The dear boss letter was proven to be written by the editor of the news paper. He admitted it in 1888 to the police.

Awesome video thanks for sharing them days never to be forgotten ❤️ 👏 ♥️ 💖 thanks again

I think Thompson is the best of the suspects of whom had no known direct links to the crimes (not a witness in any sense and not at the crime scenes). He is the best of the "Conjecture" suspects, as there is a hell of lot that was very off about the man, and also there was his proximity to the whitechapel murder scenes, especially to Mary Kelly's.

FT checks more boxes than even Lechmere. If not for opium, I don't think any of these murders occur.

Not another one.

Very informative.

Sir john Williams ciurgian as jack the ripper and Listrade johnny from Lisbon Portugal

ANOTHER GUY WHO WAS NOT JACK 😅

Great presentation ...I will give you one thing he was a handsome dude instead of your normal Whitechapel fare...so I guess he could of put the ladies at ease in times of turmoil.

Such a brilliant and stunning movie!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It seems very plausible but I wonder why there isn't any handwriting evidence. It might be that none of the letters attributed to Jack the Ripper are actually from the murderer but it seems easy to compare with Thompson's. One can try to disguise his handwriting but there would be signs in any case.

Zzzzzzzzzz He starts talking about francis thompson fourteen minutes in. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Who is this ann elk and her theory

silly.

Simmmmmmmmmmm❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I dont remember which victim it was but one who had her face mutilated, to me ,resembled clown make up. The nose dark or missing, the eyes marked to look like a cross, the lines down the sides of the mouth. This is very similar to clown make up .

John simm is such a gorgeous and sexy guy. Wow, what a babe

Absolutely ridiculous. But everyone tries and capitalize in this and anyone who can wright halfway decent will try and do it to make s buck.

Ripper or not this was a fascinating man. Well worth the listen.

It's great to hear your take on this. Refreshing new suspect but Jesus tells people to leave everyone too. The same words but maybe that gives the suspect a possible Messiah complex.

It was Lechmere.

No they had him when he was standing over 2nd victim and they let him go

Francis Thompson was one of the greatest Catholic English poets of the 19th century, I dare say the greatest English poet of the 19th century. How dare you besmeerch his name. But as a protestant country, a country that calls Mary bloody, while Elizabeth is seen as great, what can one expect. Until you return to your roots, the Saracens will have their way with you. God bless

I’m convinced it was Charles Allen Lechmere

I feel like this got a bit too Dan brown

Way too much waffle and not enough facts....yawn yawn....

A monastery in the east end. Lol

Not him and certainly was not Charles Lechmere or Charles Cross as he named himself. (What's your name - Elton John. I live at and work at....) Lechmere named himself Cross to survive inLondon. The name got him employment and rooms to stay. You did not have to register a child name until 1875 the year Cross was 25 years old. He gave his correct address and place of work, Names did not have to be proved. Secondly after the second murder the police had two names Charles Cross and Robert Paul. I am sure they visited both to discover where they were on the night, They were never questioned again. A waterproof alibi would not be required to be recorded. Sorry but not him.

It makes a change to come across a documentary relating to the murders which is not sensationalist and trying to shock the viewer into believing that the candidate chosen is the murderer. Here are my reasons for thinking that Thompson was not the murderer: (1) The murderer was a non-entity, whose only claim to fame is that he got away with a grisly series of murders. Any candidate is almost certainly not a non-entity and therefore most unlikely to have committed them! (2) Thompson was, like Gull, Sickert, Druitt and Prince Albert Victor, too well-educated to have made the elementary spelling mistake made by the murderer. (3) Thompson had dark hair whereas the murderer had fair hair. (4) Thompson wore a long coat, whereas the murderer wore a jacket. The mystical explanation given for the double murder is superfluous: the murderer's goal was to extract bodily organs from his victims. He was disturbed by Diemschutz and his horse before he could mutilate Stride and that is why he looked for another victim.

Not really sold on Francis Thompson being Jack the Ripper. There may have been hundreds of men in London that were somewhat like him, or alot like him ! Just because he wrote some poems that were dark in nature, or made a reference to this or that, does not make him a prime suspect. I have studied the Ripper case for probably 18 years or so, and to me some of the best suspects in the case are barely even known to many people! The case will probably never be solved officially, which is really too bad ! My top 4 suspects for the title of Jack the Ripper are a dead - heat between the main man suspect James Kelly and Charles Allen Lechmere . I urge you to read up on James Kelly,yes he was in whitechapel the entire time of the murders , contrary to what people say about him being out of the country. He was a heavy favorite to be the killer early on , by some at Scotland Yard , they looked all over the city of London for him but he evaded them , and the police completely dropped the ball with him , and gave up, and he probably just kept on killing !! I could go on and on about him , but enough for now . Just do me a favor and watch on TH-cam this program called "Jack The Ripper " in America with N.Y.P.D. cold - case detective ED NORRIS . It could be that James Kelly killed about 7 - 9 prostitutes in whitechapel, and after Mary Kelly - not related ,escaped to New York in America , killed more prostitutes, and traveled all over east coast killing more victims , and slowly worked his way west - ward killing more women as he went . James Kelly kept a written journal of his movements in America , Ed Norris is able to track him in old newspaper articles. Wherever he spent any real amount of time , prostitutes are murdered full on "Ripper - Style", with cut throats , and mutilations !! He may have murdered another 8 - 12 victims in America ,before slowing way down probably because of age, I do not know. Just watch this program !!! Charles Allen Lechmere - excellent suspect!!! Also please study up on Frederick Bailey Deeming - If the top 2 were not it , Deeming could very possibly have been Jack The Ripper, he is a great fit , and was seen in Whitechapel multiple times during the murders - NO ,he was not in Australia at that time as some like to think, he was in Whitechapel !! In addition to that , he supposedly knew and was flirting with Catherine Eddowes , and also knew Mary Kelly , although I do not know how well. Please , check these suspects out !! Aaron Kosminski needs to be considered , but D.N.A. evidence is shaky , because it is said there was NO shawl even present when police arrived , and even if there was , who can determine WHEN those blood and semen stains were actually placed on the shawl!! It could have happened a month before , 6 months before , or even 1 year before. Who knows for sure ?? The D.N.A. samples cannot be traced directly to "The Night" that Catherine Eddowes was murdered!! Kosminski , and Eddowes may only have had sexual contact at one time , or another , who knows when ? Also , Kosminski seemed to not possess the brutal , violent , and extremely cunning mind - set that James Kelly or Frederick Deeming seemed to possess!! Not a superstar suspect as many believe he is , that is Aaron Kosminski. Francis Thompson ? - I really don't think so. 0:02

I think that the person who was responsible for the murders in Whitechapel and Spitalfields in 1888, wasn't a royal, a mad doctor, an artist, a businessmen, a solicitor or a person who would be out of place in Victoria's Whitechapel, and if we think of what type of person more recent serial killers are (Ian Brady, Peter Sutcliffe, Steve Wright, Mark Hobson from Yorkshire, the gay killer from North Wales, Colin Ireland, Denis Nielson, etc etc, they haven't been doctors, artist, surgeons, Prince's, actors, lawyers etc they have been dustbin men, lorry drivers, civil servants, handymen, etc. It's likely that the Whitechapel killer was a Victorian version of Peter Sutcliffe or Robert Black or Fred West etc.

Thanks for the upload. This went out 1 July 1988.

Just observing the photograph of Frances Thompson his eyes speak volumes.Pain is clear to me but curiously there is a stone cold looking in his eyes.never particularly studied people too much but one eye is said to represent the past and the other the present/future.very interesting hypothesis he certainly has a look about him that isn’t right

It’s 4:44am and this woke me just like Ken liked to do at that hour. He’s the sweetest genius I ever met.

jack was a sevco supporter and could see the writing on the wall when hun skelpers celtic fc were formed in 1888. first european champs btw 🍀🇮🇪

There are so many ripper theories. The most plausible to me is that he was a sailor who took revenge on the local unfortunates in the east end for giving him syphilis. Then he shipped out to New York City where he continued his killing spree but was caught and executed at SingSing NY prison.

A very nice guy and a talented director whose obsession with shocking his audience seriously damaged his career to the point where he was reduced to shooting movies with a camcorder in his own house.

1:45 The address on the plaque is wrong. Oops.

Pre tour vintage that begat riveting fictional impaled debts.

If you think it was him that is good enough there are no experts to say that he committed these crimes or didn't because no one nows who he was

I believe it was Francis Twolmety ! (you lying bastard !) in other words : no one knows who 'Jack the Ripper' was ! Every amateur (moronic) sleuth has their pet theory who this infamous murderer was

La escabrosa celebridad adquirida por el asesino serial Jack el Destripador se construyó a lo largo de un lapso inferior a las diez semanas. De hecho, desde el 31 de agosto de 1888 -óbito de la primera víctima canónica- pasando por la llamada Noche del doble acontecimiento y a lo largo de aquel octubre, donde sus matanzas representaron noticia de portada en los rotativos británicos, se consolidaría su reinado de terror. Esas escasas semanas fueron suficientes para que el mundo contara con un nuevo icono del miedo. Y, tras transcurrir un mes de octubre bajo una tensa calma precursora de tempestad, el pánico escalaría hasta sus cotas más elevadas. El 9 de noviembre de 1888 el desmembrador concretó la más espeluznante de sus malévolas hazañas cuando en el amanecer de ese día destrozó a Marie Jeanette Kelly, en el interior del lóbrego cuartucho que aquella atrayente cortesana rentaba en la pensión de Miller´s Court. Luego saldría para siempre de escena, esfumándose tan abruptamente cuán repentina había devenido su irrupción. Dejaría detrás de sí la sangrienta estela de un puñado de hechos acreditados y las semillas de una persistente leyenda que, de tanto prolongarse al cabo de los años, pareciera no alcanzar nunca su fin.

...womb removed? get history channel on it, those where clesrly aliens 😂

Nonsense.

Lechmere is the ripper he actually has a connection to every murder site,passing each site on the way to work and his mother home close to a murder site look at lechmere origin story

Jack the Ripper was intimate with the anatomical details of the human body. Any Jack the Ripper candidate must have been a man of learning. And steady of hand. A perfectionist. Obsessively so.

Todo encaja perfectamente. Tu teoría es muy probable.

I think Frances tumblety was Jack the ripper.

I don't see the vesica pisces on Thompson's tomb. The symbols actually form a D shape where they intertwine, WHICH would be a halfmoon shape. The three-quarter moon shape was equated with the vesica.

No-one is forced to read Francis Thompson anywhere in the world hardly anyone has heard of him let alone read him
