I think that the murder of Annie Chapman is the quintessential Jack the Ripper crime. He could complete what he wanted to do when these urges arose. The killing of Polly was almost certainly by the same individual, which would suggest that her murder was not as complete as he might have intended.
It was not really a great location, any number of witnesses could have become aware of them. Like Cadosche for one,...he looks over that fence and the murderer is done. So his lack of concern for high risk murder sites remains the same going forward. The backyard in not like in the street, but almost 20 people lived in that house, and many windows of adjoining houses overlooked it. Far from safe. Compared with the dimly lit and secluded Mitre Square murder almost a month later.
Annies killing established a "series", it revealed a man with purpose and no soul.Michael Richards

There is something very profound in the remembrance of JtR's victims. Without him they would have always remained unknown. But the price of lasting fame was high. Would be good for their ghost's if they could ever have closure.Comment

I was thinking along those lines. The victims have been immortalized if only through the gruesome way in which they were dispatched from this earth. If not for those chance encounters, they would've been lost to the annals of history.Originally posted by miakaal4 View PostComment

Yes. It makes you pause and think about the hundreds, if not thousands of poor souls who lived similar lives. Utterly destitute and impoverished, living and dying in the shadows of history. very sad. Reminds me just how lucky we are to be born in this era.
