THINGS ABOUT JACK THE RIPPER

MANY HISTORIANS AND MOST PROFESSIONALS

IN THE MEDICAL FIELD OF HIS TIME WHO

INSPECTED THE CORPSES AGREED THAT HE MUST

HAVE HAD STRONG KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT HE

WAS DOING AND HOW HE HAD TO DO IT.

EVEN THOUGH WE CAN’T BE SURE, MOST HISTORIANS

BELIEVE JACK THE RIPPER WAS PROBABLY BETWEEN

TWENTY-FIVE TO THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OLD WHEN HE

COMMITTED THE MURDERS.

IT HAS BEEN SUSPECTED THAT JACK THE RIPPER WAS

SINGLE AND SUFFERED FROM INSOMNIA.

HE WAS A RESIDENT OF WHITECHAPEL, WHERE MOST

OF THE MURDERS TOOK PLACE, AND HE LOOKED

“PAINFULLY” NORMAL AS OPPOSED TO THE IMAGE OF

MANIACS IN WHICH THEY LOOK LIKE RAVING LUNATICS.

IT IS ALSO BELIEVED HE WAS OF MEDIUM HEIGHT,

STOCKY BUILD, AND HAD A MOUSTACHE.

WHEN HE COMMITTED THE MURDERS HE LEFT NO

EVIDENCE. THERE WERE NO EYEWITNESSES TO

HIS CRIMES, ONLY THE DEAD BODIES.

SEPTEMBER 30TH SAW ONE OF THE RIPPER’S MOST

AUDACIOUS ACTS, KNOWN AS THE "DOUBLE EVENT."

OCCURRING THREE WEEKS AFTER THE MURDER OF

ANNIE CHAPMAN, THE SOGGY, MISERABLE NIGHT

SAW THE MURDER OF TWO WOMEN WITHIN LESS

THAN AN HOUR: ELIZABETH STRIDE AND

CATHERINE EDDOWES.
