Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Jack the Ripper murders, which took place in London in 1888, were the first serial killings to shock the public. They were also the first crimes to be concentrated in a small geographic area and directed at a specific type of preferred victim.
#2 The Jack the Ripper case, which was the first time I had ever worked on a criminal case, was a two-hour television program set to be broadcast live from Los Angeles in October 1988. I was invited to participate in the program, and I constructed a profile of the killer.
#3 The FBI profiler’s job is to construct a profile of the offender, which is a set of assumptions about the person’s behavior, based on the facts of the case. The more details about the case that are provided to the profiler, the better he or she can construct a profile.
#4 The East End of London was a strange, distant, and fearful place for those who lived elsewhere within the metropolis. It was dominated by poor cockneys, and it was increasingly populated by immigrants straight off the docks.

#1

The Jack the Ripper murders, which took place in London in 1888, were the first serial killings to shock the public. They were also the first crimes to be concentrated in a small geographic area and directed at a specific type of preferred victim.

#2

The Jack the Ripper case, which was the first time I had ever worked on a criminal case, was a two-hour television program set to be broadcast live from Los Angeles in October 1988. I was invited to participate in the program, and I constructed a profile of the killer.

#3

The FBI profiler’s job is to construct a profile of the offender, which is a set of assumptions about the person’s behavior, based on the facts of the case. The more details about the case that are provided to the profiler, the better he or she can construct a profile.

#4

The East End of London was a strange, distant, and fearful place for those who lived elsewhere within the metropolis. It was dominated by poor cockneys, and it was increasingly populated by immigrants straight off the docks.

#5

On August 31, 1888, Polly Nichols, a mother of five children, was drunk and wandering the streets of London. She was found dead by two carmen, Charles A. Cross and Robert Paul, who told a police officer, Jonas Mizen.

#6

The murder of Mary Jane Kelly was not a simple robbery. The killer had cut her open, exposing her intestines. The circumstances and the fact that she was out on the street at that hour strongly suggested the vocation.

#7

The severity of the bruising around the face indicates an initial blitz-style attack. The neck bruising indicates an attempt to choke the victim and render her incapable of resistance. The multiple deep stab wounds suggest a frenzy of anger and released sexual tension.

#8

The M’Naghten Rule is the basis of the tests of insanity used today. It states that someone can be mentally ill but still criminally responsible, as they do what they do because they want to rather than because they have to.

#9

The murders of Martha Tabram and Polly Nichols were extremely brutal, and it seemed as though there was no motive behind them. However, the police believed that they were the work of a sex maniac.

#10

The police surgeon, Dr. George Bagster Phillips, examined the brutally butchered but ritualistically arranged corpse. He described what he had seen: The left arm was placed across the left breast. The legs were drawn up, the feet resting on the ground, and the knees turned outwards.

#11

The murder of the woman at the slaughterhouse was done with precision and care. The police found two farthing coins near the body, which indicated a particular psychosis and mental instability. The killer had cut off the victim’s nipples after death and placed them on her chest, as well as cut her earrings and placed them on the ground next to her head.

#12

The victim was identified as Annie Chapman by a washerwoman friend named Amelia Palmer. She was a stout five feet two with brown hair and blue eyes. She had been married to John Chapman, who’d made his living as a coachman for wealthy families in Mayfair. They had three children, one of whom was a girl who died in infancy.

#13

The police believed that the man who had murdered Annie Chapman had also murdered Mary Ann Nichols. They thought that the same man had also killed Martha Tabram.

#14

The East End was rife with rumors. One of the doctors who had examined the bodies thought the killer showed some medical or anatomical knowledge. Some thought that the killer was a depraved physician, while others thought he was a local bully and hustler named Leather Apron.

#15

The police and the press made a concerted effort to find the actual Leather Apron, without any success, while hysteria about the identity of the Whitechapel fiend continued to grow. The Jews, emigrating to England to escape persecution in Russia and Eastern Europe, had become a prominent force in the East End.

#16

The Lust Murderer is a unique type of murderer that involves a mutilating attack or displacement of the breasts, rectum, or genitals. The organized type tends to be someone who may interact well with society, but he has no regard for or interest in the welfare of anyone other than himself.

#17

The Lust Murderer is a personality who murders women because of their clothing, which serves as a substitute for his inability to deal with women in a mature and confident manner. He is aggressive during his adolescent years, as if he is trying to get back at society for perceived wrongs or slights.

#18

The police sent hundreds of extra officers into the East End each evening, trying to catch the killer in the act. They used manpower to prevent him from having the opportunity to kill or, if that failed, to stop him as he fled.

#19

The Metropolitan Police faced the same problems as American law enforcement agencies today: overlapping jurisdictions. The City of London, which encompasses the traditional business and historic districts, has its own police force.

#20

The Goulston Street graffito was written by someone who wanted to cast blame on Jewish socialists. It was erased just before sunrise, about 5:30 A. M. Three weeks later, amid a firestorm of criticism, Commissioner Sir Charles Warren resigned.

#21

The police believed that Juwes was simply an illiterate spelling of Jews, whom the East End already hated. But some believed that it referred to three Masons who had worked on King Solomon’s temple and murdered its architect, Hiram Abiff.

#22

I believe that the Goulston Street graffito was an incidental finding, not related to the murder. It was probably written by a bigoted and irate East Ender who felt he had been cheated by a Jewish merchant.

#23

The identity of the Berner Street victim was finally known on October 1. It was Elizabeth Stride, a 44-year-old émigré from Sweden who had been married twice. She had a criminal record and was known in the neighborhood as Long Liz.

#24

The identification of the Mitre Square victim was much easier than that of Elizabeth Stride. She was wearing and carrying all of her worldly possessions, and among them was a mustard tin containing two pawn tickets. One of them was in the name of Anne Kelly, close to the name Mary Anne Kelly given by a woman who had been picked up drunk on the pavement at eight-thirty Saturday night and taken to Bishopsgate police station to sleep it off.

#25

The first thing we have to consider is whether the two murders were related. The crimes were committed within a twelve-minute walk of each other, within about a twenty-to-thirty-minute period. The victimology was similar in both cases.

#26

The divergence of signatures between the Stride and the previous three victims is due to the fact that the UNSUB had to change knives after he killed Liz Stride, because he had used a short-bladed knife on her. This is a problem, because the killer may have used a long-bladed knife on the other victims.

#27

The murders of Annie Chapman and Liz Stride sent the East End into a panic, and the letters they sent to the Central News Agency and the Daily News and Star were published.

#28

The Dear Boss letter and the Saucy Jacky postcard were written by the phantom monster, and they became known forevermore as the Ripper letters. They were sent to the police, but many Ripperologists believe they are fakes.

#29

The Ripper was a loner who hated women, and he would not communicate with the police in this manner. He would be an almost invisible loner in his late twenties or early thirties with a pathological hatred of women, and he would probably be a truck driver.

#30

The Dear Boss letter was written by a literate, articulate person, not an offender of the police. It was made public very soon after the Double Event, and helped keep the case in the forefront.

#31

The Dear Boss letter and postcard was sent to the police, and it ensured that this series of crimes would be immortalized. Without the Jack the Ripper identity, I doubt whether this offender would have so captured history and the public imagination.

#32

The murder of Mary Kelly captured the attention of the public, and the police were unable to stop the frenzy. In addition to the police patrols, locals formed their own protective organizations.

#33

The Lusk letter is a possible clue that the kidney may have come from Catherine Eddowes’s body. The writer of the letter does not use the glamorous title, but instead says it is coming from hell.

#34

The Lusk letter is consistent with the type of UNSUB I suspect Jack the Ripper to have been. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that a disorganized offender who has a perverse sense of curiosity about the inside of the human body might try to satisfy that curiosity by eating some of it.

#35

The police tried to catch the killer by printing the Dear Boss letter and posting it around the East End. They also tried to catch the killer by having wardens from lunatic asylums patrolling with the police, but they didn’t have any luck.

#36

On the morning of Friday, November 9, Thomas Bowyer, an Indian army retiree, was dispatched by his boss, local merchant John McCarthy, to collect rent at a house he owned at 13 Miller’s Court. He knocked on the door of Mary Jane Kelly, also known as Ginger, Fair Emma, and Black Mary to her friends and clients.

#37

The killer, who had burned clothing in the fireplace, had also used the flames for illumination while mutilating the body. Mary Jane Kelly had been living with a fish porter named Joseph Barnett before she was murdered.
