Great ... now we have Freddie the Ripper.

HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD...OR BAD???

[Holicheese]

Damn, you are fast.

[Grim]

A very strong case has been made that Jack the Ripper was in fact the midwife, Mary Pearcy, pictured above.

Jack the Ripper: A New Theory

[rabidralph]

Well, that's what the special said. Due to his using a knife and disembowling the victims, apparently one of the earliest Masons in ancient Egypt was killed in this manner because he would not divulge his secrets of stone cutting, etc. His rivals cut his throat and disembowled him.

The (dead) person that's highly suspected of being Jack the Ripper is buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetary, here in Rochester, NY, Is ‘The Ripper’ resting in Rochester?

His name was Francis Tumblety. He doesn't look much like Freddy Mercury...

I saw a special on TV a couple weeks ago on this subject.

It was almost hilarious.

They actually suggested Jack the Ripper was one of a group of several FAMOUS people at the time.

It was idiotic.

[skr]

Uh oh, LOL!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Investigators have even been able to pinpoint his address."

London, England.

I read a book by the author Patricia Cornwell; her theory is that Jack the Ripper was the artist Walter Sickert.

[TheBigB]

Tumblety was arrested in England on November 7, 1888, on charges of "gross indecency" (apparently for engaging in homosexual practices.) Since records show he was not released on bail until November 16th, he likely could not have been involved in the murder of Ripper victim Mary Jane Kelly (on Nov. 9th). Some have speculated, however, that he was released early and was not recorded.

Put a moustache on that guy, and he looks like the composite drawing!

[Varda]

Why am I not surprised the Brits come up with the image of a person who doesn't look English!

This is P-H-O-N-Y — as in bogus, false, fake, fraudulent, spurious; counterfeit, forged, feigned; pseudo, imitation, sham, mock, ersatz, synthetic, artificial; simulated, pretended, contrived, affected, insincere, inauthentic; informal pretend and put-on.

they had only the vaguest description of a man who they thought might have been the Ripper, and they weren't even sure that the person described was the perp.

The most logical suspect was a man named Nathan Kaminsky.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

The most logical suspect was a man named Nathan Kaminsky.

Agreed. The fact that the police pulled their men out of the neighborhood at the same time he was chucked into an asylum is telling.

Re: My Reply 55 above:

The prime suspect's name was Aaron Kosminski, not Nathan Kaminsky.

[RegulatorCountry]

Yep, she's a Brit alright.

[Oberon]

Hmmm. Walter Sickert doesn't look much like the artist's concept image.

[SJSAMPLE]

Yep.
Pure bullshit.

Ask these professionals how many serial killers have actually been caught by profiling techniques.

Answer: NONE.

Even Ted "The Unabomber" was caught after his brother read his manifesto in the NYT and turned him in.

Every few years, some dumbass claims to know the identify of the "real" killer. Here's a hint, why don't these experts find the real killer so OJ can get back to golf?
