What were the names of the ladies Jack The Ripper killed?

Answer 1

The 19th century serial killer known as Jack The Ripper killed at least 6 women, all working as prostitutes in London's east end district known as Whitechapel. Since this famous killer was never caught there are differing opinions as to how many victims he really had. I will list the victims that most likely are the Ripper's victims. Martha Tabram was found murdered on August 7, 1888. Mary Ann 'Polly' Nichols, found murdered in the early morning hours of August 31, 1888. On September 8, 1888 Annie Chapman was found with her throat cut and disembowelled, at least one organ taken. Next was what is known as the 'double event'. Elizabeth Stride was murdered on September 30, 1888, less than an hour later and less than 1 mile from Stride's body, Catherine Eddows was found, throat slit and severely mutilated. On November 9, 1888, Mary Jane Kelly was found murdered and mutilated beyond recognition. The only known photo of Kelly was taken by police at her rented room in 13 Miller's Court, Whitechapel. Every organ had been removed from her body cavity with the exception of her brain. Her heart must have been taken by the Ripper because it was never found.

For reasons that are unclear, interest in the Ripper and his crimes seemed to fade after the murder of Mary Kelly. That does not mean that the killer was finished. There were a number of murders consistant with the Ripper's other crimes but were barely reported in the papers of the day. Other victims that are not generally known to the public are Alice McKenzie, an unidentified mutilated body known as the Pinchin Street Corpse found on September 10, 1889, dismembered body parts found on December 13, 1889, the body of Frances Coles, a prostitute working in the Whitechapel district, on February 13, 1891. More dismembered female body parts found in June 1902, and the body of prostitute Emily Dimmock, Camden Town, in 1907.

As is true for most serial killers, Jack The Ripper did not stop killing. It was reported erroneously that Mary Kelly was his last victim. Far from it. These kinds of killers will continue to kill unless they are caught, they are incarcerated, they become sick and infirm and/or die, or they just get too old and the urge to kill decreases over years as they slip into old age. This is the most likely scenario for the killer known Saucy Jack, aka, Jack The Ripper.
