Has the FBI profilers studied all the Ripper murders not just the 5 canonical murders?
If they have I can find no written proof of it. Most likely responsibility for this is the fact that the misconception of only five victims throws any investigation slightly off-track. For the most accurate profile of the criminal all information needs to be considered. This case is no different. I have also seen many books written based on erroreous data, such as the victims were strangled, the killer had to be a doctor, and/or the killer disappeared after Mary Kelly's death. It would be interesting for the FBI to attempt a profile with all possible victims included.
What else can I help you with?

When did the Jack the Ripper murders stop?
The last of the canonical five murders was Mary Kelly on November 9th, 1888. But some people believe that later murders in Whitechaple were also the work of Jack the Ripper. And others believe that Jack the Ripper left the country and committed murders in the US. We don't know for sure. Soon after Kelly's death, the body of Montagu Druitt was found in the Thames, and a note went round Scotland Yard saying that there would be no more murders now. Assuming Kelly was the last Ripper victim, this would point to Druitt as the serial murderer. As for some other murders in the area in the following year or two, many authors have tried to link these to the Ripper, but most experts are not convinced.

How many women were killed in Whitechapel by Jack the Ripper?
The files kept by the Metropolitan Police show that the investigation opened in 1888 encompassed eleven murders from 3rd April 1888 to 13th February 1891 and were known as the Whitechapel Murders. Amongst this eleven murders investigated by the police, five are almost universally agreed upon as having been the work of the Ripper. However there were other murders and there is no absolute proof that the Ripper killed only the 5 or even this 5. Numerous authors proffer numerous possibilities of identity for the Ripper and the actual number of murders. So the whole Ripper scenario is just shrouded in mystery - everyone can have their pet theory that cannot be proven or disproven. In fact apart from the fact that there were murders, nothing is known for sure - perhaps 'Jack the Ripper' was a woman?
