Despite the length of time that has passed since he first terrorized London, enthusiasm and interest in Jack the Ripper has never been stronger. Which is why we're closer than ever to unmasking him (3:21)
I thought they had figured it out, some 35 times so far...lol
In the words of Bullwinkle J Moose, “this time for sure!”
“Proven”?
I doubt it
Probably trying to build a scientific consensus, similar to glowbull warming..
Maybe they can get Obama to endorse it and this mystery will be over.[sarc]
I’ll bet he was a Muslim.
After I clicked past the preliminary ads I got to the the first advertisements I learned there was a killer named then there was the second advertisement and it was “Jack The Ripper” and please click past the next ads I clicked so then I finally just think maybe James Smithson killed those people. So that’s that. Sorry if all the ads confused me but I suppose the man whose legacy is supported by taxpayer dollars - James Smithson was Jack the Ripper.
Hasn’t been said for a while...
It must be BOOOSH’S FAULT!!!!!
“Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.”
General Jack D. Ripper
THAT’S IT! Bullwinkle is Jack the Ripper. Now we can finally move on to other unsolved crimes.
...work ping....
DAMN; made me laugh so hard scotch went out my nose.
Okay I think I figured out who they are talking about:
“3:40 or 3:45 AM — Polly Nichols’ body is discovered in Buck’s Row by Charles Cross, a carman, on his way to work at Pickfords in the City Road., and Robert Paul who joins him at his request. “Come and look over here, there’s a woman.” Cross calls to Paul. Cross believes she is dead. Her hands and face are cold but the arms above the elbow and legs are still warm. Paul believes he feels a faint heartbeat. “I think she’s breathing,” he says “but it is little if she is.”
The two men agree that they do not want to be late for work and after arranging Nichols’ skirts to give her some decency, decide to alert the first police officer they meet on their way. They eventually meet PC Jonas Mizen at the junction of Hanbury Street and Baker’s Row and tell him of their find.
In the meantime, Nichols’ body has been found by PC John Neil, 97J. He signals to PC Thain who then joins him and the two are soon joined by Mizen. Thain calls for Dr. Rees Ralph Llewellyn, who resides nearby. The two return a few minutes later (around 3:50 A.M.) and Dr. Llewellyn pronounces life to have been extinct “but a few minutes.””

So they seem to be referring to Charles Cross, the carman, as their Ripper suspect. Seems like a good one to investigate, since this murder seems to have been interrupted before he completed his ritual. So if the carman wasn’t the one who interrupted the Ripper, he very well could have been the Ripper himself.

I’ve never believed the narrative that it was a royal doctor. Based on today’s forensics, it would have to be someone unassuming who fit in.
