What area of London did Jack the Ripper frequent?
Almost without exception the Ripper killed in the areas known as the Whitechapel and Spitalfields district. The one exception to this is the murder of Catherine Eddows. Eddows was killed inside the 'square mile' and her murder fell under the durisdiction of the City of London Police instead of Scotland Yard.
What gun did dick Turpin carry?
He carried a double barrelled flintlock Horse Pistol. It is believed the pistol Turpin had were manufactured by Baker, a gunsmith in Whitechaple, London, who later went on to produce the famous Baker rifle, the standard weapon of the British army. They were usually issued in pairs with a set of connected holsters designed to be draped over the pommel of a saddle. Horse pistols were heavy and were so long they could not comfortably be carried at the hip.
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.
Cheapest property in monopoly?
The cheapest property in Monopoly is Mediterranean Avenue ($60). The cheapest space to land on would be free parking or the "Just Visiting" area of jail... but the cheapest property to land on depends on whether they are owned, and how much they are built up. In other versions of Monopoly (international versions and themed versions) the information will change.
When did Jack the Ripper kill the last person?
This is a very interesting question. The answer is much debated between Ripper experts, but the generally accepted answers is:Mary Jane Kelly (c. 1863 - 9 November 1888), also known as Marie Jeanette Kelly, Fair Emma Ginger and Black Mary, is widely believed to be the fifth and final victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated prostitutues in the Whitechaple area of London from late August to early November 1888. She was about 25 and living in poverty at the time of her death.Reports of the time estimated her height at 5 feet and 7 inches (1.70 metres). Her hair colour is somewhat uncertain although she was nicknamed 'Ginger'. She has been variously reported as being a blond or redhead. Her reported eye colour was blue. Detective Walter Dew, in his autobiography, claimed to have known Kelly well by sight and described her as "quite attractive" and "a pretty, buxom girl". Sir Melville Macnaghten (1853 - 1921) of the Metropolitan Police Service , who never saw her in the flesh, reported that she was known to have "considerable personal attractions" by the standards of the time. She was said to be fluent in the Welsh language.The last likeliest victim of the Whitechapel murderer was Francis Coles in February of 1891. Her body was discovered by PC Ernest Thompson, whom heard the unhurried footsteps of a man walking away from the scene. Francis Coles' throat was cut from left to right, her legs were up, and her skirts had been lifted. It is entirely possible that her killer was the Whitechapel Murderer; whom was disturbed in his work by the arrival of the constable.
Did Jack the Ripper live in the same area as the victims?
It is almost certain that Jack The Ripper did not know his victims. This was a classic case of stranger murder similar to the crimes of serial killers Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgeway (Green River Killer), ect. That is why these kinds of killers are much harder to apprehend. With no connection to the victim standard detection methods don't apply.Jack The Ripper had characteristics of both an organized and disorganized killer.His victims were probably chosen at random, a short amount of time before the actual attack. He may have followed them for a brief time before deciding if she would be the next victim.There has also been conspiracy theories that the women were all friends and knew a secret which is why they were killed. Based on what is now understood about this type of killer, it is rediculous to think that these crimes were revenge, conspiracy, royal coverup, committed by a woman, involved the Freemasons. ect. The typical serial killer is male, white, 20's to 30's at onset of crimes, kills strangers, intelligent, shows no remorse. When looking for the Ripper this is where to start.
Who did Jack The Ripper live with?
about 1858 - 1888+ //Since the killer known as Jack The Ripper was never identified we can only speculate the date of his birth and death. It is safe to say he was most active as a killer in the Victorian era.
Did Jack the Ripper only kill prostitutes?
At least four of Jack the Ripper's victims were known to be prostitutes, but friends of Catherine Eddowes (including a Mr Kelly who might as well have been her husband) never knew her to be one. Jack the Ripper killed women he found out on the streets, alone. Most women out on the Whitechaple streets alone were probably prostitutes, and prostitutes were easy to talk into secluded spaces, which is what made them ideal targets.
Where did the Jack the Ripper murders take place?
The five usually accepted victims were murdered in Whitechaple, in the East End of London, England. It has been suggested that Jack the Ripper also committed murders in the United States and elsewhere.
Is there a criminal profile of Jack the Ripper?
Yes. Using modern criminal profiling can narrow the list of most common suspects and shed new light on the killer. Starting with what most people think was the first victim, Maryann Nichols (aka Polly). This was probably not the Ripper's first victim. This was almost without a doubt a white male, early to later 20's in age. He most likely had an above average IQ, possibly genius. He most certainly had a strong hatred of women and anyone else that did not meet is intellectual level. He had a strong contempt for authority figures (police). Although no proof of rape was present these crimes were sexual in nature. The killer probably did not know the victims, and they may have been chosen at random, the wrong place at the wrong time. The east end prostitutes made an easy target. There seems to be a lot of dispute on the age of the Ripper. Most people think of him as an older man. These crimes were very daring and risky. Someone in their 20's is more likely to take chances like this than someone in their 30's or 40's. We all get more cautious with age. He had physical strength and knew the east end of London very well. He was able to escape undetected because he knew all the nooks and crannies of Whitechapel and Spittelfields. There is also no evidence that the Ripper was educated as a doctor. He may have had a general knowledge of basic anatomy, which could have been learned by anyone who could read. There were anatomy books that were easy to obtain even in the Victorian era. I think some suspects can be ruled out. The queen's doctor for one. Sir William Gull was 70 years old at the time of the murders. He was recovering from a stroke that left his right side weak. It is highly unlikely a partially paralyzed 70 year old was roaming the dark streets of Whitechapel hacking prostitutes to pieces. The next is the Queen's grandson Prince Albert. He was a timid, quite person, sometimes described as meek. And at the time of several of the murders he was not even in the country. Sir William Gull, the coachman Netley, and the Duke of Clarence were named as suspects by author Stephen Knight, whom fabricated evidence in his books or falsified information in order to promote his own theory that the Whitechapel murderer was a Freemason. James Maybrick is next. He was a British business man and an arsenic addict. He was in his 50's at the time of the murders and was suffering physical problems due to his addiction. Aaron Kosminski seems more likely than most of the above suspects but Kosminski, though he had great contempt for women, truly was mentally ill. Aaron Kosminski was not Jack the Ripper. Though Scotland Yard recently named this man as the Whitechaple murderer, the evidence pointing to him as the killer does not substantiate the claim. Kosminksi was in a state mental institution at the time of the Francis Cole slaying. In addition, the medical evidence shows that Kosminski was likely to have been autistic as well as mentally incapacitated. This being the case, he clearly could not have been the Whitechapel murderer based on three factors. 1) As an autistic, Kosminski would have been incapable of interacting on a social level with the victims the way Jack the Ripper was known to have done. 2) Mentally incapacitated, Kosminski would not have had the anatomical knowledge displayed by the Ripper and 3) Kosminski fit none of the descriptions given by the witnesses. Despite Scotland Yard's aggrandizement that they have solved the case, they have named the wrong man. Kosminski is cleared. The Ripper may have been suffering from APD (anti-social personality disorder) but he was not insane. The Ripper's crimes took a steady hand and a clear head. I think we have ruled out a Jill the Ripper. Then there is George Chapman, and he was in fact hung for murdering several of his wives or girlfriends. Chapman poisoned his victims. Chapman remains a person of interest because he lived in the Whitechapel district during the time of the murders, he had anatomical knowledge, and he very closely resembles the description of the man seen with victim Mary Kelly. Many would posit that he could not have been the killer because he poisoned his victims; however, killers often change their methodologies either due to curiosity or to avoid detection. Chapman remains a very definite maybe. And lastly there is Druitt. He committed suicide in the Thames River at about the time of Mary Kelly's murder. Druitt was a suspected homosexual that had been dismissed from his teaching position at a private boys academy, most likely for inappropriate behavior toward his male students. The Ripper might have been a lot of things but he was most likely not a homosexual. These crimes were committed by a heterosexual white male. This may not tell us who the Ripper was but it helps to tell us who he was not.
