prints the text of the “Dear Boss” letter.

44. “Dear Boss,
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have
laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. That
joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I shant quit
ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no
time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start
again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the
proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went
thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I
do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly
wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out
straight. My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a
chance. Good Luck.”
Yours truly
Jack the Ripper
Dont mind me giving the trade name

November 9th, 1888 - Mary Jane Kelly was
approximately 25 years old at the time of her
death which would place her birth around
1863. She was 5' 7" tall and stout. She had
blonde hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion.
"Said to have been possessed of considerable
personal attractions."

53. 
She was last seen wearing a linsey frock
and a red shawl pulled around her
shoulders. She was bare headed.
Detective Constable Walter Dew claimed
to know Kelly well by sight and says that
she was attractive and paraded around,
usually in the company of two or three
friends. He says she always wore a
spotlessly clean white apron.

54. 
Warning:
If you don’t have guts,
please close your Eyes.

56. 

These are often referred to as the 'canonical
five' Ripper murders, although Martha
Tabram, stabbed to death on 6 August 1888,
is considered by some “ripperologists” to be the
first victim.
She was probably 39 years old at the time of the
death and was killed in George yard buildings.

58. 
Annie Farmer allegedly attacked by Jack the
Ripper.

59. 
Francis Tumblety flees to France, and then to
America under the name 'Frank Townshend.'

60. 
There has been much speculation as to the
identity of the killer. It has been suggested
that he or she was a doctor or butcher, based
on the evidence of weapons and the
mutilations that occurred, which showed a
knowledge of human anatomy. Many theories
have been put forward suggesting individuals
who might be responsible. One theory links
the murders with Queen Victoria's grandson,
Prince Albert Victor, also known as the Duke
of Clarence, although the evidence for this is
insubstantial.

62. 
A quarter of a mile from the scene of
Catherine Eddowes' murder, the words: “The
Juwes [sic] are not the men to be blamed for
nothing” ,were found scrawled on a wall in
chalk, and it was suggested this was written
by the killer. A police officer ordered the
words to be removed, fearing an anti-Semitic
backlash in an area with a large Jewish
population.

63. 
Jack the Ripper was never caught and he is
not thought to have killed again after
November 1888.

64. 

Despite of, there are some other cases
associate to Jack the Ripper.
Violence to prostitutes was not uncommon and
there were many instances of women being
brutalised, but the nature of these murders
strongly suggests a single perpetrator.

The writer Alan Moore
wrote “From Hell”,
book in which he
defend the theory
that Jack is William
Gull, the Royal Family
Doctor. This version
turned into the movie
by the same name

75. 
William Gull was a doctor, so he knew the
human anatomy, like the assassin supposed to
know. And as a Royal family’s doctor he could
use an official coach and could run away
without being stopped.

77. 
As the crimes finished without any pointed
guilty, many people suspected the grandson of
Queen Victoria was the guilty. He had fame to
be vagrant and mentally ill. Some people told
he used to frequent the Whitechapel brothels.

79. 
The writer of “Alice in wonderland” is pointed
as a suspect form some studious of his works.
As clues, they use some anagrams and pieces
of “Alice”. They also went back to Carol’s
adolescence. He used to be a young man of
promiscuous relationships with women.

81. 
He had a barbershop at the neighborhood
where the ripper acted. By the year he lived
in New Jersey, USA, there were murders there
similar to Jack ones. Fifteen years after he
was condemned by poisoned his wives.

83. 
There were some reports saying that his own
family believed that the lawyer and professor
from high society Druitt, was the identity of
Jack. He was considered sexually insane and
he had an office in Whitechapel. He
committed suicide throwing himself on
Thames River, as sooner the last victim was
killed.

85. 
As several surgeons in Whitechapel, Tumblety
was arrested during the months of the deaths.
The crimes stopped when he decided to move
to the USA. After his death, were found some
rings that could be from his victims

87. 
According to American detective writer,
Patricia Cornwel, one of the screens of this
famous English painter describes the last
death. Another evidence is a letter supposed
to be assigned by Jack, it was written on a
paper from the same brand used for the
painter.

89. 
According to Patricia
Cornwell, This is jack
The Ripper, but
there’s no much
concordances about
it.

91. 

According to the American former lawyer John
Morris, Lizzie killed he victims in order to
vengeance her impossibility to have children.
By the way Lizzie or Elizabeth Williams was
wife of one of the most famous suspects
described here :Dr. William Gull, the Royal
Family Doctor.
As one of several evidences Morris state that
she committed some crimes being supported
by her husband.

92. 
John Morris believes
there’s a reason
Mary Kelly was
targeted – and why
the killing spree
ended with her
death. Lizzie’s
husband, Sir John,
who ran abortion
clinics in
Whitechapel, was
having an affair with
her.

93. 

Despite of all the evidences pointed by the
“ripperologists”, they never arrived into an
unquestionable guilty.
Jack the Ripper’s identity is still one of the
greatest mysteries of the 19 and 20th century.

Prince Albert – The nephew of the Queen
Lewis Carol – The writer


Jack is still unknown, maybe he will
be forever unknown. But this is not
reason for stopping looking for a
suspect. Each single researcher has
his own guilty.
What about you? Who do you think
He or She is?
The investigations goes on.......
