I never understood what Jack the Ripper meant by "that joke about leather apron gave me real fits" until I learned that there was a guy who lived in the area, a bootmaker named John Pizer and nicknamed "Leather Apron" who was reported to have threatened several prostitutes and was being considered as a suspect for the murders. He was arrested, but had alibis for all the murders up till then. So basically in his letter Jack the Ripper was saying "you thought it was *that* guy?! Lol"
There's no proof the killer wrote a single letter. The police at the time believed it was a journalist. Most people who are passionate about the case today believe it was a hoax.
Definitely a sense of enjoyment and slight arrogance in his letters
The amount of madness and sadism in the letters were very disturbing, whoever did this had some issues when it came to sexuality.

Fun fact: During the Jack the Ripper incidents, there was a play about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde going on. Apparently the lead actor, Richard Mansfield, was so convincing that many people believed he was Jack the Ripper.

They didn't have "lol" back then 😂
Also!!! As a woman of a certain age in West Yorkshire- We had the same problem with newspapers & a misogynist police force ‘assuming’ that the majority of women were prostitutes! No!!! They were not! To begin with the bastard just picked on women that were easy to attack & then when he got confident, he took more risks & attacked any lonely, vulnerable woman!
Really taking "If she breathes, she's a thot" to the next level
The women in the Jack the Ripper case were prostitutes though, they had to otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to survive
Peter Sutcliffe?
In those days, if a woman was seen out by herself at night, it was assumed she was a prostitute.
@@Elly3981 which she probably was, men owned their wives back then so the women had no reason to really be out unless she was doing some shady stuff, i doubt women wanted to walk around the streets of Whitechapel at night it would’ve been a very dangerous place. I’m not trying to take a dig at the women either I’m just saying that she probably was a prostitute, there’s nothing wrong with that they had to do what they did to survive.

@@ToxicFireWolf00 right!
It was bad. The photos were of her after she was cleaned up. However the crime scene photos were pretty bad. It's why the inspectors believed she was the target of his rage.
@@ToxicFireWolf00 I've seen what an M16 A3 does to a human skull at point blank range. I rate Eddows crime scene photos as worse. So either you're lying to try to sound smarter or more experience than anyone else. Or you've seen stuff that should have destroyed your mind and somehow didn't. I'm leaning towards the former as you didn't reference anything that might even come close.

The scary thing is, only 5 murders were attributed to Jack. Which means he has more victims that haven't been linked to him, or possibly there was one or several others killing these women in London at the same time.
You don't know London in 1888. Let me just brief it by saying London was a poor, crowded, place with nightly cries of murder each night.
@@anonymousperson3023 I believe that was my point
There was over 5 diff jack the rippers from 1888 to the 1920s
Everyone is talking about how he could be a police officer or a doctor. What about a butcher? It could be an explanation for how skilled he was with a knife.
Did see a documentary on tv saying it was a butcher. He was called Charles Allen Lechmere.
And he could walk around with blood without raising eyebrows
how would a butcher have human anatomical knowledge?
@@theseusinflames4301 they would have rough knowledge, even if they handle animal anatomy.
@@grebby101 but jack had perfect human anatomcial knowledge. he precisely removed a womb, you wouldnt be able to do that if you didn't know human anatomy specifically
I had a friend who genuinely believed he was Jack the Ripper reincarnated ...we’re not friends anymore
ari Good call
I would doubt that but I honestly wouldnt be surprised
healthier to leave that friendship where it was, you doing better without that person.
Makes sense
You should’ve ask for his previous name
I looked at a Wikipedia article detailing all the murders, and Mary Kelly's murder has an official police photograph, and my god its gruesome.
A not so fun fact: With Jack The Ripper, many believe that all women he killed were prostitutes, the real truth is that only one was but people are more bothered about the ripper himself rather than who the women were. This was caused by the Police's Death Certificates, which stated the women were all prostitutes. It's kinda sad that they just blow over their lives honestly but I'm sure that there's existing books on them! Enjoy this info! I love this kind of stuff so it's sort of like a memory check :D
Yes so true. Debunk File has a great video on Jack the Ripper and the Canonical Five and I love the focus on the victims. 👍🤠
I agree. It isn't a fun fact because it's not true. Literally all but one had records of prostitution. And I mean hard, verifiable records of prostitution. To deny Kelly and Stride especially being prostitutes is nonsense. It'd be like arguing 1+1 doesn't equal 2. Both have EXTENSIVE records of prostitution. The only one that's in question I Catherine Eddows but the rest definitely did have a history with prostitution
There's a book called the five which is basically based off this thought, it gives a description on each woman and talks about their lives ect
Dude there’s historical records verifying that most of these women were indeed prostitutes. They don’t just make these claims without bases of evidence.
The five is one I'm gonna start reading it after I finished my current book

@@ktreloki yeah them fuck ass niggas
For the barnett dude, I think the fact that Mary Kelly was killed in her sleep and that he was her ROOMATE/FORMER ROOMATE says a LOT!!!
True, but the thing with Marie Kellys room is that the door can be opened from the outside, by reaching through a window and unlocking the latch. This means any potential men that she had brought back whilst “working” would be able to regain access to her room at any given time. Which does throw doubt onto the theory
@@vtexo also learning about human anatomy by gutting a fish is a stretch in my opinion
I love the theory that Jack the Ripper was actually a woman and a midwife. It would explain the anatomical knowledge that the killer had of the female body, and it would also explain how she could move around freely and undetected. Because of the way society treated women in those days, with the whole "women can't do anything," it could be safe to assume that there were no female suspects because they believed that a woman could not carry out these murders. I think that this is a really interesting idea and hope that one day, they can prove it right. Edit: It would also be easier for her to kill these women. If she walked towards a woman at night, then the victim might not think much of it and it would be easier to get closer to them to kill fast and undetected.
It would hard to explain the witnesses seeing a male, unless you say all the witnesses made up the sightings potentially?
@@mr16325 Did they see a male killing though?
@@s.s7337 yes, all witness sightings were male, and a number of other pieces of evidence points to a male. There is no evidence that points to a female, only speculation

The Ripper walk in 1988 must been amazing
Jack was not a psycho. He was a sociopath. In full control of his senses. He would probably lie in wait somewhere and pounce on isolated victims.
"Psychopats" also have self control, even more, in some cases, than sociopaths, as psychopats are born and sociopaths are made throught trauma
@@magicalcrow6649 yes. Psychos are so obsessed and one-sighted that it almost becomes an unfortunate advantage. But he was absolutely in control; obviously. Masochism at its finest. The women's pain was giving him pleasure: CHRIST HELP US
That's not masochism that's sadism @@evanflowforever6615
There was a jew who recounted seeing the man with a victim, as well as a man, i cannot for the life of me remember his name- who spotted Marie Kelly with a man “she was familiar with” dressed like a man from middle/ upper class walking back to her domicile on the night she was murdered roughly ~4 hours before time of death. It was a man who pretended to enjoy prostitution to lure them out for financial gain before killing them
@@evanflowforever6615 You have no idea how those mental illnesses work 🤦♀️ most physocpaths and sociopaths live "normal" lives and aren't evil/killers/obsessed, and if anything it would be the SOCIOPATHS who are obsessed and one sighted. Psychopaths are generally more intelligent and easier to keep rage hidden.

What is it can you explain??
I dont breath a inhale h2o you fucking bitch.
Am important to fact to mention about Walter Sickert is that his painting titled “Jake the Ripper’s Bedroom,” was that of his own bedroom.
He's a bit too obvious
After this episode I've seen some murmurs that maybe he was a police officer, which is how he was able to evade capture during the search, I personally love this theory as in the letters he keeps referring to the chief of police as "boss". Obviously there's no way to confirm this but I think its a neat idea to think about.
but it's slang.....like fam or blud or dude....ppl read way too much into the letters when they're likely not even from the Ripper. I mean the most iconic Ripper letter is a confirmed fake 😂
@@nothobbesmufc949 Not only the slang part, but the fact that it appeared that the Ripper knew police patrols.
@Gamer_Wolf. Dude imagine if there was a movie like clue that had multiple endings. Screen 1 is Lusk, Screen 2 is Openshaw, Screen 3 is PC Neil, Screen 4 is Lechman. Just imagine!
What in the hell do you have to be into to be labelled "sexually insane"
I was given that label in high school but I shrugged it off

What's interesting for me is how he always managed to get away right before the police came. He was certainly very familiar with the streets, maybe scouted them beforehand to know which dark alley would be a safe passage after the murder. I also think he could have been a "nobody" - a regular person whose name, as with most of us, went down into the darkness of passing time never to be discovered.
The one thing that definitely makes me think it wasn't actually a doctor is the way they commented in the letter about the blood getting too thick to write with. A doctor or a butcher would know that blood would thicken after being out of the body for a while. That is if the letters were actually written by the actual killer
If this happened now he would be named “Chad the Chopper”
Or Choppin Chad
@@leadman7600 that’s sounds better
There are no chads in London

The way that some people in these comments discuss the victims is horrible, particularly about post mortem pictures of these women, stating that these pictures "weren't that bad". Those women were victims and brutally murdered in horrific ways. Stop minimizing what happened to them in an attempt to make yourself sound 'edgier'.
I actually wonder if Jack the Ripper was a guy from Hamilton, Canada, my hometown. I read about this potential suspect a while ago. There was a fellow who was English-born and tended to visit his home in London during the summer. Other times he lived in Hamilton. This chap was wealthier, obviously, since he had two houses, and this was because he was in fact a doctor. In Spring 1888, a prostitute was found in a back alley in a sketchy part of town with her throat slashed in much the same fashion. I’ve actually been to the spot where it supposedly happened, and it’s definitely from the Victorian era. Shortly after, the police investigated, and this guy dipped and went to London, where the rest of the murders occurred. Once the police started getting really involved there, he used his evasion skills to head back to Canada. And in autumn 1888, another murdered prostitute was found in Hamilton, in a similar fashion to Mary Kelly. It’s also worth noting this guy did have a moustache. It’s not the most damning evidence, but I really wonder if that’s who it was. Wish I could remember the guy’s name. Edit: I got some information wrong, but I found the man. His name was Dr. Francis Tumblety. He was American, not English, but practiced in several countries after getting in trouble with the law numerous times, so he was very good at evading the police. He did in fact live in Whitechapel during the time of the Ripper killings. And he also lived and practiced in Hamilton at the time the two prostitutes here were killed. Another interesting tidbit is that he was once married to a prostitute, but the marriage failed. He was a known misogynist, especially towards prostitutes (likely because of his failed marriage), and even kept preserved uteruses on display in his home. I wonder where he got these uteruses…. Some ripperologists say he was too tall to match the description of the man the hookers were with.
this is actually good evidence and quite interesting 💀 you should honestly talk to someone about this
@@katiemarie5491 I actually heard it from a ghost tour in downtown Hamilton and researched it myself later on. He’s already on the list of suspects iirc, he’s just not super high up there because the murders in Hamilton were never proven to be him, and him being in the right places at the right times could purely be some weird coincidence. But still, it makes me wonder… Edit: I posted an edit on the original comment. I did some extra research to find the name of the guy I’m looking for.
Lol his Wikipedia article cites him as a medical quack 😂😂 so not a doctor
yo, not really related but i’m from Hamilton, Scotland. just thought it was cool we both live in a place called hamilton lol
A commenter by the name MrMoggyMan also had said Tumblety is likely to be Jack. They noted that after the last murder, Tumblety fled to France then back to USA. Also, where he lived while at London, they found a blood spattered shirt. He had unsuccessfully obtained a sample of women's uteri during his stay at London if i'm not mistaken. And Anne Chapman lost two rings. After Tumblety died, his possesions were listed. Among these possessions which contained with expensive jewelry, found two cheap identical rings. Another commenter under his comment also said that Arthur Conan Doyle sensed the "Americanism" in Jack's letters, which further (confirms??) that Tumblety could be, if not THE suspect, among the main suspects.

with such hate towards women it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't have any children
@@jiyzonot really everyone evil person has descendants you could even be one of them 😂 besides hitlers his sons said hes gonna kill the bloodline
I always had a weird feeling about the gingerbeer bottle sentence… wouldn’t MOST people know that blood congeals and wouldn’t be functional as an ink substitute? Let alone a doctor, butcher, midwife…
While that is definitely weird, it's not confirmed if the letters were actually from the killer, in which case the writer of the letters not knowing about the blood thickening makes sense.
@@krishashah3661it does make sense, however the intimate knowledge of the murders the MORNING AFTER points to it either being a deranged police officer OR the killer, or both. Theres no way anyone who hadnt seen or committed the crime would have such precise knowledge of the act

Another cool theory was H.H. Holmes (Herman Webster Mudgett), he was an American Serial Killer during the Jack The Ripper time period. Holmes was believed to of been in Great Britain during the Jack The Ripper murders. Also H.H. Holmes had surgical skills that he obtained from Medical School and he also looks very similar if not identical to Jack The Ripper sketches. If you wanna know something even weirder, handwriting samples from Holmes and Jack The Ripper procured a 97% match.
Yeah this is great theory except H.H. Holmes was actually a doctor so i doubt he didn't know that blood would clot and you couldn't write with it. Unless that letter is fake i find it hard to believe they were the same people. I don't think JTP was a doctor but had knowledge of the human anatomy somehow.

Interns at the asylum Kosminski stayed in have stated they believed him to be completely harmless and weren't even sure he could speak English, considering he only seemed to speak Yiddish.
i’ve seen the picture of Mary Kelly’s body. horrifying.
I have one theory: Maybe there were multiple Jacks, which is why there were 8 suspects. And why this case might be so hard to find out, because no one knew in reality that there were multiple Jacks
My thoughts exactly...just like yhe zodiac killer..there is no way is only one
*If the public started calling him 'Jack the wanker' instead, the murders would've probably stopped sooner*
🤣🤣🤣 you have a point, serial killers live to be recognized and feared. I'd say Jack the Ripper was great branding for him and an L for the public.

I saw this yesterday in my English class and when y’all left it unsolved I was really wanting to watch more and see if I could think of who it might be and I love y’all’s videos
The fact that he knew all the police routes suggest he could've been a police officer, maybe a police mortician either that or it was Barnett that knew the last victim
When I went to London I went on a Jack the Ripper walking tour and our tour guide took us to all the spots the bodies were found. He was really into telling all the gruesome details and one woman on the tour literally FAINTED
ive done that tour
Dang, how bad were those details there?
That'd be an interesting tour. I'll have to check that out next time I go to london.
Candy Jam Prolly the ones mentioned in the video, which is gruesome af.
Next time I'm in London I have to take that specific tour!! And if no one faints I sue you lol I (don't worry I'll go with my Bf, he'll be the one fainting)
Isn’t it strange to think that someone today could be related to Jack the Ripper???

Went to London recently and saw all these areas on a Ripper Tour. There were about a dozen competing tours going on at the same time. It's a whole Industry up there
I'm surprised there wasn't a death bed confession. I mean he clearly liked recognition reading the articles. The reason most murders are genuinely solved is people proud of their crimes talk about it. If you read the stats of solved crimes it's not uncommon for murders to get away.
Could’ve died without knowing he died , like he fell to his death as an example so he couldn’t confess it because he wasn’t dying slowly in bed he just died
That moment when you realize that an average 16 year old boy is taller than Jack The Ripper
They were a lot shorter back then

He couldn’t be a doctor. He said he was going to use the blood to write the next letter, but was frustrated that it coagulated and was useless, but a doctor would know the blood would clot.
Right. And the theory of him being a police officer or a police mortician, those would give him anatomical knowledge so he still should've known the blood would coagulate.
I mean he could be a shrewd individual who was purposefully including information in the letter to throw authorities off; aka he was lying. He also said he would clip one of the ears of the victims, but that didn't go down either
@@josiahteng6906 he didn’t get the ear because he ran out of time. It would never occur to a doctor to say “I’m gonna use the blood as ink” because they would know that it wouldn’t work. It’d be some 5d chess move to double bluff like that.
But is the 1800's after all
unless the letter wasn't actually written by him

Fun fact!! There are at least 3 animes with jack the ripper featured in one of the episodes, all of them leaning towards different answers to who the killer might be and what theory may be correct, the anime include JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, black butler, soul eater, Black Clover, and The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service.
Love jojo
In case anyone was wondering they determined time of death by the temperature of the body. It decreases 1.5 c every hour.
oh ok ty
They could’ve also looked at the color of the blood, as it gets darker when it clots. But there are a lot of factors to consider including the surface (blood clots quicker on a rough surface and oily surfaces make the blood clot slower than it would on a smooth or clean surface) Also when someone dies, their blood pressure tanks to zero and they stop bleeding which can help determine if they were stabbed to death and died quickly or if they were laying there bleeding for a while before they died.
Yeah she probably would still have been warm when they found her. It's a shame
Am i the only one that actually went to the comments to see who knew how they actually determined T.O.D. lol

For the people claiming that most of them weren't prostitutes: police records from the time tie Stride and Nichols to prostitution, and Chapman's fellow lodger, Amelia Palmer, stated she was a prostitute in a character testimony. Stride was the only one of the three who was not known to still be prostituting herself- but she still had a past of it, meaning there was an association to it that likely indicates why she was targeted. Between them and Mary Jane Kelly, that means four out of the Canonical Five were prostitutes *at least* at some point in time. Catherine Eddowes is the one of them who did not have any evidence that I could find indicating she was a prostitute. *That said, it's a distinction without a difference; what happened to them is still incredibly evil and it's saddening that they never got justice, nor ever will.*
I think whether or not they were all prostitutes does make a difference, not in the horrific tragedy that was their deaths, but in how we approach trying to figure out the killer’s identity. Only killing prostitutes is a pattern that gives us a clue about the killer’s motives and contributes to the larger psychological profile of Jack the Ripper.

Theory: what if, Jack the Ripper was actually a cop and that’s how he was able to walk around doing things without getting caught because everyone around him just thought he was a normal cop. This would explain a lot of things besides the “Doctor” thing, But it is possible he was studying medicine and quit because he knew he wouldn’t go anywhere therefore he chose to become a cop instead.
What if he was a ghost that’s probably how he got around
What if he ate baked beans
What if she’s a girl and her theory is invalid
Impossible. Although one of the suspects was the nephew of a cop
He choose to become a cop instead
Trick or treating has been around for over 2000 years and started in Scotland and Ireland, Ryan 🎃 In Ireland they used to carve faces into turnips...when they brought the carving tradition to the US, they fell in love with the much larger pumpkins and the carving practice spread very quickly after that.
No it has not
@@iaminpainauchocolat9300ya it has google is literally FREE
For anyone interested they think it was Aaron Kosminski, A barber from Poland ( via forensic stains from Catherine Eddowes' shawl)
Ok but are we going to ignore this condition that involves being “sexually insane”
If I remember correctly the term "sexually insane" referred to homosexuality
@@baileyriley18 I would imagine it would extend to any number of things deemed particular of the time. It could be odd fetishes etc... It could have be sadomasochism or something.
Yeah I believe it's a catch-all term for essentially anything that wasnt run-of-the-mill missionary-style heterosexuality
Often it was thought to just mean homosexuality, although in this case it means he got sexual pleasure from extreme violence
Yeah that was probably the 1880s word for gay
Interestingly, a professor I once had told us that the police always knew it was Aaron Kosminski. He (my professor) claimed to have visited the Crime Museum of Scotland Yard, which is not open to the public and is only accessible by invitation. There he learned that Scotland Yard actually had solved the case: Aaron Kosminski had contracted syphilis from one of the local prostitutes, problem is, he couldn't remember which one. Worse, late stage syphilis can cause insanity, especially if not treated. They stipulate that he basically went on a rampage and killed any prostitute he thought could have been the one that passed him the syphilis. The reason they covered it up is interesting: Kosminski was a Polish Jewish immigrant and the police feared that if this was made to be public, there would be war on the streets with people harassing the Polish/Jewish neighbourhoods. So they covered it up, and the reason they continued to just let it play out as an unsolved case is simple enough: tourism revenue from people who are interested in the "Jack the Ripper" tales.
Wow this sounds real good idea for the actual thing
This is actually a really good theory. The Jack the Ripper killings stopped suddenly and most serial killers don't stopped unless they are stopped. If he was ill and passed away due to it that would explain why he just disappeared.
Hannah Bennett maybe Jack the ripper was rather elderly, 50 years old maybe, and as he got older he slowly stopped the murders, then stopped entirely
It just makes sense for it to be Aaron anyway.
@@simonscare2200 these all murders were not year after year

It’s sad that one of the reasons this case was left unsolved was because sex workers were not well respected and i imagine the police didnt really care about women living in the slums
Weird fact- it turns out most of the victims weren't sex workers, they were just women in a very misogynistic time period. It makes it sad that they still are called sex workers today :(
@@ellso1922 I discovered this recently as well. It’s sad how we forget that these were real women whose lives were taken from them prematurely and unjustly. I believe it was understood that it was somehow their fault that they were killed because they were sex workers.
Check out "Buzfeed unsolved solved a murder" or something around that context on KZhead
you know what's sad? yeah
Well yeah a lot of serial killers killed sex workers and the police didn’t do anything since the victim were sex workers look at the pickton farm Robert pickton mainly killed Native American prostitutes and the Canadian police did nothing since the victims were prostitutes

Good rundown of the case. I always think the “Jill the Ripper” and Prince Albert theories are so silly. They’re popular BECAUSE they’re sensationalist. There’s zero evidence to suggest the killer was a lady, but it appeals to those who like that it’s a subversion. And the royal conspiracy is even wackier! That one reads like a tabloid writer grabbed hold of the biggest contemporary name they could think of to drag into the discussion. In all likelihood Jack the Ripper was an obscure local man. Maybe a suggested suspect, maybe someone else completely.
It maybe was a lady though. Maybe a midwife killed some of them, who knows. We don't know for sure if it was a man or if all of these women were killed by the same person.
@@Ebh55. i think it was someone really strong who can quickly overpower a woman, so probably not a woman

@@Blitz-dm3kv I found out recently that it's not actually just bad or lazy handwriting, but it's difficult to read because it's a form of medical shorthand! I think it's pretty cool that as a collective we all just decided that doctors write badly but in reality they have like a secret writing system
RIGHT
Another theory on the killer is Charles cross, the man who discovered Anne Chapman. He gave a fake name to the police, his name is really Charles lechmere. He worked with meat and therefore would have blood on him while delivering the meat around the city. His route to work also travelled directly thru the area where 3 of the victims were found. As for the other two. His family lived in that area and he would visit them so he has reasons to be around ALL of the victims. On the night of the Anne Chapman murder, the other man at the scene, Paul, gave a time that he discovered Charles with the body. When Charles was questioned, he gave a different time that proved he had at least 5-8 minutes with the body before Paul showed up.
at 10:59 this part can further tie into the theory that jack was a police officer because he could’ve gone there in his police uniform and it wouldn’t rise any suspicion because the area was already swarming with cops (he wouldn’t have any reason to fear a group of cops because he himself was one)
Someone pointed out that these mystery boys might've solved this, Ryan said "or he knew all the police routes" that sparked an idea from some guy on KZhead, he posted a video about it. "Buzfeed unsolved solved a murder" or something around that context. Everybody please bring this to the top let the boys see this!

Another fact to take into account was at 11:51 he states Jack the Ripper sent a letter to the post office before it got in papers and became public and the police were the only people who knew that it occurred which can also be a clue that he was a police officer
