Can we construct a general "face" of JTR?

[RipperNoob]

Given the eye-witness testimony, is it possible to construct what JTR may have looked like? (Based on the accounts of people who last saw his victims?)

IE, given witness accounts, can we say Jack had a ginger colored mustache, was approximately in his late 20s, and wore a deerstalker cap?

Nope.

Can't even be sure any of them saw Jack.

To RipperNoob

There is a Jack the Ripper face compiled from witnesses. If you google Jack the Ripper face I'm sure you will find it.

I would go by the descriptions of Lawende, marshall, Schwartz and possibly PC smith and the anon church street sighting description.

I'm very certain all probably saw the ripper that night as their descriptions seem to corroborate one another. The cincher that ties them all together is the cap with peak.

Hello RN. Here is a photo of the face seen by Mrs. Long.

I doubt that Jack was rolling in money and sporting an extensive wardrobe. Still you would expect that he would have taken some pains to look and dress differently if at all possible whenever he ventured out with the intent to kill.

Alas, we cannot construct much of anything about the case, because witnesses might be flawed in at least three different ways:

(1) they may be fabricating what they saw
(2) they may be honest about what they saw, but did not actually see the killer - their description is of an innocent bystander
(3) they may be honest about what they saw, and they did see the killer, but the killer was not "Jack the Ripper"

Recall, many don't believe that Stride was a Ripper victim. Some don't think Kelly was. Lynn Cates, who just posted here, doesn't even believe that Eddowes was a Ripper victim!

If you put a gun to my head and forced me to guess a physical trait of the killer, I would guess that he had light-colored hair with a reddish tinge, because I believe Lawende and Cox both saw the Ripper. But I could easily be wrong about either of them.

Id go with the mug shot of Aussie George Hutchinson.

broad face and shoulders, mustache-even the weak eyelashes!

Jack the Ripper was Freddie Mercury!
