If anyone buys this then there is no hope for mankind.

I think this is a parody. It's trolling all the other outlandish theories/books. It has to be.

I see you have not changed one bit. Still sitting high on your throne slinging lightening rods at projects you deem as unworthy. One of the types always found in history who seek to dissuade others and prevent the truth from coming out. Why don't you just ignore my things for a change and play elsewhere? You aren't offering anything productive by your negative sniping.

Thank you, can it be proven Vinny was in London during the times of the crimes? I heard he was not and in France. Are you hoping to suggest he murdered the C5 or more? Thanks.

It's not parody. It's not fiction. It's not the musings of a schizophrenic. It's not the delusions of a want-to-be. It's not the efforts of someone trying to make a quick buck. It's not a fraud presenting fake DNA. It's a serious, well-researched book filled with remarkable matches between Van Gogh's life and Jack the Ripper's murders. It's reality in a world of illusion.

Fiona Saint mentions Van Gogh as being part of a group of painters who called themselves "Les xx" who she suggests were involved in the murders and the two x`s carved on the cheeks of Eddowes represent that group.

For further reading on this group there is a full chapter on "The Anarchists" in my book "Jack the Ripper The Real Truth"

I present Vincent was both Jack the Ripper and the Torso Killer. He was transferred to London in 1873 and made his first Torso kill, killing another in 1874. Years later he killed his father and then started the Torso kills up again while living with his brother, Theo, in Paris. He then moved to the south of France to Arles in Feb. 1888. I present he traveled from there to London for the two attempted murders and the Ripper murders. The evidence of this is found mainly in his own letters and actions, but also matchups to the Ripper letters. The evidence shows he killed all from Tabram to Rose Millett in 1888, including the Whitehall Torso victim. He cut off his ear three days after her murder. And then Elizabeth Jackson & Alice McKenzie in 1889. He showed he was the killer behind both methods when he then completed his murders by combining the two with the Pinchin Street victim, killing her as a Torso victim, but then slashing her belly and depositing her body in the Ripper's territory. And he did this on his mother's 70th birthday, giving him a sense of completion. Thanks for the question.

It's not fiction

Oddly enough, if you’d presented and sold the book as fiction, it might have landed better with readers—think along the lines of Gyles Brandreth’s Jack the Ripper: Case Closed. Why not give that a shot? I’m not trying to knock your work, but you’ve got to admit this theory stretches credulity. Posting it on a hardcore Ripperology site is practically inviting a storm of criticism!


Consider reframing it as a fictional narrative—or even a blend of fact and fiction—and pitch it that way: What if Vincent were Jack the Ripper? When you encounter negative comments here, try not to get too defensive. Pushback is inevitable, so embrace it with grace, recognizing that it’s a tough theory for many to swallow. You could even lean into that skepticism, admitting that suggesting a Vincent connection feels almost far-fetched. A touch of humility might soften the criticism and dial down the intensity of the backlash, in my opinion.

Thanks for the info, Trevor. I would note they aren't "X's," they are "V's." Vincent signed her face with his initials. The cut around her nose is the capital "G."

Many thanks for the reply. Unfortunately you lost me when you included the Torso killings. I'm not and probably never will be convinced it was both the same killer, to flip flop MOs like they would have had to seems rather far-fetched to me. Also there is a theory the Torso found in what would be Scotland Yard could have been dumped on the night of the Double Event, so a rather busy night for Jack and Torso Tommy.

'The evidence shows he killed all from Tabram to Rose Millett in 1888, including the Whitehall Torso victim.' <--- I suggest the word 'evidence' might be a bit strong here. However unlike Vincent I'm erm all ears...

My main issue with Vincent being Jack is of course the 'was he in London' at the relevant times? Surely since travel back and forth over the channel would not have been as easy or as inexpensive over 130 years ago would it not be more likely for Vincent to get all murdery in his own town instead of all the travelling?

Good luck with the book.

I appreciate your input, Richard. I’m truly not defensive. I’ve been through this before years ago and a particular person made every effort to cancel me, and when he showed up immediately after I posted the book here, well, no thanks. Otherwise, I’m quite congenial and invite any skepticism. I understand how far-fetched the concept appears, but there it is, the truth. It can’t be avoided. From my perspective, the problem is those in the Ripperologist world don’t know the intricate details of Van Gogh’s life, and those in the art world are lacking the same in the Ripper world. Not to mention the myriad suspects previously put forward, including false DNA, which muddies the water.

I can in no way and will never pitch this book as fiction. Believing all the facts prove his guilt and having integrity, I can’t bow down and compromise for a better chance of selling it by changing what I know is true into a novel. Others have suggested it would be a much easier sell, and this included an agent I once had so long ago. I didn’t write it as fiction, and I didn’t research it as fiction. It’s written from a prosecutor’s perspective, which is a view of guilt based on the evidence, putting all the pieces together to form a complete picture.

I’ll be sure to show more of my humility and playful side as things move forward. It really is my nature. Thanks.

Yes Geddy. Van Gogh was provably in France at the time of the murders. Dale skips over this huge negative by saying that he ‘travelled.’ The simple fact of the existence of the concept of travel is enough for him. The fact that Van Gogh was permanently penniless is also ignored because it’s inconvenient to this appallingly fantasy. Vincent had to rely on his brother even to be able to buy paint and everyone that ever had any contact with him tell that he had only one obsession in life. Painting. Painting came before food, drink, sex…anything. He lived to paint. Not one single person who knew Vincent said that he was violent or that he had any kind of dangerous attitude to women. But facts don’t matter to Dale because he has his ridiculous Rorschach ink blot theory. A distorted, dishonest publicity stunt.

This book is a tasteless, worthless, invalid, invented, despicable character assassination of one of the greatest artist against whom not a scintilla of suspicion can be placed. Van Gogh suffered enough during his own lifetime but that this person has deliberately created this miserable stain is about as low as it gets. (And before the comment is offered…no, fame shouldn’t make someone immune from investigations but a complete lack of evidence should make people immune from being accused of being a serial killer)

If anyone only ever takes one piece of advice from me it’s this….don’t buy this utter pile.

What you have provided is a sketch The original photo looks like x`s

If I am perfectly honest I would say that the facial wounds were caused by the killer when Eddowes was fighting for her life with the killer behind her and was trying to cut her throat. Would he have had the time to do all he allegedly did?

Traveled to London
Based on Vincent’s own words and letters and the Jack the Ripper letters matching up in timing and contents.

Money
Correct, Vincent relied on his brother Theo for all of his finances. But your lack of detailed research is showing. It’s not expected from you, though. You choose rather to make unwarranted attacks from a position of ignorance about what you speak. Vincent and Theo wrote back and forth regularly, and Vincent thanked Theo for the money he received. This provides the amount of money he was receiving, while also providing he had the money to travel each time. Even more so, their Uncle Cent died July 28, 1888, and part of his inheritance went to Theo. Vincent knew he could push Theo to get some of it, which he did relentlessly. Theo obliged and sent much more, and this provided Vincent the means to travel at just the right time to begin and continue the Ripper murders. In fact, it provided the starting point for the first murder, Tabram, on August 7.

Nobody said he was violent or had a dangerous attitude towards women:
Ha! You lack so much knowledge on the subject it’s embarrassing, which wouldn’t matter if you weren’t acting as if you know it all. Vincent attempted to attack Paul Gauguin with a razor before cutting off his own ear. He took a gun and went to the art instructor Cormon’s house to shoot him but he wasn’t home. And goodness, he was arrested because several women in Arles complained he was touching them in public.

You have no clue about the details of Vincent’s life, and your continued attacks, just as in the past, are baseless and rude. Believing it is your duty to trash someone else’s work based on what you think you know and not on what the facts are doesn’t match what a person who views themselves as investigating murders should be up to. If you can’t comment in a cordial manner and are going to continue your baseless attacks, why not move on to other things.
