2. Crime and Scene (Canonical Five)
Who: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth
Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly
What: Gruesomely murdered and mutilated
When: August-November 1888
Where: White Chapel District, London
3. Psychological Profile
The psychological profile has never
been confirmed, but because of the
consistency of the murders, it is inferred
that this killer organized his crimes.
Little is known about this killer.
4. Backround on Jack The Ripper
Motive: No clear motive, but all of his
killings were usually female prostitutes
and Irish immigrants that loitered around
the White Chapel District
His victims were usually female
prostitutes from the slums
No connection to victims
Jack The Ripper's history of violence
mainly ranged from 1888-1891, but this
has not yet been proven
5. Forensic Evidence
Similar mutilation marks among bodies were identified
(removed uterus, removed intestines, cut throat, and
split torso)
Letters from Jack The Ripper were also gathered, but
some were claimed to be hoaxed
6. Legal Aspects
CASE NEVER RESOLVED.
Over 2,000 suspects were interviewed, 300
investigated, and 80 detained
It has been inferred that the perpetrator was an upper
class citizen at the time, maybe a doctor because of
the precision of his mutilations and removal of organs
within his victims
7. Interesting Facts
All of the letters that were received at the scene of the crimes
were labeled, “ From Hell “
Jack The Ripper's killings initiated a media frenzy, and helped
make it what it is today
His other names were, “The Leather Apron” and “ White Chapel
Murderer”
Movie was made starring Johnny Depp, “ From Hell”
8. Reflections
I picked this person mainly because all of his crimes
have never been solved, and the number of victims
killed is over 25. 25 unsolved grotesque murders
Pictures of five of his victims exist (1880's), and some,
too gory too show
He is the epitome of a serial killer, NEVER CAUGHT
