there are a movie and a novel that both deal with the Ripper cases being investigated by none other than Sherlock Holmes... the movie was "Murder by Decree", the book was "The Whitechapel Horrors".... both imply a royal/government connection to the murders. The movie out and out says it was a government conspiracy to cover up something connected to the royalty or nobility (can't remember the exact details). The book seems to implicate either Albert or one of the Churchills, but at the end, Holmes says it was neither, and the identity is never revealed, although it seems that Holmes knows and won't say...
 
The Ripper
-Had the traits of a "Power and Control" serial killer, took sexual pleasure with killing victims
-Also had the traits of a "Missionary" serial killer, with his statements in blood.
-Had surgical experiance
-Mentioned eating one of the victim's liver in a letter (but may or may not be the ripper who wrote it)
-Taunting police

Actually, the ripper dispatched his victims quickly. The evidence suggests that the killing of the victims wasn't his main pleasure, mutilations were.

There is no evidence the Ripper had surgical experience. Only one doctor thought so. All other doctors were adamant that the Ripper lacked any surgical skill.

The letter being referenced is the Lusk or From Hell letter. It came with part of a (presumably) human kidney. The writer claimed to have eaten the other part. Of the hundreds of letters claiming to be written by the killer, this is the only one that historians believe might be authentic. Of course, there is no way to verify who wrote the letter at this point.

Also, only a few crackpots believe in any of the "theories" with Prince Eddy.

If the Ripper had been caught then he'd stand trial and: 1) be acquitted, 2) be convicted and hanged, 3) be found insane and placed in a mental institution.
 
Didn't Mayhew's watch surface a few years back, and turn out to have had the victims' initials scratched into its case in what scientific evidence (based on patina?) suggested was about the right period of time?
 
The thing about psychopathic mass-murderers is that there is no real way to tell what kind of people they may be killing, it is possible that one of the 'street women' Jack killed could have been destined for greatness... or even worse evils than Jack himself.

Perhaps Mary Jane Kelly, the last of Jack's victim's, could have been saved moments before her murder by George Husk popping a cap in Jack's ass just as he withdrew his knife. Ms. Kelly, though destitute at the time saw this as a sign to straighten out her life.

In 1889 she stows aboard a steamship heading to Hong Kong, exchanging sexual favours for her passage, finding herself impregnated by the ship's cook, a 6'5" Jamaican freedman, upon giving birth to her son in Hong Kong she abandons him with a Jesuite orphanage and makes her way deep into the mainland.

That spring, after having walked barefoot through southern China and subsisting off stolen pig swill she meets a wise old sage who teaches her his own unique blend of martial arts, that he has learnt throughout his life as a private assassin.

By 1895, her teacher passes away having taught her everything he knows. Before he dies he hands her a letter, it contains instructions to travel to San Francisco where she must deliver an ancient medallion to her teacher's son, who lives in that city's Chinese quarter. She heads off to America later that year. During her transit she meets and falls in love with a Japanese woman, who becomes her consort for the next ten years.

However, to their shock, the disreputable shippers drop them and the rest of the emigrés in Chile, instead of California. Over the next decade, Mary Jane and her Japanese girlfriend travel northwards, delayed along the way by their constant need to right post-colonial injustices using martial arts.

In 1904 they arrive in Panama in time to witness the arrival of the Americans, they stay there for several months. While here they become heavily politicised and instigated a Trade Unionist revolt. When hired goons arrived to supress the revolt Mary Jane and her Japanese consort fought them off, leading, through Chinese whispers, to rumours that the canal project had disturbed a civilisation of warrior women.

In 1905, Mary Jame was shot in her left arm while breaking up a bar fight, leaving that arm paralysed for the remainder of her life, taking this as yet another sign, she knew that it was now time for her to continue her quest to reach San Francisco, she travels there on a scooner owned by the Panama Canal Company.

Once she arrives in San Francisco she fails to find her old master's son. She abandons the artefact that she has carried for over a decade and attempts to enter San Franciscan high society. She never marries but is accepted as lady of high standing, a number of San Franciscans contended that she was the rightful heir of Norton I, and often addressed her as Empress Mary Jane I, this never seemed to be something she encouraged, but it became popular nonetheless.

It is rumoured that Mary Jane Kelly was the founder of 'Wrdrem ag Blodeuym', a secret womens'-only member's club that is rumoured to engage in Bacchic rituals and claimed to exist to this day as an insidious force behind the scenes of world politics.

In 1916, she visited Panama to witness the Canal's grand opening. There she met up with her old flame, who was now married to a labourer and activist from Des Moines, and had birthed five children (all her godchildren). Mary Jane never returned from Panama, she died of Cholera the day after reuniting with her Japanese sweetheart.

Her son, Benedict Kelly went on to join the Chinese Communist Party, and was leader of the short-lived Hong Kong Commune.

Among the descendents of her godchildren was Anil Sandreas, the fourth Governor of Yamasungguo Province, Mars, and Jessixa Ngwane, the world's first cyborg porn star.

Much better than the swill pushed out by modern film makers and writers theses days....totally needs to be made into a movie...or better...a series!
 
Even stranger is the theory that there was no Ripper at all. They were a series of gruesome but unconnected murders and someone took it upon themselves to create a sensation by sending a fake letter. The police received hundreds of letters claiming to have information about the crimes, someone was bound to get some details right just by pure chance. The more sensational the crimes became the more people started sending fake letters and information. Even the kidney that was sent to police had no definite link to the victims and could have been a horrible joke.

If the Ripper had ever been caught there would have been a trial of the century, then a hanging. People would then spend the next hundred years speculating that the wrong man had been caught and the real killer got away.
 
even stranger is that this thread is being resurrected from the grave it has resided in since 2006. Just wanted to mention that before Calbear closes it... :)

Not completely strange--prostitutes were being killed in unpleasant ways BEFORE the Ripper started up, if "he" ever did, and they were being killed after "he" stopped. It's just that in a relatively short period of time you had a group of similar killings, which doesn't mean as much as people tend to think.
