There are a wide range of documentaries on Jack the Ripper available on TH-cam and physical media, so it’s difficult by now to produce a film that offers insights or perspectives that aren’t by now well-tread. Despite this, this film manages to remain original, informative and interesting, covering points often underdeveloped or omitted by other documentaries on the matter. Well done and thank you.

For me the best Ripper Murders documentary so far. No dramatic music, no gory slasher movie graphics, no repetitive information and no celebrity involvement. While all these salacious elements were omitted the grim reality and horror of the murders was not at all diminished. Well done to all involved.
Best documentary I've seen in years and I've watched some excellent ones. Well balanced, informative, intelligent and the two hours plus flew by. Congratulations to all involved.
As a doctoral student who is finishing their dissertation at the present and has maintained a strict interest in the Whitechapel Murders, my hats are off to those involved in this superb documentary. Not only does this documentary bring together a diverse group of educated scholars on the subject, but it does not try to bring anything new to the table except the bare facts. This is without a doubt, one of the most sound and true works to date on the Whitechapel Murders. I greatly enjoyed watching this!
Thank you for the kind words. The history of the Whitechapel murders is too often clouded with sensation and ulterior motives. Unfortunately, the bullshit tends to drown out the realities. At very least, this documentary and its participants have presented an honest and informed effort to provide at least a bit of clarity.
Always nice to see a docu that goes into the details, told by people who have spent a very long time researching this case but without feeling the need to push their 'favourite' suspect into your face and cherry pick facts or possibilities they like while omitting others that doesn't fit their narrative. Well done!
Halfway through and had to stop here and say wow! Great documentary,people who know their stuff,well researched,right up my street. Well done to all involved 👏🏼❤️
Soo much info that we've never heard about before By far the best 'Ripper' doc I've seen! Well put together documentary, intelligent people who have done some good research
Personally, I don't have a preferred suspect--the thing that keeps me digging are the unanswered questions, the puzzle pieces that never quite fall into place. Over the years I find myself less interested in the identity of Jack, and more curious about peripheral players, how they got caught up in the story, what their motivations were. Having said that, I think this is a great documentary--well above the standard fare. The experts are knowledgeable and easy to listen to, there's none of the usual melodrama and no conspiracy theories (thank you). I wish all Ripper documentaries were like this one.
@TSFilms2024, are there any codes like canonical 5 ? Ical means pertaining to? Canon swap the a and o and you get Conan, was a crime writer of the time scripts films and stage work ?=Conan pertaining to 5 staged crime scenes code 1 ?the trigger for the beginning of the 5 ? Code2 llwelyn first coroner at the first murder scene? Llwelyn was the last king of Wales and the last Prince of Wales? Maybe the Royal connection? Juwes goggle it ?I got related to the 3 assassins of the masonic order? Juwes are the MEN (plural) ?please fact-check everything?
This was the best telling of these crimes. These men took their time telling the facts that are known. Really well done. I learned a lot more from them.
The man who's book inspired the movie from hell, was a local reporter who was looking into writing an article on the murders in the 1970s. He was told to talk to an old nun, who still live in the area. She said to him "if the last murder was done first, all the other women would have survived. What did she know..?
The first 3/4 of the film is stuff I pretty much already knew (well done, though). However, the arguments for Kosminski (answering the inconsistencies of him as a suspect) were new to me and definitely moved me closer to thinking he was Jack. Thanks for uploading!
I totally disagree with Tabram. It is likely there are many stages for the killer. To pretend than we know one of them is nothing more than a guess. If you want Tabram, then Millwood then Ada miller then Kosminski with a knife on his sister; how far back do you want to go with this fantasy? Tabram was stabbed by two weapons, pen knife and bayonet! It is lie to suggest this was a sexually motivated lust killing would mean the sexual parts would be the focus and that is not true. 9 in the throat, 1 in the heart, 7 in the lungs, 5 in the liver, 6 in the stomach, 2 in the spleen and 1 “lower in the body” The sexual context to stabbing in this case is Piquerism - sexual arousal when the knife penetrates the skin. Ripper was slashing and carving and removing parts. It is wishful thinking to assume any of knows when the Ripper started or why he stopped.
As much as I believe Kosminski was one of the least plausable suspects in my opinion, This however was a really good watch regardless and the level of detail of all these respected Riperilogists is imense. Hats off for getting it an almost a facts only docunentary. .
That was amazing. I love how the documentary is structured with those great interviews. Congratulations! (I think English subtitles can be generated here but if you ever add official subtitles, I'll watch it again)
These people have done a great deal of work and research which I certainly appreciate. It does of course boil down to "I don't know and neither do you " Just the same as it always has. I guess it comes down to these people don't know who Jack the Ripper was but they are more qualified than the rest of us to say they don't know. Not a great claim to fame. But you take what you can get I guess.
If you read the Book 'Jack The Ripper Spells It Out'! Jack himself lets you know who he his. You can get to see a Video on here called the same Jack The Ripper Spells It Out, promoting the Book.
About the letters, in that time and in that area, it is also just as likely that the actual killer would not have known how to read and write or not how to read and write in English. Given he is generally believed to be middle to low class and living and killing in the poorest part of London and possibly an immigrant. People left education very early in life back then especially if they were poor, if they ever even got any education at all. Education was a luxury.
A big assumption that people could not read or write. Indeed Aaron's records state under education "R&W " . I suggest it's unlikely that it would record such if it did not include English. However, I seriously doubt any of the famous letter were from the killer
@@stevenblomer7738I don’t think you and Marnie’s points are that distant from each other. You’re right of course that with the introduction of primary school education in the 1830s, most people would have had basic literacy by 1888. But given working class children often left school at 10, it would have been basic literacy, and certainly not to the extent of writing letters like those received, seems to be what Marnie is saying.
Because they were strangled. They were dead before he actually started "ripping" them, which also explains why the ripper wouldn't be covered in blood.
All wrong. They had there backs to him. Think logical Dirty cold wet streets, your a working woman. Your trade is performed with you bent over with your back to yr client. Jack would not be seen taking out a knife From behind he holds your mouth and cuts your throat He can apply a lot more force cutting the throat with him behind No way a working woman offers herself in any other position unless she has a room Poor woman wouldn't see it cuming until his hand has smothered her mouth
I firmly think these murders have a gang connection. Probably the monkey parade gang, Martha Tabram reported being attacked by three men, and it’s reported there could have been another man around during Strides murder. Many of the bobbies on the beat did apparently point the finger at the monkey parade gang. It could have been to get the ladies of the night to pay protection money. Apparently many of the full time street walkers did so and many of these part time girls didn’t know the score and were brutally dealt with to send a message to the other girls. Indeed some of the street walkers actually said they knew who did it but were too afraid to come forward, I don’t think one man would have struck such terror into all these ladies but a gang? Certainly! I do believe the actual ripper was one of this group a sick and violent individual but was part of the gang. Also gang members of the time apparently did cut peoples pockets open in such a way in muggings.
Here is my take after reading and watching vatious things on Jack The Ripper. This documentary was well made, and interesting. But if the witnesses are stating that the suspect was in his thirties, and that Kosminski was roughly ten years younger that is a big jump. Also, I think that Charles Lechmere is worth serious consideration
This is a fascinating case that will never be solved. Who ever he was, he took that secret to his Grave, probably a pauper's grave at that. Who knows he even might be lying next to one of his Victims.
I'm actually reading an interesting book about Jack the Ripper and the author has named whom he believes is the killer of these "unfortunates" as they were called back then. I'll continue watching this to see what they come up with. It's a very informative video of the lifes and struggles of that area of Whitechapel.
Interesting documentary, thanks for posting. Always thought that the ripper would have been a functioning individual, much like Sutcliff or Brady, not a raving lunatic who ate out of the gutter. I think that if the very 1st victim could be identified then the ripper would also be identified, the 1st victim would likely be his mother or wife.
From documentaries I have seen and books I have read, I think Charles Lechmere/Cross is a good candidate. Aaron Kosminski is probably second for me. Of course we will never know for sure. It did seem from the police notes that they could have possibly knew who the killer was and that he was locked up for something else so they knew the threat was over. But who knows for sure. The police certainly had a lot less to work with at that time and being policeman or detectives was still a fairly new profession then.
Like you said the police obviously had a lot more information to hand than we do today. As we say in the documentary who ever they think did it probably did it. Great comment thanks for watching
Problem was, the police were ignorant and bigoted in their views back then and didn't understand either serial killers or those with mental health issues. They were as clueless and off base about the culprit's identity as the police were in Yorkshire nearly a hundred years later.
As a true crime buff I enjoyed watching this. Personally I don't think JTR is any of the known suspects or person's of interest. That said, I may very well be wrong.
Charles lechmere is the ripper there is no way that one man could have and this is the funny thing he either walked by every victim murder site on his way to work or on his way home or close to his mom's house there is no way in the world he is unluckiest guy in the world to have either pass each murder site on his way to work or coming home from work or visiting his mother's house which is insanely improbably never ever going to happen again in this lifetime
@@midcitycool3946 But he didn't walk by every murder site on his way to work, did he ? Stride and Eddowes were killed during the weekend and were not on his route to work. Whitechapel is very small : anyone wo lived in the heart of it would be close to every murder site and you have no idea if he even visited his mother that weekend. Kelly probably was a holiday too and she lived in the most notorious street of Whitechapel. Her TOD is unclear. Chapman more or less was on his route to work but according to the witnesses was murdered when he should have been at work for over an hour ? You could add Tabram into the mix, but that would require him to take a completely different route (which we don't know he ever took). So that leaves us with Nichols and yes he found her. That's it.
@@LucasLucas-ne4xs “and he found her. That’s it”. This statement demonstrates your ignorance to the nuances of this incident. Not all the women were on his route to work. But they don’t have to be for the Lechmere theory to work. Nichols was. Chapman was killed near the spot Lechmere and Paul parted ways 8 days prior. If you know true crime, you should understand to be skeptical of witness testimony. Especially when it’s in conflict with a medical professional. Jackson’s remains were discovered nearby. Turner was killed near his route. Catherine & Liz were killed in an area he grew up in and near his moms on his night off. True we don’t know if he visited, but it’s possible. The Pinchin St torso was discovered under a railway arch, yards from the very spot where he lived with his mom, sister and stepdad. Just another coincidence, huh? Mary was killed on his night off. She had an apartment owned by Andrew McCarthy who also owned the school Charles’ kids attended. So they likely crossed paths.
@@davesmith7432 Yes, I'm ignorant to all the ins and outs Lechmerians come up with to "make" their theory work, but I know the basic facts, thank you for your condecending remark. I did say Nichols was on his route. He found her. Chapman was too (sort of), but your firm belief in the expertise of a medical professional that contradicts 3 witnesses has nothing to do with true crime, does it ? He has to be right for Cross to be not at work. The fact this medical professional uses a method to establish TOD that is problematic does not matter. Without any instuments to take the core temperature of the body and without any knowledge about what causes rigor mortis and the many factors that make it appear very soon or very late (both personal to the victim and the circumstances in which the body was found) it is no more than a guess. An estimation that modern medical knowledge finds highly unreliable. Turner (or Tabram) was on a route we don't even know he ever took. If she was a JTR victim (very possible) Jackson or any Torso victim on the other hand are very unlikely to be JTR victims, in fact some of them may very well not even be murder victims. Let's try to concentrate on the canonical five to point the finger at the Pickfords carman, shall we ? That seems difficult enough as it is. Oh and the owner of Kellys appartment also owned the school Charles' children attended ? (How many children attended that school ?) That is new to me indeed. Yes, you are right, that link is the nail in his coffin. I guess the landlord must have organised regular parties for his tenants, the children that attended school in the building he owned and their parents. He surely must have met her and known her and decided to kill her.. I mean really ?
To me as a student of this case it totally fits ,,a small boring insignificant individual (Christie, Sutcliffe, West ,Brady etc ) against some kind of Victorian avenging Angel with a top hat and government and freemasonry backing ,,, serial killers are usually small insignificant little men with a Napoleon complex lets not foget the women that this animal butchered and just be sorry it didnt meet Mr Marlowe ,,,,🎩
The injuries to Catherine eddowes face happened in two phases.... obviously the slash is through the eyelids and the Vs under the eyes happened post mortem.... but the cut that went through her nose and through her cheek happened during the initial struggle.... if you don't believe me... hold your hand up to your neck like it's the edge of a knife... now pull your face down and to the left trying to get away from it and see where your hand is.... also it's possible that the piece of apron was thrown down by Eddows herself after using it as a makeshift piece of toilet paper....
Depending on the duration of strangulation the heart may continue to beat for several minutes to up to an *hour* !. - As stated by Steven Blomer here, the time of death is difficult to determine.
this is great ....research from the old classic Ripper books ..Ripper casebook ...real ...no modern rubbish suspect books or MSM rubbish ...deep facts in to the case.
ive walked up the passage in 29 hanbury street and i can tell everyone you needed alot of guts to murder someone out the back yard and get away like he did narrow and must have been seen by someone there unless he was lodging there at the time
@@TSFilms2024 i am 70 i went there with the school trip to see big ben and westminster abbey they took us there aswell in 1967 you cant see the back yard from the front door its about 2 feet to the right the yard was in a right old mess very scary place
I romantically think when you die we find out about everything, ha , for me ,who definitely killed Kennedy , and jack the rippers identity are 2 facts worth dying for . Haha , i don't mean prematurely like .
Every person named as a suspect by everyone over the year's I question all of it. The Ripper people have no idea who it he is and ever since people just like to make people fit. The suspect jack the Ripper will never be truly known no matter how much people try to make people fit👍
Israel Schwartz did not see Liz Stride Murdered, as he ran away, so who is to say the person he is supposed to have immediately recognised when brought to Police HQ was the murderer?...Also, Aaron Kosminski does not appear to be sighted by witnesses at or near the other 4 murders, so it seems a huge stretch to say Kosminski was JTR and did the Canonical 5 murders...No definitely ascertained facts in this case, just supposition. Cheers Guys fm Damo.😀👍
It's "balance of probability". Sure, there's no way we can be "certain" about 99% of the stuff we think we know " (I think that's the reason for the tongue in cheek title of this documentary, rather than being a case for Kosminski.) but the likelihood of her being in 2 violent confrontations in the exact same spot, one immediately after the other where you would expect her to be on guard for the second... certainly be ready to at least give a good scream on a second attack. It's not impossible, but highlly improbable.
@@andrewtomlinson5237 More than likely the person seen forcing Liz Stride onto the ground, took off after two people saw him and I'd say that perpetrator was not Kosminski, as there is no info on him ever having assaulted a women in the street. Probably a half drunk man who Liz said no to was this person....A woman that lived a couple of houses up said she didn't hear anything but people walking past, then quite a break of no noise as she locked her front door and then she heard the sound of a horse and cart going by.....Louis Diemshlitz for sure, but a 2nd person cud easily have tried to pick-up Liz in this period of time and she again said no, as she waiting for someone from inside the Jewish Club. That person she said no to, may have slashed her throat...Cud also have been her live in lover, Michael Kidney, who is mentioned in this video. She was said to be having a tumultuous relationship with him and he cud easily have slashed her throat from the front and she fell to the ground inside the doorway in a domestic violence assault in the street...She had cashews in her hand when found, so a sudden attack occurred.....She was on her side, not on her back and was not mutilated, so not likely a JTR killing, IMHO...Michael Kidney has to be the prime suspect and he went to the Police the next day, but didn't confess to the killing...No scream from Liz coz it was Michael Kidney suddenly slashing her with a short-bladed knife....The other 4 JTR Murders done with long-bladed knives, so the person who killed LIz then goes and kills Eddowes 45 Minutes later with a long-bladed knife....Why didn't the killer use the long-bladed knife on both, if done by the same person, as is proposed by many ripperologists?...Liz a Victim of Domestic Violence, IMHO. Cheers fm Damo.😀👍
One thing that annoyed me a lot was a small remark made by Steve Blomer, made in his take on the Chapman murder. He says that doctor Phillips, who examined the body, arrived at the conclusion that Chapman had been dead for around two hours, and possibly longer than so. What that remark does, is to nail down that Phillips suggested that Chapman had been dead for around two hours, leaving ppen the possibility that it could perhaps have been even more. But in actual fact, Phillips did not say that Chapman had been dead for two hours and possibly longer. He said she had been dead for AT LEAST two hours, and PROBABLY LONGER! Meaning that two hours was not Phillips ´suggestion at all, it was his absolute minimum, while in fact he suggested that two hours was in all likelihood too short a time - it was probably longer, meaning that the next stop on the road is three hours. We should always take great care nbot to try and move the goalposts in cases like these, otherwise we may come across as somebody with an agenda. The three witnesses in the Chapman case become a lot less credible when we put them into the real context, and that is of great importance.
Then maybe you should take into account that the doctor added a caveate, accepting that the loss of blood, and external temperature may have affected his Guestimate. And like it or not, that's what hisTOD was.
@@stevenblomer7738 As you should be very well aware, that caveat can be interpreted as attaching to one out of two possibilities. Either Phillips said ”She has been dead at least two hours and probably more. But it may also be that she has been dead an hour only”, or he said ”She has probably been dead for more than two hours, but since the wounds were extensive and the night cold, I am willing to accept two hours as a minimum”. What makes most sense? A doctor who says ”at least two hours” and sticks to his guns, or a doctor who says ”at least two hours and probably more”, but who is then ready and willing to disqualify himself by allowing for HALF the minimum time he just stated as his belief? Regardless of this (non) conundrum, why would you not quote Phillips ad verbatim? Why alter his bid in a fashion that effectively detracts time from the suggestion he made? That is the question here.
@@thetruth7386 More like trying not to have the fact swept under the carpet that Dr Phillips opted for around at least three hours as the likely time of death. It is not my fault that item after item is in line with Lechmere being the killer, and I don't have to shoehorn anything. History and the written record takes care of the case against the carman without any help from my side. I find it a lot more troublesome that somebody should call a doctors considered verdict "shoehorning" (it was Phillips suggestion, not mine), but I guess you are trying to put the wrong shoes on histories legs when they are accelerating away from yourself. Understandable enough, it is never a good feeling when that happens, is it? Anyway, you are fine with Steven Blomer misrepresenting the case, it seems? How did you arrive at that stance? Mr Truth? Or is it Mrs?
I don't buy Kosminski as JTR. If Schwartz is the witness and he saw Kosminski near/arguing with Stide and subsequently identified him, all that means is he saw him before Stride was murdered and no one knows the exact time that happened. I also have doubts Stride is a JTR victim. Furthermore, other witnesses describe a man who doesn't resemble Kosminski - "carrot man", "blotchy face" etc.
None of the Ripper victims would have been on the missing persons lists, and most people who are reported missing are found. Why do you think that the one more accurately reflects the other?
i would like to kow how many women who were mufdered had their left arm put like kellys i think there were all of them it must mean something to the ripper to leave it this way
the reason the police back then did not catch the ripper is because they had no clue what a serial killer was or how to catch one. they did talk to him but only because he came to them!! we can thank a lady named sara Lewis for that cause had she not seen him we would never know of him, when he heard he was seen it spooked him just enough for him to give a made-up statement. now i knew if i was going to catch the ripper i needed to look at the facts and use nothing from the police at that time i used todays tools and what i have learned from studying serial murder. I went through all the suspects and there was only one man who fit in every way and that man was George Hutchinson Aka Jack the ripper and i am 100% sure he is the ripper. i can tell he was listening to what was being said because his statement shows this and is full of his EGO most serial killers get caught because of their ego and the ripper was different when he heard them say he must be a Jew he wrote the message on the wall. He knew he had been seen with Kate Eddowes and was dressed as a sailor and had on a red handkerchief and that's why he said the man he saw Mary Kelly with gave her a handkerchief and made sure to say it was red! when they were saying it must be a rich toff down slumming he gave the man he said was with Mary Kelly. as a rich toff with a gold watch and chain with a red stone in it. now police should have at least caught this red flag, when Mary asked George for money, they were on the most dangerous street in all of London! the police only went down it when there was at least three or more. so, no rich guy is going to let that gold watch and chain be seen or he would have been robbed! There was no man with Mary Kelly he stalked her back to her flat and waited 45 minutes in a light rain until it was clear, but Sara Lewis saw him. He was mad at Mary for asking for money, so she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. he had to stay close to home because of all the police looking for him and when Mary asked for money, he made her the next victim. she normally would not have been attacked because Jack targeted older drunk women. the reason this case has not been solved is because of mans greed! the scumbag authors who think they can catch a killer when they have no clue what the hell they are looking for and that is why there are so many suspects and most of them should never have been a suspect. we are looking for the hard evidence for the court we hope to find it soon. we will not put out any books or documentary as we did this for the victims and their families.
joey really good to know your still around mate - have you seen Richard Jones latest if not it might be worth your while - G H gets tracked down ( all to easily perhaps ? ) Check it out mate it's about a new and plausible suspect but the chap says he might be able to give you + others a leg up with Hutchinson - Good luck fella .
I'd change that title. "Definitely ascertained" may be grammatically correct, but its not a phrase in use in common English and for me, appears somewhat confusing and contradictory.
He used the piece of eddowes apron to wipe his knife on as it had blood and faeces on it. If he'd used it to just wipe his hand that he'd cut where did the human waste come from. It came from her obviously. He could have just wiped his knife on her apron but decided to cut it out taking more time. He wrote the insult to jews as israel Schwartz was Jewish and he noticed this. It's not cast iron but that's how it went imo. Carroty man didn't have a Carroty complexion he had a blotchy face and Carroty coloured Tash.
@@jamescorlett5272 Well you certainly know your stuff James I've read a few of your comments before and if i remember right you don't go along with the Lechmere theory for one. I tend to ignore all the hype et cetera and go with what seems the simplest theory. Schwartz from what I've seen couldn't speak English and most likely was a quiet family man who kept himself to himself apart from folk close to him. So the wording LIPSKY by the man suspected of being jack is more likely something he didn't know much about so I doubt he'd be spinning a yarn. There's always questions though and we can only speculate. What one person says another can give reasons why it isn't so. I also don't understand why people believe jack was disturbed by diemschitz. It was 15 minutes after she was seen being assaulted so if he was still there then he'd have to be a different man. And the chances of that are doubtful as I can't see two different men assaulting her then killing her. If say Schwartz was making things up the he would have guessed extremely well as a Liz was there if u get what I mean. Unless he found out about it then wanted to spin a story which I thinks not true. Maybe Richard Jones and others have another reason why they believe that the killer was still there.
@@paulanthony5274 Thanks for your reply Paul I'm knackered and will try to add something to your reply tomorrow- I don't really know " stuff " with me it's things that stand out that are excepted without question in the murders like Schwartz who seemingly comes in very handy to rap matters up After? the murders etc.
Yes, I know what you mean about Schwartz and what he was supposed to have said about possibly kosminski which seems dodgy. Was it you who said Hutchinson was a possible suspect ? From some of the witness testimony the cry of murder by maybe Kelly was around 4 am and someone was heard leaving or walking around at 4:45 . It's possible it was JTR leaving. But other possibilities are there..
👿🔱😈..what is the history of why people think he used a liston knife..to me its the last practical knife one could use..is it just because some thought he might be a surgeon
@@stevenblomer7738 I don't subscribe to the theory that he was a surgeon.. but I am curious how butcher a butcher or common man would know about human Anatomy.. killing a person and getting their kidney out of them quickly before the cops caught him the person had to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of human anatomy
@@stevenblomer7738 they also mentioned in the video one murder was finished within 8 minutes.. think that it would be almost impossibly hard to slay a person and write on a wall and get away in 8 min.. makes me think the cops were a lot closer to jack then they might have ever known.. perhaps he was a witness some serial killers have a great desire to be close to their crimes and close to those investigating it.. edward kemper actually went to a cop bar to mingle and ask police about the search
I believe that it most matched the "description" of the type of weapon that could have been used but was introduced by Ripperologist Donald Rumbelow... who claims to be in possession of a Liston knife that was somehow connected to the investigation. There is obviously no way to prove it and he doesn't claim that it is fact but he had connections to someone who had it in their possession and gave it to him as they knew he was a serious collector of true crime memorabilia.
Excellent documentary but I have to disagree. The police chiefs were by no means unanimous that the killer was a Polish Jew. Sir Robert Anderson writing his memoirs was never going to admit the most infamous criminal of his day had got away so he blamed a ‘low class Polish Jew’ who had conveniently been committed to an asylum. The Jewish Chronicle described his assertion that a Jew would not give up another to a gentile as an antisemitic slur, refuting it as “erroneous” and “ridiculous”. And there is no evidence that Kosminski ever attacked anyone!
@kevster2171, really??? The "jewish chronicle" said uppity "filthy goyim" speculating about or asserting such things about "god's chosen race/tribe/ppl" is "pure evil" ("anti-semitism") ??? Wow!!! Thanks for informing us uppity "goyim" (goyim,aka "unclean beasts of the Earth that solely exist to be slaves of the j's"... as their/your "holiest" books all say & as most j's still believe + practice to this day, as they did in the time of the Egyptian Pharaohs, as they did when Alexander's phalanxes marched eastward, as they always will) that "god's chosen race" who condemn Germans for "master race" did nothin wrong, as usual. What bold brave "anti supremacists" j's are! Openly proclaiming themselves "god's chosen race" as they also proclaim race doesn't even exist, even as they simultaneously proclaim it does ("racism/uniquely evil Nazi's," aka hetero white European & "white privilege," privilege... despite the fact it's j's who are presently the richest most powerful race on the planet) even as they proclaim it also simultaneously does not exist ("we all bwleed wed!" ) as they simultaneously promote race ("you bigots must allow yourselves to be buried by 3rd world invaders without complaint, they're seeking a better life you arrogant bastards"..) "A better life"??? Hmmm, so white Europeans do have in born hardwired biological advantages (over them) after all. Africa is the wealthiest continent of all, so dont bother trying that.

@@jimlewis2395 if there was evidence for anybody, Jack the Ripper would have been caught. There are very convincing reasons for why Lechmere could be the ripper. As convincing as most other suspects.
"The best ending for everyone" WTF? Well it wasn't the best ending for the victims who got no justice. Was Kosminsky the kind of man the victims would trust, a nutter who barely spoke English? Why would he leave the bloody apron with the graffiti that implicated 'Juwes'? Makes no sense. Great documentary but I would have liked to see other suspects considered.
@@Ken_Scaletta one where the killer was tried and convicted. I don't see why the apron would have been deposited next to the graffiti if it had no relevance, assuming it was already there.
@@kevster2171 Walls always had graffiti on them. In the dark, I doubt it was even possible to read them, nor would there have been any reason to do so by anyone discarding a garment and trying to make a quick escape. Any wall was probably going to have graffiti on it and antisemitic graffiti would have been common.
@@Ken_Scaletta Bear in mind this was on the doorway of a mainly Jewish tennament in a busy market st. I don't think chalked antisemitic graffiti would have lasted long. I take your point though that it was probably a red herring.

What did you expect, jack himself admitting his guilt? Lol there's only so many ways you can tell such a story for those who have read every book ,film etc so why oh why Mr expert did you watch in the first place lol .WOW..

If it wasn't Lechmere and if he was disturbed by a curtain moving in a house or a light coming on, possibly due to someone hearing something, then why did nobody come forward to say that heard anything?
@@stevenblomer7738Lilley said nothing for almost a week, and then to a reporter most likely just to get her name in the paper. The police dismissed her claim. Rightly so. There were a lot of story tellers wanting to involve themselves into the tale. Lilley was probably one of them.
There are a wide range of documentaries on Jack the Ripper available on TH-cam and physical media, so it’s difficult by now to produce a film that offers insights or perspectives that aren’t by now well-tread. Despite this, this film manages to remain original, informative and interesting, covering points often underdeveloped or omitted by other documentaries on the matter.
Well done and thank you.
Thank you so much, great feedback. Glad you enjoyed!

For me the best Ripper Murders documentary so far. No dramatic music, no gory slasher movie graphics, no repetitive information and no celebrity involvement. While all these salacious elements were omitted the grim reality and horror of the murders was not at all diminished. Well done to all involved.

As a doctoral student who is finishing their dissertation at the present and has maintained a strict interest in the Whitechapel Murders, my hats are off to those involved in this superb documentary. Not only does this documentary bring together a diverse group of educated scholars on the subject, but it does not try to bring anything new to the table except the bare facts. This is without a doubt, one of the most sound and true works to date on the Whitechapel Murders. I greatly enjoyed watching this!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for your kind works and support :)
As a PhD student with a docorate and a Bachelors degree from oxford I agree 😂
Thank you for the kind words. The history of the Whitechapel murders is too often clouded with sensation and ulterior motives. Unfortunately, the bullshit tends to drown out the realities. At very least, this documentary and its participants have presented an honest and informed effort to provide at least a bit of clarity.

Always nice to see a docu that goes into the details, told by people who have spent a very long time researching this case but without feeling the need to push their 'favourite' suspect into your face and cherry pick facts or possibilities they like while omitting others that doesn't fit their narrative.

Fantastic work. Great cinematography and superbly informative.
Thank you very much mate
Personally, I don't have a preferred suspect--the thing that keeps me digging are the unanswered questions, the puzzle pieces that never quite fall into place. Over the years I find myself less interested in the identity of Jack, and more curious about peripheral players, how they got caught up in the story, what their motivations were. Having said that, I think this is a great documentary--well above the standard fare. The experts are knowledgeable and easy to listen to, there's none of the usual melodrama and no conspiracy theories (thank you). I wish all Ripper documentaries were like this one.

The man who's book inspired the movie from hell, was a local reporter who was looking into writing an article on the murders in the 1970s.

The first 3/4 of the film is stuff I pretty much already knew (well done, though). However, the arguments for Kosminski (answering the inconsistencies of him as a suspect) were new to me and definitely moved me closer to thinking he was Jack. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed :)
Great documentary. Well done.
On behalf of the whole Team, Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always believed martha tabram/ turner was a JTR victim. And nothing will change my mind.
We agree, thanks for watching !!
I totally disagree with Tabram. It is likely there are many stages for the killer. To pretend than we know one of them is nothing more than a guess. If you want Tabram, then Millwood then Ada miller then Kosminski with a knife on his sister; how far back do you want to go with this fantasy?
Tabram was stabbed by two weapons, pen knife and bayonet! It is lie to suggest this was a sexually motivated lust killing would mean the sexual parts would be the focus and that is not true. 9 in the throat, 1 in the heart, 7 in the lungs, 5 in the liver, 6 in the stomach, 2 in the spleen and 1 “lower in the body” The sexual context to stabbing in this case is Piquerism - sexual arousal when the knife penetrates the skin. Ripper was slashing and carving and removing parts. It is wishful thinking to assume any of knows when the Ripper started or why he stopped.
As much as I believe Kosminski was one of the least plausable suspects in my opinion, This however was a really good watch regardless and the level of detail of all these respected Riperilogists is imense. Hats off for getting it an almost a facts only docunentary. .
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching.
That was amazing. I love how the documentary is structured with those great interviews. Congratulations!

These people have done a great deal of work and research which I certainly appreciate. It does of course boil down to "I don't know and neither do you " Just the same as it always has. I guess it comes down to these people don't know who Jack the Ripper was but they are more qualified than the rest of us to say they don't know. Not a great claim to fame. But you take what you can get I guess.

six minutes to go!
About the letters, in that time and in that area, it is also just as likely that the actual killer would not have known how to read and write or not how to read and write in English. Given he is generally believed to be middle to low class and living and killing in the poorest part of London and possibly an immigrant. People left education very early in life back then especially if they were poor, if they ever even got any education at all. Education was a luxury.
Good point thanks for watchinf
A big assumption that people could not read or write.
Indeed Aaron's records state under education "R&W " .
I suggest it's unlikely that it would record such if it did not include English.
However, I seriously doubt any of the famous letter were from the killer
@@stevenblomer7738I don’t think you and Marnie’s points are that distant from each other. You’re right of course that with the introduction of primary school education in the 1830s, most people would have had basic literacy by 1888. But given working class children often left school at 10, it would have been basic literacy, and certainly not to the extent of writing letters like those received, seems to be what Marnie is saying.
My one burning question, yet to be answered, is why out of 5 victims, did none get the chance to scream ???? surely one would have screamed out
Didn't at least one of them screamed help? Hope i remember well..
Liz Stride, I believe.
Because they were strangled. They were dead before he actually started "ripping" them, which also explains why the ripper wouldn't be covered in blood.
All wrong.
They had there backs to him.
Think logical
Dirty cold wet streets, your a working woman.
Your trade is performed with you bent over with your back to yr client.
Jack would not be seen taking out a knife
From behind he holds your mouth and cuts your throat
He can apply a lot more force cutting the throat with him behind
No way a working woman offers herself in any other position unless she has a room
Poor woman wouldn't see it cuming until his hand has smothered her mouth
They were strangled while he was behind them. We’re probably unconscious - possibly dead- when first cuts made
I completely disagree with your conclusions. However the panel did a good job presenting the facts of the case. Well done!
Thanks for the comment and watching.
I firmly think these murders have a gang connection. Probably the monkey parade gang, Martha Tabram reported being attacked by three men, and it’s reported there could have been another man around during Strides murder.
Many of the bobbies on the beat did apparently point the finger at the monkey parade gang. It could have been to get the ladies of the night to pay protection money. Apparently many of the full time street walkers did so and many of these part time girls didn’t know the score and were brutally dealt with to send a message to the other girls. Indeed some of the street walkers actually said they knew who did it but were too afraid to come forward, I don’t think one man would have struck such terror into all these ladies but a gang? Certainly! I do believe the actual ripper was one of this group a sick and violent individual but was part of the gang. Also gang members of the time apparently did cut peoples pockets open in such a way in muggings.
Here is my take after reading and watching vatious things on Jack The Ripper. This documentary was well made, and interesting. But if the witnesses are stating that the suspect was in his thirties, and that Kosminski was roughly ten years younger that is a big jump. Also, I think that Charles Lechmere is worth serious consideration
Thanks for watching.
This is a fascinating case that will never be solved. Who ever he was, he took that secret to his Grave, probably a pauper's grave at that. Who knows he even might be lying next to one of his Victims.
Thanks for watching
I'm actually reading an interesting book about Jack the Ripper and the author has named whom he believes is the killer of these "unfortunates" as they were called back then. I'll continue watching this to see what they come up with. It's a very informative video of the lifes and struggles of that area of Whitechapel.
Thanks for watching any glad you enjoyed :)
There are lots of them. Names coming up all the time, all a load of nonsense.
Jack lived very near to Brick Lane
Hope you enjoyed :)
Interesting documentary, thanks for posting. Always thought that the ripper would have been a functioning individual, much like Sutcliff or Brady, not a raving lunatic who ate out of the gutter. I think that if the very 1st victim could be identified then the ripper would also be identified, the 1st victim would likely be his mother or wife.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed
Great for new viewers but It is too similar to many other documentaries. I've watched many in the past year or so & was expecting more here.
Thanks for watching
From documentaries I have seen and books I have read, I think Charles Lechmere/Cross is a good candidate. Aaron Kosminski is probably second for me. Of course we will never know for sure. It did seem from the police notes that they could have possibly knew who the killer was and that he was locked up for something else so they knew the threat was over. But who knows for sure. The police certainly had a lot less to work with at that time and being policeman or detectives was still a fairly new profession then.
Like you said the police obviously had a lot more information to hand than we do today. As we say in the documentary who ever they think did it probably did it.
Great comment thanks for watching
Problem was, the police were ignorant and bigoted in their views back then and didn't understand either serial killers or those with mental health issues. They were as clueless and off base about the culprit's identity as the police were in Yorkshire nearly a hundred years later.
As a true crime buff I enjoyed watching this. Personally I don't think JTR is any of the known suspects or person's of interest. That said, I may very well be wrong.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed :)
Charles lechmere is the ripper there is no way that one man could have and this is the funny thing he either walked by every victim murder site on his way to work or on his way home or close to his mom's house there is no way in the world he is unluckiest guy in the world to have either pass each murder site on his way to work or coming home from work or visiting his mother's house which is insanely improbably never ever going to happen again in this lifetime
@@midcitycool3946 But he didn't walk by every murder site on his way to work, did he ? Stride and Eddowes were killed during the weekend and were not on his route to work. Whitechapel is very small : anyone wo lived in the heart of it would be close to every murder site and you have no idea if he even visited his mother that weekend. Kelly probably was a holiday too and she lived in the most notorious street of Whitechapel. Her TOD is unclear.
Chapman more or less was on his route to work but according to the witnesses was murdered when he should have been at work for over an hour ? You could add Tabram into the mix, but that would require him to take a completely different route (which we don't know he ever took).
So that leaves us with Nichols and yes he found her. That's it.
@@LucasLucas-ne4xs “and he found her.
That’s it”. This statement demonstrates your ignorance to the nuances of this incident.
Not all the women were on his route to work. But they don’t have to be for the Lechmere theory to work. Nichols was.
Chapman was killed near the spot Lechmere and Paul parted ways 8 days prior. If you know true crime, you should understand to be skeptical of witness testimony. Especially when it’s in conflict with a medical professional.
Jackson’s remains were discovered nearby.
Turner was killed near his route.
Catherine & Liz were killed in an area he grew up in and near his moms on his night off.
True we don’t know if he visited, but it’s possible.
The Pinchin St torso was discovered under a railway arch, yards from the very spot where he lived with his mom, sister and stepdad. Just another coincidence, huh?
Mary was killed on his night off. She had an apartment owned by Andrew McCarthy who also owned the school Charles’ kids attended. So they likely crossed paths.
@@davesmith7432 Yes, I'm ignorant to all the ins and outs Lechmerians come up with to "make" their theory work, but I know the basic facts, thank you for your condecending remark.
I did say Nichols was on his route. He found her.
Chapman was too (sort of), but your firm belief in the expertise of a medical professional that contradicts 3 witnesses has nothing to do with true crime, does it ? He has to be right for Cross to be not at work.
The fact this medical professional uses a method to establish TOD that is problematic does not matter. Without any instuments to take the core temperature of the body and without any knowledge about what causes rigor mortis and the many factors that make it appear very soon or very late (both personal to the victim and the circumstances in which the body was found) it is no more than a guess. An estimation that modern medical knowledge finds highly unreliable.
Turner (or Tabram) was on a route we don't even know he ever took. If she was a JTR victim (very possible)
Jackson or any Torso victim on the other hand are very unlikely to be JTR victims, in fact some of them may very well not even be murder victims.
Let's try to concentrate on the canonical five to point the finger at the Pickfords carman, shall we ? That seems difficult enough as it is.
Oh and the owner of Kellys appartment also owned the school Charles' children attended ? (How many children attended that school ?) That is new to me indeed. Yes, you are right, that link is the nail in his coffin. I guess the landlord must have organised regular parties for his tenants, the children that attended school in the building he owned and their parents. He surely must have met her and known her and decided to kill her..
I mean really ?
To me as a student of this case it totally fits ,,a small boring insignificant individual (Christie, Sutcliffe, West ,Brady etc ) against some kind of Victorian avenging Angel with a top hat and government and freemasonry backing ,,, serial killers are usually small insignificant little men with a Napoleon complex lets not foget the women that this animal butchered and just be sorry it didnt meet Mr Marlowe ,,,,🎩
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed :)
The injuries to Catherine eddowes face happened in two phases.... obviously the slash is through the eyelids and the Vs under the eyes happened post mortem.... but the cut that went through her nose and through her cheek happened during the initial struggle.... if you don't believe me... hold your hand up to your neck like it's the edge of a knife... now pull your face down and to the left trying to get away from it and see where your hand is.... also it's possible that the piece of apron was thrown down by Eddows herself after using it as a makeshift piece of toilet paper....

Thanks for watching
Israel Schwartz did not see Liz Stride Murdered, as he ran away, so who is to say the person he is supposed to have immediately recognised when brought to Police HQ was the murderer?...Also, Aaron Kosminski does not appear to be sighted by witnesses at or near the other 4 murders, so it seems a huge stretch to say Kosminski was JTR and did the Canonical 5 murders...No definitely ascertained facts in this case, just supposition. Cheers Guys fm Damo.😀👍
Thanks for watching and your comment :)
It's "balance of probability". Sure, there's no way we can be "certain" about 99% of the stuff we think we know " (I think that's the reason for the tongue in cheek title of this documentary, rather than being a case for Kosminski.) but the likelihood of her being in 2 violent confrontations in the exact same spot, one immediately after the other where you would expect her to be on guard for the second... certainly be ready to at least give a good scream on a second attack. It's not impossible, but highlly improbable.
@@andrewtomlinson5237 More than likely the person seen forcing Liz Stride onto the ground, took off after two people saw him and I'd say that perpetrator was not Kosminski, as there is no info on him ever having assaulted a women in the street. Probably a half drunk man who Liz said no to was this person....A woman that lived a couple of houses up said she didn't hear anything but people walking past, then quite a break of no noise as she locked her front door and then she heard the sound of a horse and cart going by.....Louis Diemshlitz for sure, but a 2nd person cud easily have tried to pick-up Liz in this period of time and she again said no, as she waiting for someone from inside the Jewish Club. That person she said no to, may have slashed her throat...Cud also have been her live in lover, Michael Kidney, who is mentioned in this video. She was said to be having a tumultuous relationship with him and he cud easily have slashed her throat from the front and she fell to the ground inside the doorway in a domestic violence assault in the street...She had cashews in her hand when found, so a sudden attack occurred.....She was on her side, not on her back and was not mutilated, so not likely a JTR killing, IMHO...Michael Kidney has to be the prime suspect and he went to the Police the next day, but didn't confess to the killing...No scream from Liz coz it was Michael Kidney suddenly slashing her with a short-bladed knife....The other 4 JTR Murders done with long-bladed knives, so the person who killed LIz then goes and kills Eddowes 45 Minutes later with a long-bladed knife....Why didn't the killer use the long-bladed knife on both, if done by the same person, as is proposed by many ripperologists?...Liz a Victim of Domestic Violence, IMHO.

One thing that annoyed me a lot was a small remark made by Steve Blomer, made in his take on the Chapman murder. He says that doctor Phillips, who examined the body, arrived at the conclusion that Chapman had been dead for around two hours, and possibly longer than so. What that remark does, is to nail down that Phillips suggested that Chapman had been dead for around two hours, leaving ppen the possibility that it could perhaps have been even more. But in actual fact, Phillips did not say that Chapman had been dead for two hours and possibly longer. He said she had been dead for AT LEAST two hours, and PROBABLY LONGER! Meaning that two hours was not Phillips ´suggestion at all, it was his absolute minimum, while in fact he suggested that two hours was in all likelihood too short a time - it was probably longer, meaning that the next stop on the road is three hours. We should always take great care nbot to try and move the goalposts in cases like these, otherwise we may come across as somebody with an agenda. The three witnesses in the Chapman case become a lot less credible when we put them into the real context, and that is of great importance.
Then maybe you should take into account that the doctor added a caveate, accepting that the loss of blood, and external temperature may have affected his Guestimate.
And like it or not, that's what hisTOD was.
@@stevenblomer7738 As you should be very well aware, that caveat can be interpreted as attaching to one out of two possibilities. Either Phillips said ”She has been dead at least two hours and probably more. But it may also be that she has been dead an hour only”, or he said ”She has probably been dead for more than two hours, but since the wounds were extensive and the night cold, I am willing to accept two hours as a minimum”. What makes most sense? A doctor who says ”at least two hours” and sticks to his guns, or a doctor who says ”at least two hours and probably more”, but who is then ready and willing to disqualify himself by allowing for HALF the minimum time he just stated as his belief? Regardless of this (non) conundrum, why would you not quote Phillips ad verbatim? Why alter his bid in a fashion that effectively detracts time from the suggestion he made? That is the question here.
Thanks for watching !
Trying to shoehorn the time to fit with Charles Cross are we?
@@thetruth7386 More like trying not to have the fact swept under the carpet that Dr Phillips opted for around at least three hours as the likely time of death. It is not my fault that item after item is in line with Lechmere being the killer, and I don't have to shoehorn anything. History and the written record takes care of the case against the carman without any help from my side. I find it a lot more troublesome that somebody should call a doctors considered verdict "shoehorning" (it was Phillips suggestion, not mine), but I guess you are trying to put the wrong shoes on histories legs when they are accelerating away from yourself. Understandable enough, it is never a good feeling when that happens, is it? Anyway, you are fine with Steven Blomer misrepresenting the case, it seems? How did you arrive at that stance? Mr Truth? Or is it Mrs?
I don't buy Kosminski as JTR. If Schwartz is the witness and he saw Kosminski near/arguing with Stide and subsequently identified him, all that means is he saw him before Stride was murdered and no one knows the exact time that happened. I also have doubts Stride is a JTR victim. Furthermore, other witnesses describe a man who doesn't resemble Kosminski - "carrot man", "blotchy face" etc.
Thanks for watching :)
Quoting the murder statistics is just naive, as today, a list missing persons is probably more indicative of the actual murder rate.

None of the Ripper victims would have been on the missing persons lists, and most people who are reported missing are found. Why do you think that the one more accurately reflects the other?

Cheers for commenting and watching :)
the reason the police back then did not catch the ripper is because they had no clue what a serial killer was or how to catch one. they did talk to him but only because he came to them!! we can thank a lady named sara Lewis for that cause had she not seen him we would never know of him, when he heard he was seen it spooked him just enough for him to give a made-up statement. now i knew if i was going to catch the ripper i needed to look at the facts and use nothing from the police at that time i used todays tools and what i have learned from studying serial murder. I went through all the suspects and there was only one man who fit in every way and that man was George Hutchinson Aka Jack the ripper and i am 100% sure he is the ripper. i can tell he was listening to what was being said because his statement shows this and is full of his EGO most serial killers get caught because of their ego and the ripper was different when he heard them say he must be a Jew he wrote the message on the wall. He knew he had been seen with Kate Eddowes and was dressed as a sailor and had on a red handkerchief and that's why he said the man he saw Mary Kelly with gave her a handkerchief and made sure to say it was red! when they were saying it must be a rich toff down slumming he gave the man he said was with Mary Kelly. as a rich toff with a gold watch and chain with a red stone in it. now police should have at least caught this red flag, when Mary asked George for money, they were on the most dangerous street in all of London! the police only went down it when there was at least three or more. so, no rich guy is going to let that gold watch and chain be seen or he would have been robbed! There was no man with Mary Kelly he stalked her back to her flat and waited 45 minutes in a light rain until it was clear, but Sara Lewis saw him. He was mad at Mary for asking for money, so she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. he had to stay close to home because of all the police looking for him and when Mary asked for money, he made her the next victim. she normally would not have been attacked because Jack targeted older drunk women. the reason this case has not been solved is because of mans greed! the scumbag authors who think they can catch a killer when they have no clue what the hell they are looking for and that is why there are so many suspects and most of them should never have been a suspect. we are looking for the hard evidence for the court we hope to find it soon. we will not put out any books or documentary as we did this for the victims and their families.

Why is it too many, better than repeating the names of the victims in full.
I'd change that title. "Definitely ascertained" may be grammatically correct, but its not a phrase in use in common English and for me, appears somewhat confusing and contradictory.

He used the piece of eddowes apron to wipe his knife on as it had blood and faeces on it. If he'd used it to just wipe his hand that he'd cut where did the human waste come from. It came from her obviously. He could have just wiped his knife on her apron but decided to cut it out taking more time. He wrote the insult to jews as israel Schwartz was Jewish and he noticed this. It's not cast iron but that's how it went imo.

what Schwartz eventually " said " has never been questioned from that day to This - the ripper story continues etc etc etc.
@@jamescorlett5272 Well you certainly know your stuff James I've read a few of your comments before and if i remember right you don't go along with the Lechmere theory for one. I tend to ignore all the hype et cetera and go with what seems the simplest theory. Schwartz from what I've seen couldn't speak English and most likely was a quiet family man who kept himself to himself apart from folk close to him. So the wording LIPSKY by the man suspected of being jack is more likely something he didn't know much about so I doubt he'd be spinning a yarn. There's always questions though and we can only speculate. What one person says another can give reasons why it isn't so. I also don't understand why people believe jack was disturbed by diemschitz. It was 15 minutes after she was seen being assaulted so if he was still there then he'd have to be a different man. And the chances of that are doubtful as I can't see two different men assaulting her then killing her. If say Schwartz was making things up the he would have guessed extremely well as a Liz was there if u get what I mean. Unless he found out about it then wanted to spin a story which I thinks not true. Maybe Richard Jones and others have another reason why they believe that the killer was still there.
@@paulanthony5274 Thanks for your reply Paul I'm knackered and will try to add something to your reply tomorrow- I don't really know " stuff " with me it's things that stand out that are excepted without question in the murders like Schwartz who seemingly comes in very handy to rap matters up After? the murders etc.
Yes, I know what you mean about Schwartz and what he was supposed to have said about possibly kosminski which seems dodgy. Was it you who said Hutchinson was a possible suspect ? From some of the witness testimony the cry of murder by maybe Kelly was around 4 am and someone was heard leaving or walking around at 4:45 . It's possible it was JTR leaving. But other possibilities are there..
👿🔱😈..what is the history of why people think he used a liston knife..to me its the last practical knife one could use..is it just because some thought he might be a surgeon
Thanks for watching :)
A point I made in a recent article in Ripperologist Magazine
@@stevenblomer7738 I don't subscribe to the theory that he was a surgeon.. but I am curious how butcher a butcher or common man would know about human Anatomy.. killing a person and getting their kidney out of them quickly before the cops caught him the person had to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of human anatomy
@@stevenblomer7738 they also mentioned in the video one murder was finished within 8 minutes.. think that it would be almost impossibly hard to slay a person and write on a wall and get away in 8 min.. makes me think the cops were a lot closer to jack then they might have ever known.. perhaps he was a witness some serial killers have a great desire to be close to their crimes and close to those investigating it.. edward kemper actually went to a cop bar to mingle and ask police about the search
I believe that it most matched the "description" of the type of weapon that could have been used but was introduced by Ripperologist Donald Rumbelow... who claims to be in possession of a Liston knife that was somehow connected to the investigation. There is obviously no way to prove it and he doesn't claim that it is fact but he had connections to someone who had it in their possession and gave it to him as they knew he was a serious collector of true crime memorabilia.

Good video. TERRIBLE title.
lol thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it (but not the title)!
Excellent documentary but I have to disagree. The police chiefs were by no means unanimous that the killer was a Polish Jew. Sir Robert Anderson writing his memoirs was never going to admit the most infamous criminal of his day had got away so he blamed a ‘low class Polish Jew’ who had conveniently been committed to an asylum. The Jewish Chronicle described his assertion that a Jew would not give up another to a gentile as an antisemitic slur, refuting it as “erroneous” and “ridiculous”. And there is no evidence that Kosminski ever attacked anyone!
Thanks for watching
@kevster2171, really??? The "jewish chronicle" said uppity "filthy goyim" speculating about or asserting such things about "god's chosen race/tribe/ppl" is "pure evil" ("anti-semitism") ???
Wow!!! Thanks for informing us uppity "goyim" (goyim,aka "unclean beasts of the Earth that solely exist to be slaves of the j's"... as their/your "holiest" books all say & as most j's still believe + practice to this day, as they did in the time of the Egyptian Pharaohs, as they did when Alexander's phalanxes marched eastward, as they always will) that "god's chosen race" who condemn Germans for "master race" did nothin wrong, as usual. What bold brave "anti supremacists" j's are! Openly proclaiming themselves "god's chosen race" as they also proclaim race doesn't even exist, even as they simultaneously proclaim it does ("racism/uniquely evil Nazi's," aka hetero white European & "white privilege," privilege... despite the fact it's j's who are presently the richest most powerful race on the planet) even as they proclaim it also simultaneously does not exist ("we all bwleed wed!" ) as they simultaneously promote race ("you bigots must allow yourselves to be buried by 3rd world invaders without complaint, they're seeking a better life you arrogant bastards"..)
"A better life"???

JTR for me was Charles Lechmere. Probably wrong but we'll never know for certain
Thanks for watching I guess we all have our favoured suspects for one reason or the other
I don't think you are wrong.
A lot of people agree with you.
Zero evidence for Lechmere being the ripper. Literally nothing
@@jimlewis2395 if there was evidence for anybody, Jack the Ripper would have been caught. There are very convincing reasons for why Lechmere could be the ripper. As convincing as most other suspects.
"The best ending for everyone" WTF? Well it wasn't the best ending for the victims who got no justice.
Was Kosminsky the kind of man the victims would trust, a nutter who barely spoke English?
Why would he leave the bloody apron with the graffiti that implicated 'Juwes'? Makes no sense.
Great documentary but I would have liked to see other suspects considered.
The graffiti had nothing to do with the killer. the women would have trusted anyone with money. What ending would have given the victims justice?

@@Ken_Scaletta one where the killer was tried and convicted. I don't see why the apron would have been deposited next to the graffiti if it had no relevance, assuming it was already there.
@@kevster2171 Walls always had graffiti on them. In the dark, I doubt it was even possible to read them, nor would there have been any reason to do so by anyone discarding a garment and trying to make a quick escape.

@@Ken_Scaletta Bear in mind this was on the doorway of a mainly Jewish tennament in a busy market st. I don't think chalked antisemitic graffiti would have lasted long. I take your point though that it was probably a red herring.
