What is Jack the Ripper's real identity? Who was the only murderer in the first place? Is it Walter Richard Sickert?

Jack. That? The Ripper, the Jack the Ripper incident.

The "Jack the Ripper Incident" refers to 1888 five murders of prostitutes near Whitechapel in East London (mainly settlements and slums of foreign immigrants). Most of the bodies were cut off with some organs (four, to be exact, except for Elizabeth Stade, the victim of the third case, all the others were cut open with sharp knives). Cruel, sharp, and the killer is unknown. It can be said that it has not been solved for a hundred years.

In the incident, the police and relevant units received unidentified letters claiming to be murderers (one letter even attached some human organs, kidneys, but I don't know if it was the victim's), but most of these letters have different styles, and many or even all of them are fake. But one of the murderers called himself "Jack", which was widely known later, and was later called "Ripper" by panicked citizens and news media.

It is said that at that time, the police locked up nearly 200 suspects (including lewis carroll, a famous British writer, Walter Sick, a world-famous painter and other celebrities), and also invested all police forces in London to hunt down the murderer, especially the police in their lair, Scotland Yard, and the major media kept tracking and reporting the incident day and night. However, in such a tight encirclement layout, not only did not catch the murderer, but even failed to stop him from continuing to commit crimes, which is enough to show the legendary nature of the "Jack the Ripper" case.

According to the mainstream, Jack is a middle-aged gentleman of medium height, with a black beard, well-dressed and dressed in black. Because in one case, someone witnessed the victim receiving a man shortly before his death, so this person is probably the murderer, and this man looks exactly the same. Later, it became the classic image of Jack in film and television works.

On the other hand, it is said that the target of the murderer is actually the victim of the fourth case, Catherine Aidos, and the murderer is her husband John Kelly, whose motive is that she married Thomas Conway at the same time (it is also said that the murderer should actually be Thomas Conway, or both of them are murderers), and other deceased people are trying to cover up their motives (for example, a classic novel by agatha christie, some people say it was inspired by this). It is said that some policemen even Sir Conan Doyle, the author of adventures of sherlock holmes, agrees with this statement.

It is said that Jack is Jewish, because in the fourth case, an agent found a dress stained with blood near gaston Street, which was identified as part of an apron worn by Kathleen Erdos. On the high wall near where the clothes fell, a line written in chalk by the suspected murderer was found: "Jews are not a nation willing to be resented!" " "("that? Jews? Is it? Isn't it? That? Men? Where to? Is it? Accused? For what? Nothing), but another policeman remembered that it was "yes"? Jews? Is it? That? Men? That? Will. Isn't it? Is it? Accused? For what? Nothing. After inspecting the scene and reading the news, Thomas Arnold, the police chief, was worried that the graffiti on the wall would be seen by passers-by after dawn, but it aroused anti-Semitism and ordered it to be erased on the spot.

Others say that "Jack the Ripper" may not exist at all. These five people were killed by different murderers, and the "Jack the Ripper Incident" was pieced together by several unrelated cases. This is a credible statement. Thomas Arnold, the ace detective of Whitechapel in London, said in his retirement speech: "I don't think all these cases were done by Jack the Ripper alone." After examining the bodies of five murdered prostitutes, Percy Clark, the assistant forensic doctor at that time, once said, "I think one person may have killed three of them, but it is unlikely to kill others." ?

There are two more common sayings. One is that the murderer is a murderer from the United States, who has committed many crimes in the United States before (there is no evidence for this statement, but it is also an indisputable fact that both happened at the same time, which was implied by Mu Yima in the book Strange Facts in the World), while Jack was also responsible for the six attacks that took place in London at that time, and the other claimed that the murderer was Sir john williams, a good friend of Queen Victoria. And served as the obstetrician who gave birth to Princess Beatrice. He published Uncle Jack (Uncle? Jack), accused of the crime of ripper. The author claims that the information in his hand shows that the doctor knew all the victims and killed and dismembered them in order to study infertility. Similar to these two statements, we generally call them "devil theory" and "royal conspiracy theory" respectively.

(In addition, there are not only many royal conspiracy theories, but also statements such as "Prince Eddie is the murderer", most of which are absurd and unconvincing. For example, Prince Eddie is a murderer tells that because of the influence of tertiary syphilis, Prince Eddie wandered the streets in Whitechapel area and killed the right prostitute when he saw it. This behavior continued until his caregivers found him and locked him up until he finally died of syphilis, but first, royal data showed that Eddie died of influenza complications in 1892. Secondly, Eddie was awarded the title of Duke of Clarence in 189 1. This title cannot be awarded to a person who is crazy because of tertiary syphilis. And Eddie's not clever brain makes it impossible for him to have the medical knowledge and psychological endurance that Jack needs in this case. Besides, because of Eddie's well-known sexual orientation, no one thought that Eddie might be Jack the Ripper. Eddie also had a strong alibi when the murder happened. ?

At the same time, along with the royal conspiracy theory, there is also a saying that Eddie's mentor and gay partner James in Cambridge? Kenis. After Eddie ended his relationship with him, Stephen killed these women for revenge. Steven is indeed Eddie's mentor in Cambridge, but there is no evidence to support their homosexual relationship. After Eddie left Cambridge, Steven suffered serious brain damage in an accident and had to spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital. Although Steven's mood is very unstable after the accident, and there are obvious violent tendencies in his poems, this is obviously not enough to support his suspicion. )

Another way of saying it is that Jack is a woman. He may be a nurse or a woman stimulated by infertility. This statement can solve why the murderer can avoid being chased by the police. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Stewart put forward this view. At the same time, after studying the "Ripper's Letter" with modern science and technology, a female DNA sample was found in the letter, which proved this view.

Just based on the police's speculation about Jack, it can be inferred that Jack's characteristics are:?

First, he may have a considerable knowledge of anatomy.

B, considering the environment at that time (outdoor, basically no lighting, but also have to be alert to the surrounding situation at any time, time is extremely tight), Jack may be a skilled knife user. ?

C, all the victims were stabbed from right to left by a knife, which means that Jack is probably left-handed or skilled in using knives with both hands. This speculation indirectly indicates that Jack is probably an experienced doctor or anatomist. ?

D, it's possible that Jack didn't do it alone. This inference is widely accepted by "royal conspiracy theorists", but there is no evidence that Jack has an accomplice. ?

E, Jack must be a man with some physical strength. ?

But if "Jack the Ripper" must have a certain physical strength to commit such a crime, will the statement that "Jack is a woman" be somewhat untenable?

Believe whatever you like. If you are interested, you can even find more information and put forward your own views.

After all, this is the charm of cold cases.

The psychological speculation about "Jack the Ripper" in the theatrical version of Detective Conan is also good (Jack the Ripper was abandoned by one of the victims, but the content is pure fiction). Interested friends can look for it.

The concrete process of "Jack the Ripper Incident" is described in detail in Mu Yima's Strange Truth of the World. For those who have the ability and need, I personally suggest buying a whole set of books (three books).

Strange truth in the world, Yutaro Hasegawa (1900- 1935).

Born in Sato Prefecture, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, he went to study in the United States. After returning to China, he wrote an American experience book in the name of Gu Rangji, a martial arts novel in the name of Lin Bubu, and a criminal record novel in the name of herding horses. 1June 29th, 935, he died suddenly due to asthma attack, at the age of 35. Umitaro, an experienced person, reads a lot and knows it by heart. Because of this, his works are very popular with urban women, and Luoyang paper is often expensive, which became an anomaly in the literary world at that time. His one-armed swordsman Xia Dan Zuoshan is an eternal classic in Japanese film and television history. He painstakingly wrote "Mysteries on Earth", which is recognized as the source of inspiration and material by Japanese reasoning writers in past dynasties. Among the writers who worshipped him in later generations, Soji Shimada is probably the most famous-he once wrote a book "Strange Truth in the Horse-herding World" and claimed: "I am not qualified to evaluate this masterpiece."
