Jack The Ripper: Letters From Hell is a pretty good read. It has every letter claiming to be from The Ripper, all 700, and discusses suspects and people that were arrested for sending hoax letters.

I'll have to check that one out. Amazing though isn't it? 700 letters in such a short space of time.

A interesting thing about the Dear Boss letter it's not written to a newspaper like you might expect it was written to The Central News organization..like a press service like UPI. And who would be likely to do that maybe an enterprising journalist perhaps.

That is an interesting detail. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of fake letters that were about just to sell papers.

the postcard says he did not have time to cut off a ear for the police but he did have time to cut up her face this postcard is bs

It would appear that way. It's an interesting detail that you point out.

It's not bs nor a valid point. He could've cut up her face & probably hadn't time to cut off the ear but was maybe in a hurry before the police constable made his rounds. He did say he could hear the constables footsteps approaching & coroner report mentioned an attempt to cut off the ears, or part of it.

there are only two letters that came from the killer the rest are fakes the first letter sent in came on sept 17th and it was the first time he gave the name jack the ripper the second letter is the from hell letter so now that you know this i hope you don't make the mistakes the other creators do and that is to claim that the dear boss letter was the first time he gave his name BUT this was written by a newspaper man.

Thanks for the info. Most people beleive they were all fakes, but I'm open to the idea that there might some real letters.

@@OwenNeidhart you are welcome. i have been studying serial murder for years and i researched this case because it angered me that people were so greedy all they cared about was the money they could make off the victims. Even ex detectives jumped on the money wagon so me and a few other found Jack that was not the hard part the hard part is what we are doing now and that is to get the hard evidence for the court. Jack the Ripper was a man named George Hutchinson we are 100% sure on this. the cops missed him back then because they had no idea what a serial killer was or how to catch one. once we solve the case you will never see books or movies about how we did it and we will never take a penny for solving it as we did it for the victims and their families.

You are probably right, yet it does show how the media ( newspapers ) would do anything to sell a story..

Oh, if only someone had the foresight to keep some samples of the kidney and of the victim's tissues, in hopes of future technologies being able to tell more. Nowadays, a DNA test would tell if they're a match (or if the kidney was even human, which it supposedly was as best they could tell) Intriguingly, it was part of a left kidney. The victim's left kidney was removed. Hmmm.... Another thing to consider - some of the suspects were low-class Jews who barely spoke English, if at all. So his writing skills likely would also be rudimentary. A short, poorly spelled letter would be more likely if this were true. Again, wish they photographed the graffito before washing it away, to compare handwritings
