR is:
    strong
    self confident and persistent: after Nichols he didn't give up
    under tight time pressure and police watch, he delivers
    :: 1. he wants a spectacle (news is the main channel for the hype)
    journalist (any rank in company)
    actor (high vanity level in some), failed actor (even better)
    similar to a lesser extent with writer, politician
    working man ~30%
    he seems to have a plenty of free time (planning, preparation, hunting, escape, tidy up)
    literate
    skilled with the knife (not initially)
    taller then 5'1" ~80%
    left-handed ~70%, ambidextrous (this is quite rare !?)
    average looking, tries to be unremarkable
    or masked ~70%
    good eyesight, age: <35 ~70% >50 ~10%
    flexible, quick: kneels, moves around, age: <35 ~70% >50 ~10%
    excellent knowledge of area and local culture
    he is not poor ~80%
    :: he knows police officers beats ~80%
    :: he has a watch ~70%
    victims are woman (of Whitechapel) because they are
    numerous at night, accessible, easy to lure
    weak and small, causes greater public outcry, fear and interest ~90%
    he was in a hurry to kill Eddowes ~70%
    kidney is just for the news, a spectacle ~80%
    it is a small organ, easy to handle and parcel
    associated with culinary tradition
    in his formative years he suffers greatly from woman (mother, foster m., neighbor, etc.) ~30%
    of all of them, Eddowes looks the most like this dominant woman
    or she knows him (cuts on eyes and nose) ~80%
    dominant woman is dead or without control on him
    chronic illness, jail, asylum, abroad, etc. ~30%
    he had no father figure in his formative years to protect him ~30%
    motive; spectacle ~70% (and, or) dominant woman issue ~30%
    if he is looking just for a spectacle then
    all above about dominant woman and father is probably totally wrong
    all macabre deeds can only be for drama, except for Eddowes eyes and nose ~95%
    :: sub motive; to make a fool of police force (and, or) discredit (replace) some (high) ranking official
    see 1. with a grudge
    active policeman (any rank) with a grudge, former policeman (even better)
    is it possible to obtain information about such cases ????
    :: sub motive; financial gain (Follow the money) it could be paired with police motive above
    see 1.
    2. he can also be a hired man
    (and, or) forced to obedience by blackmail, debt or fear
    or misguided and exploited

    :: if he has a carriage (with the cabin ~80%)
    it wouldn't be necessary to park exactly at crime site in every case !?
    it helps with the speed
    much bigger radius of action
    hiding, waiting, clothing change, storage place
    weather shelter
    attracting of woman
    place for crime
    minimal blood problem
    place to clean up himself
    escape from the site
    extra light in a cabin
    transport to or from secondary location
    kidnapping of accidental witness (missing woman (man), how many ????)

    :: if there were 2 of them, the binding could be based on
    master and servant ~60%
    for servant see 2.
    family, friendship or some other form of strong loyalty (army service (wars)) ~40%
    with carriage - see previous section (some actions would be even easier)
    driver
    splitting after crime !?
    alarming
    disturbance of others (killing or inflicting harm, distracting and similar)
    extra light on a scene
    one of them could be
    skilled with the knife
    weak, old, stupid, misguided, etc. (any combination of traits)

    After the expose from above, these are some of the questions that bother me the most.
    Who (of known suspects) is in possession or can borrow or rent or inherit a carriage or similar?
    Same type of question as above but about second house, flat, barn, storage facility, etc.?
    How unusual was to drive vehicle at wee hours?
    Which news company earned the most from the hype?

    Thanks for an attention!
Working...
