Serial killer Jack Ripper caused a mass hysteria as if no killer had done before.
The story was alive after no one was caught by the killing of work women at the eastern end of London.
Jack The Ripper was the name of the pen that signed on a cold letter, which is cited by the killer printed in the London newspaper at the height of his terror.
Five women – Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly – were widely considered victims of Ripper, although he was attributed to later murder.
They were all killed in the strongest way that can be imagined around Whitechapel area between August and November 1888.
Their bodies were mutilated, many of which fell apart.
The Chapman’s uterus was taken, Eddowes removed her uterus and kidney, her face mutilated, while Kelly’s body was completely destroyed and her face weighed.
Such was the fear at the time that the streets of London were emptied after the night, leaving once a bustling Victorian main main border of Deathly silent, while Ripper wandered through the streets.
Jack The Ripper committed at least five killings in or near Whitechapel East End.
All the victims were prostitutes and all their corpses were crippled.
Scotland Yard was flooded with criminal investigations in a rough eastern area, leaving them overloaded and insufficient resources.
Their lack of arrests and continuous murder led to widespread criticisms for the sneer of the police effort to capture Ripper.
Volunteer citizens put themselves in to try to help in the case and a Whitechapel Awakeful Committee was formed.
Her members patrolled the streets seeking suspects and hired private detectives to end the threat.
The top of the suspects list were local butchers and surgeons due to the brutality of killings – Ripper was obviously not against blood.
Even Queen Victoria was aware of the painful killings and formed her own theory that Ripper must be a butcher.
The fact that many murders happened on weekends or state holidays also suggested that the killer was a regular worker who lived nearby.
Although the investigations have proven to be caused at the time, “Ripperologists” are still going through evidence to find the true identity of the killer.
The number of suspected suspects reaches more than a hundred.
Among them is the cotton dealer James Maybrick, who died a year after the last murder.
The diary that allegedly belongs to him detailed the murder, but his authenticity was challenged.
Thomas Cutbush, a violent criminal, is also among the doubt list.
At the time of the murders he worked in Whitechapel and allegedly hated prostitutes and gloomy fascination with drug and surgery.
The renowned poet Francis Thompson allegedly performed murder because he wrote about killing people, had surgical experience, and it was known that he was close to one prostitute in the Whitechapel area at the time.
The Ripper case was the first to cause the world’s medial rabies, and sparse speculations continue to this day.
Indeed, in January 2018, the mystery seemed to be approaching solving when an expert aligned the manuscript of two letters claiming they were from the killer.
Hundreds of such letters were sent to the police and the media, and their origin remained a mystery with many believing that journalists wrote them in an attempt to enhance the circulation.
But it seemed that a scientific study had threw a new light on mystery, focusing on the letter ‘Dear Boss’, in which the name Jack The Ripper appeared for the first time and the postcard ‘Saucy Jacky’.
He found similar linguistic constructions in both letters, such as the phrasal verb ‘for back holding’ as well as the similarities in the manuscript.
The recent theory that came to light in February 2018 is that Ripper may have been a Dutch serial killer and a sailor.
Crime Historian Dr. Jan Bondeson appointed Hendrik de Jong as the main suspect.
De Jong killed two women in his homeland and is believed to have traveled to London regularly.
Another suspect in the phenomenon is an American serial killer HH Holmes.
Lawyer Jeff Mudgett, Pra-Pra-Pranuk Holmes, who killed at least nine famous casualties.
