"We would look for someone with below or above average height and/or weight"
That surely helps to narrow it down, sir. Thank you
Charles Allen Lechmere was around 5'7" or shorter.
Or not
@walkawaycat431 so he and every single person on earth would fit that description
@@RuminatingWizard Hardly. I'm 5'10" 🤣😂
@thecritic8096 Who knows, who cares? Eyewitness testimony is highly unreliable, especially in the dark when you're drunk.
Debate on whether it was David Cohen or Aaron Kosminsky is still ongoing. Police of that time suspected low-class Polish Jew and he was named: Kosminsky, without mentioning his first name. Both Aaron Kosminsky and David Cohen were insane, but Cohen timeframe fits better.
I remember reading about this case in an article long time ago, and specially one sentence struck me from that article. As I remember it read...:"
Human kidneys are very hard to find for someone with no surgeon knowledge, or someone who is not trained in anatomy...."
Jack the Ripper was operating his victims in pitch black darkness, removing kidneys and within 15 min.....
That speek´s volumes.
Yes it does. And even harder than that, is reaching down into the pelvis, identifying and removing the uterus. In the dark. Even with a lamp, you'd almost have to do it by feel for either organ. And kidneys don't just pop out once they're identified. Pretty delicate to do without puncturing the kidney (unless the reports say he did)
He did?
Well, its gonna be hard if you are really looking for a kidney. In my opinion he wasn't really looking for anything in particular and just wanted to extract any kind of anatomical souvenir. His way of mutilation was very much chaotic, destructive and without any reason. Please read the reports on Mary Jane Kelly murder. It's very much gruesome but shows how incoherent and insane Ripper was.
@@mariuszstanisawczyk8990 Of course he was insane! But to be fair, he did by share luck evade being captured. Even himself, according to his letters, expected to be captured at any time.....
...."I will do my work until I get caught"....or something simular he wrote in one of his letters. We still dont have ANY idea who he was. Not a SINGLE peace of evidence can link his crime to anybody.....
Scary stuff!
@@perhentzepetersen9310 most of the letters were considered a hoax. I think that "Dear Boss" letter was known to be written by some journalist. Only one letter could be true - "From Hell" letter which came with a portion of the human kidney.
I don’t think the killer was insane (as in, mentally unable to control themselves in social settings/required hospitalisation.). This person was carful. They avoided getting caught in a crowded part of a crowded city, by most accounts were literate in English if not educated, and were aware enough of what they doing to take care. I don’t think it was some unfortunate, muttering in the street. I think it was a local who worked in the area and had reason to be out early in the morning.
I agree with you. He corresponded with the police taunting them, thats not so schizophrenic, talking to himself in the street.
@@seanspec89by most accounts, all correspondences with the police were either reporters trying to drum up,sales or just loons messing with the police.
Yeah it definitely wasn’t this David cohen guy . It was most likely the surgeon guy I forgot his name that most other theories think was him
Charles Lechmere was "in the area" for all of them and was seen twice, once at the scene of the crime.
@@ThePrinceOrtmayer Lechmere cannot be connected to all of the victims.
You are describing a specific individual named Aaron Kosminski. David Cohen was the generic name given to unidentified Jewish suspects.
Exactly. Current thinking is Dr. Francis Tumblety who lived in area then moved to NY where ripper- like killing gs continued.
It was John Doe🤔
Not so. Kosminski was sent to the asylum in 1891 and died in 1919. This David Cohen fellow whoever he was did indeed die in 1889 and was sent to the asylum a mere month after the last Jack The Ripper murder. It fits like a glove.
The name David Cohen was most likely mistaken for a man named Nathan Kaminsky, who was arrested and in police custody at the time and fits Jack The Ripper perfectly
Thank you!
Some things that the video missed are that the letter signed "Jack the Ripper" didn't really come from the killer, Cohen at 23 is younger than the profile expects that the Ripper would be, and there is disagreement about who was the last Ripper victim, though Kelly being the last is the conventional wisdom.
Where did you get the idea that Cohen was 23? He was incoherent; they didn't even figure out his real name let alone his age.
there are only two letters we believe are from the real ripper and that is the Sept 17th dear Boss letter and the from Hell letter.
@@joeylowell293 I think most Ripperologists believe that the Dear Boss letter is a hoax, and the handwriting in it appears to be different from that of the From Hell Letter.
@@otisdylan9532 Hi Otis your right the Dear Boss letter dated on the 25 Sept. was fake but the first Dear Boss Letter dated sept 17th was from the ripper and the sad thing is most people don't even know about this letter and that is because of the wanna be Detectives that the Ripperologists think they are its because of these rats who just want to make money off the victims is the reason this case has not been solved in main stream media and has the most suspects and most are a joke, ever seen in a case!
Often it is said that age is not really good indicator and Douglas mentions this in his profile. But he also suggest that most of the time such crimes are commited by young offender. So there's that. Its not meant to be exact.
Wasnt David Cohen actually Nathan Kaminsky? And the name/records possibly confused with Aaron Kosminski?
That was the idea of Martin Fido but I think it was proven wrong.
@@mariuszstanisawczyk8990I’ve heard from interviews of ripperologists saying it’s been proven wrong I don’t know if you do but do you have any links to evidence proving Fido wrong?
I agree with you..
@@Winston.S.Churchill
I think that is the least provable part of Martin Fido's theory. I think his conclusion that David Cohen was the killer is at least as solid as any other suspect, and far better than most. If one gives any credibility to Swanson and Anderson, who I think deserve serious consideration, then Cohen is the only real fit to their story of the killer being found and put away. Their assertion cannot be dismissed lightly. That Cohen is Kaminsky is harder to conclude with certainty, but I am not aware than anyone has excluded that possibility altogether.
I totally agree....@@Rollin_L
Anyone who is interested in this case you should listen to the coverage of Morbid Podcast on Jack the ripper, the host who researched this case is an autopsy tech and she read the autopsy records on all the victims and concluded that Jack the ripper had to have extensive knowledge and experience in anatomy. He made a typical Y shaped cut that are done in autopsies, and was able to find 1 of the sick kidneys in one of his victims and remove it the way a surgeon would. And he did all of this in pitch black darkness within 15 minutes. Also they proved how the doctor who made the profile and worked on the last cases was a total buffoon who had no idea of what he was talking about.
A doctor!
I agree.
There isn't and never has been a general consensus on this. Other experts think that somebody with basic butchery knowledge could have done it.
JTR got poop on him when messing about inside Eddowes. No surgical expert would make that mistake.
@@lyndoncmp5751 And that was not noted by anybody? Surgical expert, no. But what about a butcher?
@@perhentzepetersen9310
Yes some have said perhaps a butcher. Pig anatomy is not too different to human. Also back then, a lot of people knew how to skin and cut up rabbits etc. Not like today where hardly anyone knows how to cut up animals for food.
What is very intriguing about this case is it makes it harder to figure out who Jack The Ripper was because he was very careful and in addition there were so many killings going on in that Whitechapel area in that time period. But i always thought the killer was hiding in plain sight. Which is why is you go off the first official murder, it was Charles Cross/Lechmere. He was standing over the victim and encouraged Robert Paul to not move the body. To me it suggested he didn't wanna be discovered. Then he didn't volunteer to come forward until Robert Paul mentioned him. Even when he did, he gave his last name as Cross that wasn't his real name as Lechmere was his last name. It doesn't mean 100 percent he was Jack The Ripper but i do believe the evidence there is so circumstantial that if you were building a case it would leave very little reasonable doubt.
James Kenneth Stephen, the tutor to Prince Albert Victor. He was in love with Albert and when Albert got married he went a little nuts. He also had a 'head injury' in 1886 before the murders. He hated women. Died in a mental hospital believing that he was 'going to be arrested.' After Prince Albert died he refused to eat and died 20 days later in 1892. I will always think that he was the Ripper.
I disagree with there findings. Paranoid schizophrenics don’t make successful serial killers. The profile is close but it’s off because he’s only taking part of the murder spree into account. It’s highly likely the Whitechapel killer was also the Thames torso killer. The killer wasn’t a raving maniac but a cold, cunning narcissistic psychopath. This was a guy with a wife and kids. He didn’t hate women. He just enjoyed butchering them. He was a Chamaeleon, a master at pretending to be something he really wasn’t.
He was an organized, impulsive but careful killer. And like all psychopaths, a pathological liar.
David Cohen might have been dangerous, but that doesn’tmake a serial killer
Charles Allen Lechmere.
Hi your right in what you have said he was also the Thames Torso killer as well as the ripper by the way his name was George Hutchinson.
@@joeylowell293 hey, there’s a couple problems with this guy being the killer. First, his age was around 25-30 years old. That would make him too young to be the TT killer.
The only link to the killings was Sarah Lewis’ claim to have seen him hanging around Millers Crt. And his own testimony.
Inspector Abberline interrogated and cleared him.
He was an unemployed laborer. Some accounts say he was in the military. Ok… not even a butcher. So what would he know with anatomy?
Here’s the key… the guy who killed Polly Nichols pulled down her dress hiding the abdominal wounds he inflicted. Why? Answer that and there’s the killer.
@@davesmith7432 Hi Dave No Disrespect but i can tell you are on the Lechmere wagon based off the Documentary. anyway like i said i have been studying serial murder for years so i do know what i am doing and what to look for when trying to find a monster. Your right he was 28 years old and NOT to young to have been the Torso killer. As we know serial murderers can start at an early age i do believe the youngest was 9 in India. Had it not been for Sara Lewis seeing George Hutchinson we would never have heard of him but because he got spooked into telling a story to cover him being seen we get to see his EGO jump into play. All serial killers have huge EGO's and that is the way most get caught. Know body knows if G.H knew the human Anatomy but i am betting he did and i am betting he has killed lots of times and you don't need to be a butcher of animals to know how to cut up a human body. Jack was NOT a pro at cutting up a human he just knew how to do it fast and took the easiest parts. remember back then cops had no clue what a serial killer was or how to catch one and that's why they failed as for G.H. being cleared let me remind you the York shire ripper was talked to nine times and cleared. as for your Key he pulled the dress over the wounds because he heard Lechmere coming and had not done what he wanted to do but he also did not want to get caught and if the wounds had been seen there is a good chance he would have been caught so that is why he covered the wounds to give him the extra time to get away. had i been the killer i would have done the same thing.
@@joeylowell293 No disrespect taken Joe. I think Lechmere is guilty based on the book, “Cutting Point” by Christer Holmgren & Edward Stow’s channel, “House of Lechmere”. It’s good to hear differing opinions. I agree that Abberline could have been wrong. I don’t think he knew what he was supposed to be looking for. And we don’t know for sure who the killer was so we have to consider all possibilities.
We don’t anything on this guy except he was loitering around Millers court. I think he and Sara came forward because there was a juicy reward for information leading to the capture of the killer. It’s far less of a stretch than a 12 year old dismemberment serial killer.
Now, what do we know about Lechmere? He lived and worked in Whitechapel & Spitelfields his whole life. He was 23 in 1872 & 39 when Polly died. Being a carmen, and helped his mom out in her cats meat business. So he had a reason to be out at 3am. We know he was alone with Polly at the time of her death. Llewelyn said she’d been dead only a half hour. He lied to PC Misen about he he saw. He lied about his identity at the inquest. That’s a big deal. Lying about who you are during a murder investigation.
Why? And what kind of person would do that? Take that risk?
You mentioned egos. Yes, serial killers have them. Fragile too. You would agree all serial killers are psychopaths or sociopaths. They’re all narcissists and often pathological liars. I think it’s safe to say this behavior was suspicious. If you apply those traits to his actions, they start to make sense.
Here’s some fun coincidences:
Annie Chapman was killed a week after Polly at the spot Lechmere & Paul parted ways. Later, Paul was arrested & interrogated.
If you draw a line from the spot Kat Eddowes was killed through the spot the missing blood & feces laced missing piece of apron was found, it will point straight to 22 Doveton St
The Pinchin St torso was found in archway a few minutes walk from Lechmeres moms cats meat shop on Cable St.
Where the archway stands used to be a house on a street called Thomas, where the torso was dumped, guess who lived in that house as a boy?
In all likelihood, Jack the Ripper is someone who's never been named and never came to the police's attention. Remember that at the time the police were sure that the murderer had to be some slavering lunatic. We know now that that's not true - most serial killers "pass" as normal people. Of the people named in the investigations, I like the following three:
Charles Cross, the first person who discovered Mary Ann Nichols' body. Or rather, he was seen by another worker, Robert Paul, standing over her body. Oh no look what's happened, let us fetch a policeman.
George Hutchinson, a witness in the Mary Jane Kelly murder. He didn't come forward until someone else told the police they'd seen him loitering in a doorway near the scene of the murder. Suddenly he has a detailed description of definitely Jack the Ripper with Mary Jane Kelly, right down to the colour of the man's eyelashes. At night.
Robert Mann, a mortuary attendant, who handled two of the victims' bodies and undressed one despite being told not to disturb the body by police. He had tuberculosis which would explain why the murders stopped - he became too weak to commit them.
Look up Jacob Levy
It’s not Cross, IMO.. But like you, I’ve had my suspicions about Hutchinson… For the exact same reasons..
Cohen is a good suspect, too, and probably better than Hutchinson..
My fave is still Druitt.. Even though I don’t it’s him, but someone on a very similar trajectory..
If he didn’t speak English and was crazy, how did he write the letters?
Cohen doesn't seem capable of getting away with anything
Interesting theory. The dates do match when the murders suddenly stopped.
However, as pointed out in other comments here, the letters were written in good English, so that raises a question mark.
Granted the letters may well have been a hoax,.
Charles Letchmere, however, was English. The mystery with Lechmere, though, is why he suddenly stopped.
Yes, with the possible exception of the "From Hell" letter, the letters were hoaxes.
A number of serial killers have stopped though.
Some killers do just stop though... there is a theory the Thames torso killer and JTR are the same person.
Other knife murders happened Post 1888. There’s a fair chance he didn’t stop.
(I suspect Cross too. At least, nothing discounts him.)
@@foxesofautumn I don't think JTR committed the Thames Torso murders, but I do think that Alice McKenzie, killed in July 1889, was a Ripper victim.
I agree that nothing rules out Cross, but there are quite a few suspects that that's true of.
@otisdylan9532 His name is not Cross. It's Charles Allen Lechmere. He lied about his name.
Followed this case, but paid the most attention to the newspaper reports at the time, not the modern speculations. I think it was cartman, Charles Letchmere aka Charles Cross, or someone very much like him who lived and worked in the area. They actually caught him in the act, and then let him go.
That last sentence could be a very solid reason why it's not him. And people never think about it. Why would he be let go and still do 3 straight up murders and brutal ones once again in places anyone could just catch him? If 1 single eye would have seen him again at 1 of those murders he'd be absolutely fucked beyond recognition. It was not him
@@kenzopeypers738 It was Lechmere.
@@walkawaycat431 Ooh were you there? So crazy people can put a exact name on the ripper. The Lechmere theorists are way too fucking certain of it being him.
@kenzopeypers738 He's the best suspect by far. We can argue the case made for him. He can be placed at a crime scene, and there is a mass of overwhelming circumstantial evidence against Charles Allen Lechmere. No one can place another suspect at a murder site. That's why we're confident. Edward Stow is finding out more and more every day on "The House of Lechmere" we can debunk every other suspect as well. Until a better suspect comes along, I believe 99% that Lechmere is guilty. No one can be 100% certain because there is no physical evidence. But his actions are highly suspicious. If you care to debate me on this, I'll oblige? Some of my comments have been erased, and I couldn't answer you yesterday.
@kenzopeypers738 He was passing by 4 murder sites at the exact time they'd be happening on his way to work. I'm including Martha Tabram. She was killed less than 2 months after Lechmere moved from his mother's house to 22 Doveton street, it was on his new route to work.
The ripper must have been as charismatic as any classic serial killer. These women (even if they wanted clients) would not walk away with a clearly deranged person. He probably cut their throats first while standing so they wouldnt scream.
It's a little bit bush league to not heavily cite Martin Fido in this video. The David Cohen stuff was almost entirely his own. He deserved more than just a cursory mention.
Indeed. Before Fido's research, no one had even heard of David Cohen.
@@otisdylan9532 Totally true. Fido's amazingly researched book, along with Donald Rumbelow's, are two of the absolute best any Ripper "scholar" can read.
@@jaw0608 Yes, those are 2 great ones. Philip Sugden's book is great too.
Ha ha ha "bush league"
Absolutely was not the first documented case of a serial killer in the UK
I’ve always thought this man was Jack. He’s often rambling in the streets and he obviously knew how to keep quiet when he needed too. I also think it’s really funny how he had to wear a strong dress so he didn’t rip off his clothes 💀💀
I have always believed that the higher ranking police knew the identity of JTR and what happened to him. If the killer was infect a Jewish immigrant it would be better for them for him to go unnamed into an asylum.
Indeed.
No, they were as clueless as they were nearly a hundred years later in Yorkshire. They had no idea who he was.
@@lyndoncmp5751 BS nonsense
@@jimlewis2395
The police had no idea who the Ripper was, and were clueless and naive. They didnt possibly think the Ripper could be somebody outwardly normal, even respectable...... as most serial killers tend to be.
The Ripper wasn't caught.
A hundred years later in Yorkshire they were equally as clueless. The Yorkshire Ripper was caught by accident via, stolen license plates.
@lyndoncmp5751 Everyone on this comment section of all this video are clueless. Charles Allen Lechmere is the best suspect by far.
Why did they stop making new episodes of Mind Hunter?
Nathan Kaminsky
Ressler was the Kenobi to Douglas' Luke.
It was the two men who "found" Polly Nichols.
If you are unfamiliar with Jacob Isenschmidt, he was an interesting character. He was locked up after Chapman I believe though.
I still say that it's Charles Allen Lechmere!!
This profile fits soooo many of the suspects. Sooo many.
Douglas often failed with his opinions, not to mention the fact that he sold his opinions for good money (e.g. the wm3 case). On a different note, Larry Bittaker, who was an exceptional smart guy, even made fun of Douglas and his so-called ‘wit’, when Douglas unsuccesfully tried to ‘enter’ Larry’s mind. This so well praised Douglas guy is not such a propper standard in profiling, there are other profilers far more proficient than him
there were serial killers before Jack ....they were called repeat killers
Well he managed to write some well written English letters in good handwriting albeit a couple of spelling mistakes.
Yep, I mentioned that also. This doesn't compute.
That was my first thought, too.
What's with the footage of junk in the woods? What is it's relevance? The same footage was used in the Jon Benet video.
So we still don't know who he is. Lol.
From the thumbnail it looks like Nick Valentine from Diamond City
I'm still going with Charles Lechmere
Then you're going alone, without evidence.
@@Bigwave2003
No evidence
I suggest you watch the documentary with Swedish journalist the detective and everything he brought to the table he was actually at the first murder under a different name.
He gave his name as Charles cross he was at the murder scene and you are saying no evidence, I think someone at the murder site would be a culprit, 😂
Documentary to watch the missing evidence there was also a book written about him but I guess in your mind it was published for myself to read 😂 also he was a suspect in the Thames torso murders.
@@peterscott1411 I have watched Christer Holmgren's film. It's long on theory and wild speculation, but no real evidence. Charles Lechmere and Robert Paul discovered a body along the road almost simultaneously. If Lechmere had just butchered and nearly decapitated the victim he would have been dripping in blood. He wasn't. Nobody said he was. Paul felt safe enough in Lechmere's company to walk with him through dark streets in search of a policeman.
Besides, police at the time considered the case solved. See Sir Robert Anderson's memoir that identifies the killer as a Polish Jew. Once put under surveillance the murders stopped. See Chief Inspector Donald Swanson's notation that Jack the Ripper was Kosminski.
Lechmere dunnit
The ONLY suspect to have been seen by someone else lingering alone and acting suspiciously right next to the body of one of the victims at or near the time of death and with nobody else in sight or sound.
There is not a jot of evidence placing Cohen at any of the crime scenes.
I don't think he was as deranged as profiled. If it was a schizophrenic or having a psychotic episode why would they stop when they heard footsteps like on the double event?
I agree he was a very clever methodical killer he took risks yes I believe he had some knowledge of butchering if he was describing kominski the polish immigrant who was illiterate, who put the note on the wall about the Jews that was washed away ? I'm going for Charles Lechmere he was at the first murder scene but gave his name as Charles cross, also a documentary on him called the missing evidence also a book.
You are correct. The Ripper was no outwardly abnormal lunatic.
The arrest of Colonel Russell Williams, base commander of Trenton Royal Canadian Air Force Base, in 2011 shocked everybody. He did not fit the profile of a serial rapist and killer. No criminal profiler would have picked him.
I don't think that being schozophrenic necessarly means that he would not evade being captured. First of all he was almost cought twice and secondly his hunting ground was very much dangerous for him: mainly opened streets. So he is trying to hide but at the same time not so much.
He serves as an example. It’s not because of lack of technology. If the killer is good, as they should be they will remain anonymous. Zodiac wasn’t found
John Douglas: We would look for someone below or above average height and/or weight.
Lee Evans: Well that’s fucking everyone init?.🤷♂️🤯🤕
You made no mention that David Cohen was also infected with syphilis.
He couldn’t write the letters
I hope that isn't meant to be a portrait of David Cohen. Because that guy looks old as fuck. Not the 25-35 year old John E. Douglas predicted. That would MASSIVELY contradict his theory.
The profile, in one way or the other, probably fits quite a few of the poverty stricken and abused by society men of White Chapel. Some known many unknown!
Only one suspected person actually walked by each murder site on his way to work or on his way from work and that was Charles lechmere he fix the profile better than anybody his proximity to the murders is unrealistic to be an accident or a bystander let's mirror was with the first victim longer than he say he was because he stated a different time that he left from home giving him more than 5 to 7 minutes alone with the first victim when he was caught over the victim or next to the victim by another guy walking up behind him Charles lechmere fits better
It seems implausible that a Jewish immigrant would have surgical skills and beautiful handwriting while living in the slums. It just doesn't fit the profile. Walter Sickert or H.H. Hughes would be much better suspects. Apparently DNA recovered from one of the victims was traced to Aaron Kosminski but I'm extremely skeptical.
Writing these letters (if these were real) collides with the assumption of not speaking proper English.
I don't agree with this. Look at the handwriting. Cohen wouldn't have written in such a correct grammar. How educated was he?
There is little to suggest that any of the letters were more than pranks, the two most famous ones probably from a newspaper journalist, one suspected by police even at the time of being the sender.
For starters there's no way in hell that the Ripper would be wearing a top hat & cloak.That hat would be left behind at the crime scene as it probably would fall off during the crime or the attempt to escape .
So far as I recall, that clothing description never appeared in any witness reports. That was, I believe, a creation from the media at some point.
This so speculative and prejudicial so as to be utterly and completely worthless. Good God, why would you make this video? Your previous videos have been far better than this.
😂😂😂no body will ever know .
just reminds me of the zodiac stuff. every month theres a new suspect and whats weird is every single one of em fit the profile for it. they all look like how the zodiac looks and they lived in the area and they all were into something weird. it makes me think the zodiac is really a small cult and each member did a diff murder in the name of the zodiac or something.
choen sounds like hes schitzo. a lot of the time when people think others are posessed its just schitzophrenia and his behaviors line right up with it. it wouldn't surprize me if hes the ripper but the ripper wrote letters and this guy can't even eat properly. is it possible he also had split personality disorder too? which is how one minute hes a babbling freak and the next hes writing letters and having perfect knife skills. is it possible cohen was used by someone else? HH holmes was around there at the time and he was a pretty precise killer. wouldn't shock me if holmes used cohen to do the murders while holmes wrote the letters.
It's a bit like D B Cooper, too. A dozen men fit the profile perfectly. And yes, there's likely to be something unexpected that would single one of them out.
Charles Allen Lechmere is the best suspect by far.
No chance. The FBI profiling is far more convincing. Somebody who could put his victims at ease before murdering them. Mary Kelly the last victim was known to be very concerned about the killer but was heard in her room with her last client ( the killer) singing. There is no way these street wise women would have gone with semi mad impoverished immigrant who was probably known in the area as somebody to avoid. The victims were not sexually molested either so the killer was not motivated by that.
Imo the ripper waited for the unfortunate victim's to start taking a dump -this might well explain a thing òr two about the murders but doesn't leàd to the killer - sorry .
If the suspect couldn’t speak English, how could he write and sign letters?
There was really only one letter thought to be by Jack. The “From Hell” letter which was signed “Catch me when you can.” Yiddish is close to German and Germans capitalise nouns. The letter capitalised Kidney. Also the spelling was bad and the writing was weird and David didn’t only speak Yiddish. He could speak English but he just didn’t like to. It’s possible he could have been Jack
I think he is the best suspect so far, with some issues… Mostly age.. The suspect was routinely described as older, but it’s a dark and dank place..
Everything else fits, IMO..
I think Randy Williams has a great spin on it a little less flamboyant than From Hell. It makes sense.
I'd never convict anybody for a murder just because some bigshot "expert" believes that he draw a suspect profile and this guy might fit that description.
Charles Lechmere
Very sad indeed. The gruesome deaths was unimaginable.
P.S. All Jacob Frye tried to do was help Jack when he was younger. 😏
Just started playing that dlc that’s why I’m watching this vid rn it got me interested
The one where Jacob comes to modern/future times and assasinates all of jack the rippers descendants is the best . So damn brutal. Some of the best Assasinations in the whole series . And getting to see Jacob in the year 2096 is so dope . All the flying cars and shit for him to jump off of to do the air attacks
@@julianmitchell5776 lol
There are two things that is often not reported in Jack The Ripper cases, which makes me think he got the right person:
1. The police just mysteriously stopped patrolling Whitechapel. IMO this tells me they caught or killed Jack The Ripper. Part answers why they didn’t announce it.
2. Hostilities were quite high towards the Jewish population in London. So if it came out that a Jew was the man responsible for the killings, there would be an out and out war on the Jewish population. The police decided to keep their findings to themselves.
Much of the findings at the time don’t hold up under modern forensics. Also the odds are none of the correspondences with the police were from Jack The Ripper. The correspondences were either reporters trying to boost sales or people messing with the police.
Could explain the phrases written on the wall about the Jews won't be blame for nothing. could the killer wrote this or someone who knew the killer or was it just a bigot who wrote it?
Jack rhe ripper was Sir William Gull
Surgeon to the Royal family.
Lechmere dunnit.
More likely than Cohen. At least there is direct evidence of Lechmere at a crime scene acting suspiciously.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Why would he be let go and still do 3 straight up murders and brutal ones once again in places anyone could just catch him? If 1 single eye would have seen him again at 1 of those murders he'd be absolutely fucked beyond recognition. It was not him. He'd have to have been the most stupid person alive to take that risk.
@@kenzopeypers738
Stupid? Or bold. Ted Bundy abducted TWO women on the same day and same place in broad daylight........ and even called himself Ted. Far more stupid than anything Lechmere did (if he was JTR).
Killers don't anticipate being seen and caught. They think in the positive ("nobody is going to catch me") in the moment of it, although they may worry for a while after. When they need to kill it overides everything else.
The WM3 are 99% guilty if anyone really looks into the case.
Didn't they ID the ripper through dna?
Sort of, they found DNA that matched Kosminski. But it can’t be proven that the shall belonged to a victim and that the DNA wouldn’t fit other people.
Lechmere
About 11:15 you misread erotic as erratic.
Charles Allen Lechmere.
I think his profile is generic, at best...
What a load of dramatized bollocks
Charles "Cross" Lechmere was likely the Ripper.
More evidence against him than any other suspect at least.
Nope. If the guy could barely speak English and was from another country, how do they explain the mocking letters? These had local slang in them and were relatively well written. They missed on this profile.
Perhaps someone else wrote the letters? Like in case of Zodiac?
@@arhexirthewistful5891 Yes, the Ripper wrote at most one of the letters, and not the one cited in this video.
The letters may not have been written by the actual killer
Did sell a lot of newspapers at the time and later many books! Maybe the joke is on the people and it’s all fake??
II am of the opinion that it was aaron kosminski, who was JACK THE RIPPER.it may well have cohen.certainly a polish jew.He too fitted the profile.
Profile seems to fit Charles lechmere
Lechmere was a little older than the profile indicates, and didn't live by himself, nor is there any reason to believe that he was socially inept, or that he hated women.
Nonsense. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever for Lechmere being the ripper. Literally NOTHING!!!! Its just a dumb, new theory. Invented by a guy who made a lot of money with it, duping VERY gullible people
Sounds like he is describing Charles Cross/Lechmere.
He is wrong about the West Memphis Three, they're guilty.
There were murders like these in America after they finished here🇬🇧🆘💯 it was also claimed that he was part of sailing ship crews mored along the Thames....💯🆘🇬🇧🔚🗣️🤑😁🎬
Could have possessed. Profiling is not an exact science but an experienced, informed, well trained guess. Therefore, it is not actually a science at all, not subject to testing and repeatable results. The Carter Charles Cross/Lechmere, who discovered Mary Nichols' body, walked to work, lived quite near all of the murders, and lied to police giving a false name, his step father's who happenedto be a constable. He possessed many of the traits, had the time as he walked to work at 4am and passed most murder sites, and could have splashed blood on himself and his work apron without ever drawing attention as he supposedly sometimes transported meat. He had the means, the time, and considering his relationship with his mother and wife, quite possibly the motivation. He's just as good a suspect as any of the others.
There is absolutely no evidence against Lechmere whatsoever, literally NOTHING!!!!!
Plus Cross tried to avoid the police, even as a witness. There may have been other reasons but he didn’t have an extensive rap sheet.
Watch "The House of Lechmere"
@@walkawaycat431 I watched it. Its a ludicrous pile of crap.. No evidence whatsoever against Lechmere. Literally NOTHING!!!
@@foxesofautumn MANY people of that time, in that area tried to avoid the police, for MANY different reasons. It doesnt mean they were all Jack The Ripper
Thomas Cutbush was high on my list but still not my number 1 suspect. That is George Hutchinson his witness statement is so detailed of who he saw 1 victim with the night she got murdered. For a poorly lit area to know the color of the buttons on a man's boots is bizarre. Plus he puts himself near the victim that night.
Charles Allen Lechmere
And a tone of obsession with Mary Kelly, too.. He’s definitely interesting..
No chance!.. lol..
It doesn’t matter how many times you post it, dude… The Ripper did not see old age, no way..
😂😂😂
Aaron Kosminski did it.
Profiling is a real thing, but it has never actually helped anyone catch a criminal. Once suspects are caught through other means, the profiles do turn out to be accurate, but no one has actually used a profile to find a culprit. I was living in Atlanta during the child murders and never once believed that Wayne Williams was guilty.
No research at all went into the making of this video. Absolutely absurd.
@@lfc945 Charles Allen Lechmere.
@TWT525 They've taken down your replies. I can see it on my notifications, though. You have to remember there was no blood visible until Constable Neil came along. Polly Nichol's was a very fresh kill. Robert Paul saw no blood, had none on his hands, nether did Lechmere. Robert Paul even felt her chest for movement.
@TWT525 The forensic investigator on the crime scene said that she'd been dead no longer than 30 minutes, this was at 4:15. This is in official court documents and newspaper accounts. Where are you getting your information? I'm speaking about Polly Nichol's case.
@TWT525 Robert Paul's inquest testimony "I saw a man standing where the woman was" her throat was cut, almost decapitated, her skirts had been pulled down to cover her abdominal wounds.
@TWT525 He NEVER testified that he was a "Good bit away" that's a lie. She was strangled before she was cut, no arterial blood spray. Robert Paul and Charles Lechmere said they saw no one else on the streets. There was no escape to anywhere on Buck's Row.
I still like Charles Lechmere for it
Why would he be let go and still do 3 straight up murders and brutal ones once again in places anyone could just catch him? If 1 single eye would have seen him again at 1 of those murders he'd be absolutely fucked beyond recognition. It was not him.
I still do not understand why he's so popular of a theory. Yeah i get it he was seen with a body, could he just not have seen it and walked up to it? People never mention he'd have been stupid enough to do another 3 murders the exact same way for anyone to catch him again knowing he would have been caught already in the first 1? And he lived till the 1920's in whitechapel, would have had no reason to stop.
@@kenzopeypers738 First off, why WOULDN'T you continue to do it if you're a psychopath and got away with it. And as far as why people think he did it....there's a very concise documentary detailing why and it ties things together better than any of the other suspects.
@@neilbowman573 Man listen. You Lechmere theorists are the only ones who are convinced that it is him. It could literally be anybody. Sure Charles is a psychopath with many kids and a huge family living together but all the other suspects who were legit not good in the head can't be the killer? Charles gave his correct address and place of employment and used his name of his stepfather. Why is this so suspicious? Is it so weird for me to think he just found the body on his way to work?
Ooh he lived there and he took them streets often, yeah so? So did everyone who lived there atleast few times a week. I have not seen 1 good argument besides he was seen with a body but today people find dead bodies all the time while others are passing by. I have not found a article or quote that said he ever at any point showed violent or crazy tendencies to anyone he knew.
Which i'd look for if you are talking about a man who literally skinned a woman to the very bone and took all her insides out. Then go home to his family and kids and act like nothing ever happened? He'd have to have been the most fucked up person ever for that which again i have not seen anything off that points that out. Why even take Mary's heart? To show it to his family when he came home? David Cohen still sounds like the best candidate.
@@neilbowman573 BTW he's gonna give the police wrong information to stay out of the picture but then again risk getting caught again 3 more times by other witnesses? Bullshit
@@kenzopeypers738 You clearly aren't psychopathic. Congratulations. But you obviously don't have very much insight into the mind of a killer let alone the mentality of the mind. Your argument has zero substance as it relates to Jack the Ripper. You're assuming the man is making logical reasonable decisions that a normal human would make.
CNN said Trump was jack the ripper.
Well think the Atlanta child killer they say was African American and it makes sense but I think that was the plan , because their thinking they would only trust their own race which is true for most thing. But who else could get them to do what they want 1) Police Officer who would have a badge power to arrest handcuffs to do a John Gacy I have thought a Police officer or even Agent or a middle age man with money who promise a lot and it's a group but. I have always thought a Police officer or even a retired police officer or a retired or active FBI AGENT.
I think it was H. H. Holmes. His building was a house of horrors and he had surgical skills. He was also in London at the time of the Ripper murders.
im glad the first known serial killer has that name lol. just nothing but H's. his family fuggin loved H's!
Nope. Charles Allen Lechmere. Holmes never left the United States. His MO for murder was monetary gain. Absurd suspect. Watch "The Missing evidence: Jack the Ripper" Smithsonian channel. Best suspect by far
Only the victim No 5 husband or lover can be placed at the scene of the crime and area .He knew the house very well ,probably had this own key and had a motive too .
The second well known serial killer after Jack the ripper would probably be Herman Mudget who was known as HH Holmes in the United States
Nothing but a petty con man, 💩 talker and theif 😂
Jack the ripper was American serial killer Dr. H.H.Holmes. He looked exactly like the police sketch. He was a surgeon so he knew how to and where to cut. Also he was in England. LONDON AT THE TIME. He returned to America at time for Worlds Fair. He built a huge bldg that hD shops rented out on street level. The rest of the floors he rented to people most who came for the fair. He had secret passages gas pipes in walls to incompacitate them. There were also slides he'd send the bodies or if alive they'd end up in his dungeon/operating room. He'd sell body parts or their whole bodies as medical cadavers or for insurance purposes. Once he was caught and sentenced to hang HIS LAST WORDS AS THEY BEGAN THE HANGING WERE QUOTE I AM JACK THE .....UNQUOTE.
Good video. Personally, I lean toward Charles Lechmere.
He was definitely the surgeon guy most other theories think he was . Don’t think he was this guy ….
I think it was H.H. Holmes. There was a video about it.
😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
It was Charles Allen Lechmere
Jacob Levy
The reason the police of the day speculated Jack the Ripper was Jewish was racism, not profiling.
Not true. First officials always said about other suspects, secondly if the suspect was Jewish they didn't publice this (wonder why?), thridly Charles Warren commanded removal of the famous "Juwes" graffiti (wonder why?). Lastly: there was a great Jewish community within the district, so the possibility of Ripper being Jewish was statistical to some extent.
You may be interested that there is a documentary about H.H. Holmes by his great great grandson. It is very detailed and filled with facts proven by modern science that evidence shows that Holmes may have been Jack the Ripper.
@BRETT Even if you don't agree with it, it may still be an interesting watch.
@@TheYarcob It's just such a nonsense theory, it's not worth anyone's time.
Nope, no way. The HH Holmes Ripper suspect theory is sophomoric and lazy. Kosminski was most likely Jack the Ripper.
Why do people always want their relatives to be terrible Murderers?
Holmes = 😂😂😂
It's pretty much already been proven that it's Charles Allen Lechmere
No, it hasn't. Other than being at one scene, he cannot be tied to any other any more than hundreds of other Londoners in Whitechapel. It's a purely circumstantial case which carries no real evidence. The reality is the identity of the killer can never be proven, no matter how good the theories may seem.
I still think it's H H Holmes. Jack just dissapears as if he wasn't really wanting to do it for murder but a means to an end (money).... Holmes's
What if it was a guy whose name was Jack Ripper
I always thought the killer was H.H. Holmes the notorious American serial killer who lived at the same time as Jack the Ripper
