Geoff from Thailand… loved your approach to this. The algorithm throws many other content creators at me on the same subject. I find yours to be my favorite. I hope your channel blows up. When you’re done with this topic, please consider the William Shakespeare conspiracy.

Awesome video, thank you. I think this is along the right lines. The Mary Jane Kelly murder has always been a sticking point for me. It is just a different person who did it. The murder is so different. It has more in common with a Thames Torso Murder (never caught that person either) than a Jack the Ripper murder. I think that the press had a lot to do with the myth around Jack the Ripper and you are probably right, connected different murders to link them together to sell papers.

That was far more eye opening than I thought it was going to be. I thought you were simply going to name a single suspect, but I think you're right that the media created the persona of Jack the Ripper. I think the quality of your content is way above the subscriber count you should have. Would you consider reaching out and having sunrise /sunset (England / Australia) joint video with The House of Lechmere channel? You both have the same high quality research, the same facts-based outlook. I think it would be both an entertaining and informative show. I posted on a comment on his channel. I hope you take this as intended - to help both channels and give us entertainment and food for thought. I'm not trying to spam your channel with Lechmere content.

Well researched Owen.I agree Mary Kelly murder was perpetrated by totally different person or persons than the others.I agree with your assessment different killers probably not on any suspect list.

Let’s go!

Great series of videos and you make some very important points abour there being more before and after " The 5" . I feel that the police called an end to JTR after the five because of panic and the press hype to stop more of the public from take things into vigilante situation causing more violence and covering there inability to catch the perpetrator . In the comments I see someone suggested you do a video with Mr Stow from The House of Lechmere which I think would be good and also may be Richard Jones from The Ripper Tour channel

Great video!!! I wanted you to say Cross😅but your ideas make sense. I feel like people bend over backwards to make their suspect fit the crimes instead of looking at the facts of each case. You looked at the facts and made a great case.

The WhiteChapel killer and JTR weren’t synonymous. We agree on that. But only looking at five victims and ignoring the other murders opens the door to inaccurate conclusions or worse, wild accusations. You clearly come from points of logic and reason and your presentation is brilliant! Great video as always!

Great series. Idk if you're interested in the "ax man" murders throughout America from around 1910 to 1912, then it picks up again after the war? Fascinating just to study. Also in New Orleans around that time.

You are right about one thing. There was no such person as Jack the Ripper. He is a phantom that the media created to explain a series of awful events, and which we have nurtured ever since. However there was almost certainly a serial killer operating in the Whitechapel area at the time, and that man was almost certainly responsible for canonical five murders, and possibly others. While murders with knives are commonplace, knife murders where teh throat is cut are very rare. Murders where the bodies are mutilated are exceptionally rare, even among serial killers. This is a serial killer with a very distinctive calling card. I don't think that it is far fetched to think that he could have used more than one knife. I also don't put much stock in analysis of whether he was left or right handed, because you can never be sure whether the stab wound was inflicted from in front or behind. While the Mary Kelly murder represents a significant change in the killers MO, it is a very plausible one. The killer had already been interrupted twice, and there was a massive increase in police presence on the streets after the double event. It must also be noted that it rained heavily the night of the Mary Kelly murder, and this would have driven the prostitutes off the streets, and into the pubs. While I can imagine that somebody else might have murdered Mary Kelly, and tried to make it look like the Ripper, I doubt that they would have spent two hours dissecting her body in detail, as it is estimated that the killer did. I think that this represent our killer taking his fantasies to their dreadful ultimate conclusion.

Food for thought. Gotta say I love me a critical thinker ❤. Eh, another Friday night not at the pub.

A Great Presentation 👋

love your video's from over in the uk. ive been obsessed with the Jack the ripper mystery for years but every suspect never fits the crimes! all of the murders are very different so tells me they are different killers, and the media jumped on the myth of 'jack the ripper' unknowingly or knowingly to sell paper's!

Great vid, I've always had sympathy for the view there may have been more than one killer or a copycat. The latter would be a bit of a coincidence considering the mutilation fetish, but there have been cases of 2 killers working together in the past. Also I think Liz stride and Mary Kelly Kelly are not exactly canonical. Then again sometimes I have the opposite view, that's what is is quite fascinating to me about this case, the constant assessment and reassessment. 3:48 3:48

I don’t believe there was one person who killed these women. As you say. These murders never started nor did they finish! I think it was a clever editor who needed to sell his papers. To me. That is the only fact that fits!

Mary Kelly was murdered by a woman. Jack the Ripper was aware and close by but ...... who killed Kelly was absolutely demented and that was what put an end to the murders until a few years later both ....... and Jack passed away. I'll tell you more soon

Certainly possible but if there was more than one perpetrator the police would have known about it? Something to think about..because I have always thought that Daffy Duck was more involved in the murders then originally thought a Daffy /Donald team up makes sense Criss Cross my friend Criss Cross...😅

Gr8 Stuff, Owen....Nailing your colours to the mast, but U didn't really do that, with an overview of the Media, Police and interactions with the Locals during that time in London's History...Well, the East End History, I suppose, eh Owen......I notice U did come back to Thomas Cutbush a number of times and to me, he is most-likely to have done a number of the murders, but as U said, probably not all 5....Many people think the Police knew who JTR was, but didn't commit to a Statement about the case...Sir Melville did his Memoranda that I found out was inter-office and not released to the newspapers...None of the Investigators ever nailed their colours to the mast and why it is still a cold case or unsolved case, 136 years on....The people that believe Aaron Kosminksi was JTR because he was identified by Israel Schwartz, who wudn't testify against him because he was a fellow Jew...Well, Lipsky was supposed to have been shouted at Israel from Liz Strides likely assailant, but wud he shout Lipsky at Israel or wud a local English Protestant or Catholic, eh Owen...That murder cannot be attributed to JTR in my opinion, as she wasn't strangled or slashed across the throat twice or mutilated, which didn't take long to do...Louis Diemschitz was there a fair while after the Schwartz Sighting of the killer and the killer had plenty of time to do his stuff....He didn't, so unlikely it was JTR IMHO, eh Owen.😀

coppycat is nonsence a something to muddy the waters the dear boss was writen by jtr hes telling you about his std the murders stoped at c#5 because his ship sailed 14 more in forign ports ttfn&ty
