Who was Jack the Ripper?
Casebook: Jack the Ripper - Main
Ive always been fascinated by the Ripper murders. That Druitt guy found a timely way to top himself. Not that Im suggesting who did it.
I too have always been intrigued with Jack. Whoever it was was a viscious, brutal man.
You ever watch the movie "From Hell" Miles? Pretty good flick.
Yes, I thought it was quite good. As entertainment. Always intrigues me seeing the London streets all fogged up.Quote:

That was a pretty good movie. I enjoyed it. Wasn't Ripper like the first serial killer or something like that?Quote:

I new it was something like that. I'm trying to remember the movie he was the one that killed the prostitutes right, he would cut out there insides or something, and sew em back up right?Quote:

I read the book about his diary and from that gathered that he was virtually a dead cert for the killer.
However I think most Ripper experts wern't convinced so maybe the diary wasn't authentic.
I seriously doubt it was the prince Albert or Lewis Carroll though.
I read loads on it back in the day, was a pretty interesting tale.
I have always hated reading about him
I thought he was vile, stupid and probably a homo..... :flame:
oh wait I thought we were talking about Saddo....
sorry
carry on :flame:
The reason he was never caught was because there was no killer. All 5 chicks committed suicide

Because women like cutting their own throats and disemboweling themselves on a regular basis. Silly head. He might be related to you and was just interested in eating plop globs straight from the pipes:tease-new:

This thread has gone to shit! :rolleyes:;D
Plopeater, what are you on about? Mary Kelly must have been on one serious downer to have commited suicide like that. "Oh, I think I will cut off my breasts first. And then slice out my intestines and then consider partially removing my ears....and so on and so on".
That was the work of a calculated, intelligent man. A seriously fucked up person, but one that has left a lot of intrigue. I agree with Baggins that was unlikely to be any of the "celebrity" connections.
My hunch is that it may well have been Montague Druitt. However, it really is just a hunch. As with most of the suspects there isnt all that much evidence. His suicide coincided with the murders ceasing. Anything more certain than that is hazy. There is an interesting account of him over at the casebook site.
