Who do you think Jack the Ripper was and why?

[Parker_Pyne79]

Give me one name and an explanation as to why you think it was that suspect.

Hi,
Wow,the question none of us can answer,
I would say the killer resided in the lodging houses of Whitechapel, and at the time of Kelly's death was living at Number 14 Dorset street.? either that night, or during that week.
Regards Richard.

explanations on why a particular person is the best suspect.
Some have no names.As it is none of them are true.Common
sense and logic are not enough It's unknown.

I want an opinion, not a definitive fact.

Fenian terror plot.

I thought I would post this to show how easily Jack could have been a mentally ill patient
This chap (not a known person) was admitted from to Mile End Workhouse on 25th Jan 1889
and then sent to Hoxton House Asylum on the 29th Jan 1889 classed as insane. see attached :

To Parker

William Henry Bury because his ex prostitute's wife murder is similar to the C5. Bury largely fits all the psych profiles. Bury moved into London shortly before the Ripper murders and left London not long after Mary Kelly's murder. Bury is also a proven psychopath.

Richard, why that address in Dorset Street? Do you have a particular person in mind or is it purely that most murder victims know their killer and they tend to be from that locale? Or is there another reason?

Thanks

I don't know who the killer is. But here are some things I believe about the killer:

- I think he lived in Whitechapel, because he fled back into Whitechapel after killing Eddowes

- I think he was sane enough to understand that what he was doing was wrong, or at least would be considered wrong by mainstream society. He clearly took steps to minimize noise and evidence during the killings

- I suspect he had light hair: sandy, auburn, reddish-blonde, something in that range. This is a commonality in some of the most credible eyewitness descriptions.

Jack the Ripper was a

Butcher, baker, candlestick-maker,
Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy,
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief...

Jack was, is all we know.

And some dispute that.

Hi Paul.
A letter was sent to the Great Yarmouth police exactly one week before the murder of Kelly [ Been well discussed before on Casebook] penned from 14, Dorset street.[directly opposite Millers court] which was the place of work of Caroline Maxwell's husband.
I find it extremely coincidental, that a letter arrives at another police force sent from that address. and has connections to the Maxwell's, exactly one week prior to the murder.
It was the perfect location to observe the comings and goings of Mary Kelly.
Regards Richard.

But wouldn't the killer need to be a total idiot to put their address on it.

That in all seriousness is my biggest problem.

Hi,
Absolutely insane, but our killer was not all there,also a taunter.
Amazing coincidence out of all the lodging houses in Whitechapel, and private dwellings, a letter is penned, from not only a house directly opposite the next murder scene, but also the most sensational witness in the case Mrs Maxwell having direct connection to that address.
Regards Richard.
