By some accounts Chapman, aka Severin A. Klosowski, was working as a hairdresser's assistant a mere few yards from George Yard Buildings in Whitechapel. After the death of his infant son he and his wife relocated to America. He would return to England in the 1890's. There is one important point that should made. Chapman was a killer, but not of the same ilk as Jack The Ripper. He murdered by poison. A far cry from the brutaility of JTR, two distinctly different types of killer.
Annie Chapman
On Friday, 7th September 1888, Annie Chapman became the second victim of Jack the Ripper. The estimated time was 4.30 am or before.
The inclusion of New York prostitute Carrie Brown as a Ripper victim is somewhat recent. Although the murders had similarities the only connection seems to be to suspect George Chapman, who at the time of the Brown murder was alleged to live in New Jersey. Unfortunately, there is no proof that Chapman was in the United States, and there is some proof that he was not. Chapman, skilled with a pair of scissors, was employed as a hairdresser/ladies man. It was no secret Chapman had a roving eye and a seriously nasty temper. But when Chapman decided to make murder his advocation, it was poison he chose as a weapon. Since Brown was included on the Ripper suspect list because of a possible link to Chapman, it is a tenuous thread that binds these two.
No. Kasminsky was not the Ripper, in fact he was never even a serious suspect.

Scotland Yard detectives. It was easy once they received several letters signed Jack The Ripper. That made him the number one suspect.
September 1841, the exact day is unknown.
There were 24 suspects. The first suspect was Montague John Druitt.
Like many other Ripper suspects, Thompson was associated with Jack The Ripper only by the flimiest of circumstances. Thompson had trained as a medical doctor and he lived just south of Whitechapel. Other than that I could find no other reason for him to be a suspect.
Dr. Thomas Neill Cream didn't suspect anyone as Jack the Ripper, he was too busy killing people himself. Whereas the Ripper used a knife, Dr. Cream used poison, one of the most cowardly ways to commit murder.
Thomas Cutbush was named as the Ripper by the Sun newspaper on the 13th February 1894. The possibility of Thomas Cutbush being Jack the Ripper was thoroughly investigated by the police at the time, and shown to be without foundation.
