It’s crazy to think that somewhere in the world, Jack the Ripper is laying peacefully in a grave along with the truth that died with him

Somewhere in this world, Jack The Ripper great grandchildren is living his/her life not knowing their great grandfather is the most popular serial killer in the history.
He would never have had grandkids. He hated women. I am sure he died single.
He prpb had no children idk
Maybe they do
@@mikiqxxi m sure he did
@@mikiqxxr u sure? He was a Sxual deviant but maybe he always didn’t off them when he finished lol. A lot of times they like, don’t follow their impulse or they don’t have any way to get away with it so they wait.
There is no question that whoever he was, Jack was familiar with the Whitechapel streets.
He was the streets
Well yeah lol
@@brandynmacdonald5242 😂
Why does Jack has to be a guy? Is there proof
@@silient6 Because it is obvious
It was actually pretty packed in that city even back then. Crazy he got away with it
That’s basically why he got away, so many people could be jack
@@Unku. not really u would think someone would have seen him or heard him or a woman scream in fear
@@slapbass8723 them you would also have to think on the place and ERA they are in, no cameras, police equipment isnt as advanced, and police are inexperienced.
@@Unku. I know that that's why I didn't say anything with tech on it I just said u would have thought someone would have heard something suspicious and went to maybe just go check it out
@@slapbass8723 i see what you mean but even then, there is only so nuch they can do or go off of with someone describing who they saw because of all the people in the city, idk if you looked into the case but if you do you’ll see they had alot of suspects that all weren’t him its oretty crazy
Coming from New York to London, I think their streets are now a well lit labyrinth. Maybe spoiled since avenues east to west and streets numbered south to north in NYC
As a Brit can confirm
As an American I can not confirm lol
@@AllAroundSleeves you’re American, you don’t know how lit London is..
@@TheWeekday2100 I loved my time working there, but confusing lol. It’s logical why, it has existed for centuries where NYC was more recently in historical terms and made like a grid.

There's also a theory or speculation that the national hero of the Philippines is Jack the Ripper. His name is Jose Rizal. He is said to be in London at that time and when he returned here to the Philippines, the killings stopped. He is also a doctor and a true genius so it matched the way the killer kills his victims. The hotel or the room he has stayed within London is also not that far from the killings. He is also a short and very well-dressed man because he came from a wealthy or noble family. He came to London in May 1888 and lived there for a few years because he is also a writer and he always goes home at midnight from the libraries. Another coincidence is when he left London, his room has a jar of human organs. It is quite a story here that he is in fact Jack the Ripper, that it became an urban legend or myth. Also many people here never actually knew he was in London at that time and who Jack the Ripper actually is, they just used it as stories because it is almost similar to his name Jose=Jack Rizal=Ripper. Nonetheless, He was in London in 1888 and lived there for a few years, he is a doctor who has knowledge of anatomy, is short and very well-dressed, and is a writer who often goes home at midnight or early morning from libraries.
That is an interesting deduction. Rizal was always smartly dressed and wore a derby hat even when he was in the Philippines but Rizal was very short, about 5'2" with a slim build. Even during his execution by the Spanish in front of a firing squad, he wore a suit and a derby hat. But I don't think it was him.
@@bradfordduarte1269 Rizal ain't the killer, he's too short
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 I agree. I said that.
Can’t be him it had to someone who already lived in the area hence why he always got away with the murders.
Aaron Kiminiski says hi
Somewhere in the world, someone might have known who is Jack the Ripper but the fear might've made them not to expose the Killer.
I genuinely think Lechmere's wife and older kids knew but kept quiet because if they tattled they'd lose the breadwinner of the family.
@@ThePrinceOrtmayerI really don’t think it was Lechmere. To each their own but It just wouldn’t make any sense that he just murdered on his way to work. Not only that but even if you tried not to, it is ridiculously hard not to get any blood on you so someone would have pointed that out
Fun fact: Jack the Ripper would leave his victims dead to give clues to the police but he was an intelligent assassin
😂😂😂
I’ve been studying the Ripper murders and the Whitechapel area at that time and it’s really interesting to see that Jack really got away with it. Any time later fingerprinting would have been used. Any other victims the search may have started early. The most interesting is the effect of the press. A start up newspaper called The Star sensationalised the Ripper murders and created images of a serial killer such as a Jew a Gent or a Doc. They also faked the ‘Dear Boss’ letter that taunted the Police but was found out it was written by someone involved with the Star. The police had almost nothing to work with and the area was extremely overcrowded. The press made it a lot worse by putting even more pressure on the police. The DNA technology hadn’t been invented yet.
He was found his name is Aaron Komoski
@@Adriannnn123 kosminski not komoski
So you are saying... with better technology and better detective work the ripper would of been caught! Well you don't say!
@@Adriannnn123 but why wasn't he arrested
@@michaeldevaney5728 he was a suspect at the time it only became 'confirmed' a couple of years ago
Hangover as a term related to alcohol does not originate from the act of hanging over a rope and sleeping off a rough night. It meant "after effects,a person or thing left over, unfinished business" before 1904 and in 1904 it was first used to describe the after effects of a night of heavy drinking. Y'all usually do a terrific job of fact checking but that one appears to have slipped through
Just kind of playing devil's advocate here as i have minimal evidence either way...
but it can sometimes be rather difficult to find the origins of colloquialisms/slang the longer they have been in use. And what you said may be true it doesn't exactly contradict what the video said.
Either way its always fun to study how our language is shaped and molded over time so this just gives me an excuse to jump down a rabbit hole lol. Also if you have a source id be very interested in checking it out.
No offense intended of course.
I have replied to thank you for this, but I have to assume it was deleted - my (polite & professional) message saying the same (and citing an article's title, author's name, & publication for further information) that I posted this morning disappeared upon refresh, then upon re-posting it (as I thought perhaps a YT hiccup), it didn't show up at all. Hmmm. Point is, thank you.
The Royal family married their first cousins which called brilliance and Insanity when they found out the Ripper was a doctor and a member of the Royal family so when the royals found out they locked him up in the castle and the killing stopped!!!
You gotta love the almost, but Jack is so mysterious
Oh no cringé
That is why i clicked on this video
'Let this be known as the day you almost caught ...' ... oh, wait ... wrong movie ... same actor ... different jack ... 😹😹
@@jackwilliam4436 ?
The Ripper was able to move around 'unnoticed' and he seemed to have some medical or surgical knowledge. He also seemed to give an sense of importance or wealth (making him less likely to be suspected by the police and having the women willing to go with him).
1) He was very familiar with the area lived/worked there (cabbie, police etc).
2) Was either trained or learned himself about medicine/anatomy (failed medical student?)
3) Seemed to be upper-class or prominent in some way (wealthy, doctor etc)
4) Could have had a helper or driver with a coach etc.
just my opinion
he's batman
I think he was probably a butcher or slaughterman.
Someone inventive, that was fascinated with female anatomy and wanted free time with them to do what he pleased.
My takes are on Charles Lechmere or William Grant Grainger
as always, the wealthy play with a good bit of a different set of rules
@@SuperMrHiggins on judgement day there will be no where to hide before Almighty God
No such thing
“You’ll remember this as the time you almost caught Captain Jack the Ripper!”
LOL best comment in the thread :)
He was right under their nose. Charles Allen Lechmere was laughing at everyone with duping delight, a killer in the night, hiding in plain sight.
"that is the best serial killer I have ever seen."
@@vincenthammons-kd9du "So it would seem"
3:20-3:45 I think its entirely reasonable that the Ripper killed this woman, the one who came before the first of the canonical 5, however he perhaps used a different weapon. After maybe cutting not as easily as he would've liked to, he obtained a new weapon, one that suited his needs a bit more. I think she was also one of the Ripper's victims
I agree! I've always felt that Martha Tabram should be considered the First victim, and that Mary Jane Kelly was in fact not a victim of the Ripper
Why do I always watch this alone at night... makes me frighten every time 🤣
Don’t worry. With technology these days they’ll be able to catch the killer after
You couldn't make your 'doss money' in a workhouse. They didn't pay anyone. They were for those who were totally broke and gave room and board in exchange for your work, nothing more.
Yall got me into learning everything
What I've learned in 13 minutes is that in the 1880s London was full of people wandering around past midnight.
Cuz I'm walkin' after midnight, out in the moonlight....
No TV no internet
Back then, the majority had a more biphasic sleep schedule
The ripper could have been a coroner that does post mortems, maybe thats where he got the skill from of cutting people open
On one scene you said Aug 31 but it said April 31, 1888. April only has 30 days in the month.
Not a big deal :) Human error is normal
Thought I was the only one
Martha Tabrum was killed in the early morning hours of August 7th and was last seen on the night of August 6th, and not April 6th as is printed on the screen at 3:39. Also, there is no mention of his last victim that took place in early November of that year.
It’s chilling how they make Jack smile almost all the video
i really enjoyed the video! its so good, please keep it up. im so interested in jack the ripper hahah 😻👍
They were so close to finding him within 10 minutes in the same night!
I’m convinced there was multiple people involved and the news and the lack of police just made it worst
The police were so incompetent, the ripper openly laughed at them. "Catch me if you can" was his oft mentioned quote.
Legend said Jack the ripper had never been caught.
He was never caught until he was found dead his body was floating in a river and came to the realisation that Jack the Ripper had committed suicide
That's because he always blamed it on the dog.
I remember the movie staring Johnny Depp, it mentioned some of the names of the women like Polly…
Polly anne nichols I think not sure
Martha Tabram, Mary-Ann (Pollie) Nichols, Annie Chapman, Catherine Eddows, Elizabeth Stride and Mary Jane Kelly.
Great movie! It was directed by the Hughes Brothers. Depp was awesome, loved the story.
what was Johnny staring at?😂😂
Have any policemen at the time been ruled out as potential suspects then?
What happened to Jack the Ripper?
Some say he stopped killing and lived out the rest of his life
Some say he committed suicide
Some say he was turned into a zombie by a blonde vampire and was killed by a buff British man who knows sunlight karate
WRYYY?
Some say he wielded a stand 🤷🏽♀️
@@chastity9272 jojo reference?
He either died or ended up in prison or a nut house
That "hangover" thing is false etymology.
Thank you for more content 🙏
Jack used the old sewer system in london to escape un noticed probably

Preciate you for that
He was one of a kind
Big fan keep up the good work
Great video 😊
Do a serial killer video on the Texarkana Phantom Killer
He did
@@lionmountain804 thank you
The last few weeks I’d been thinking about jack the ripper
"There use to be so much guess work compared to now" fact, but there is still A LOT of guess work done in medicine today
It is awesome to watch infographics show on youtube I like what would happen if you didn't brush you're teeth for 1 week
Informative
Never disappoints
So that's where the term "hangover" came from!.. wow.
Dinner and a show! Perfect timing!
Thank you.👍
The narrator’s voice is pleasing to the ear. I’m curious what this guy looks like lol.
Ikr lol
ScoobyDoo Can Find Jack If ScoobyDoo Was Real 😂😂😂
Your little calendar says 'April' and not 'August' in some of you timeline descriptions (not watched all of the video yet)
jack the ripper was like irl jeff the killer
Jack is interesting as he was lucky every time he escaped
He simply washed away the anger
Personally, once i learned about H H Holmes, and his torture mansion, and that he arrived in the US right around the time jack the ripper attacks stopped in london, ive assumed Holmes was jack the ripper 🤔
You keep saying that he could've been caught when in reality Jack would've just murdered anyone of those witnesses that saw him. Lol
there was a lot of smoke and gas fumes AND there was very little lighting
I am not an expert, so this is purely my personal opinion. It seems like you are reasoning under the assumption that there is only one perpetrator. It's possible that among the victims who were killed, there might be someone who imitated the perpetrator and carried out similar acts during the same period. However, in a book published eight years ago, it was written that DNA analysis of bloodstains found on one of the victim's shawls matched the DNA of one of the suspects, who happened to be of Polish descent.
Just curious, but at the time you made this video, you should have been well aware of the fact that Charles “Cross” was an alias for Charles Lechmere and that at this point, he is the prime and only practical suspect. So why wasn’t that included?
Cross/Lechmere may have been using the cross name as his workplace name also where is the evidence of him being the ripper. Cross also was his stepfathers last name so its not an alias
@@khaleelmohammed9924 Lechmere's step father died 20 odd years before. And also he wasn't adopted as Cross. His real name or alias wasn't recorded to the authorities in 1888. He was born christened married and died a Lechmere and so was the rest of his family.
@@susanclapp1721 his name on at least one census record was Charles cross, and who know he may have used the name at work
The Thames Torso Murders or Jack the Stripper would be interesting to cover
I am learning about jack the ripper in history
I can't belive people slept on a rope lol
“Are you drunk or dead?!” 😂😂🤭 I’m sorry. RIP to all the victims who assuredly did not deserve to meet this sick, fiendish monster.
Whos here after Roy Keane and Jill 😂
You know when everybody overlooked suppose it wasn't one person it was many medical students back in their days they did some terrible things didn't they so why wouldn't they try to operate on living bodies
'April 31st 1888': did April have 31 days in 1888?
Wow. This is crazy
Because it was Gandhi
😂
Fyi this is a real theory
Has Infographics done a series on Greek mythology?
I am surprised they didn't mention Cross wasn't his name used, why did Charles Lechmere give a childhood name instead of what he used in school, tax, and census records? If not to misdirection attention from himself.
Charles Allen Lechmere is the best suspect to date.
It's possible too that he went low after cuz he afraid he'd get targeted by the ripper hence why he also changed his name
He may have been using the cross name at pickfords where he worked, a man by the name of Charles Cross ran over a young kid with his horse and cart in 1876 and that person also worked for Pickfords and if that man was our JTR suspect he had been using the name for at least 12 years before the ripper crimes
Is there a reason my comment correcting an error you made (politely & professionally) is not showing, after having it appear then disappear the 1st time upon refresh, & then the 2nd time (re-done because I thought perhaps there was a "glitch" or something) not showing up at all? Just curious.
....and now my comment to a person who also was correcting the error, thanking them for doing so, is now gone upon refresh? I kept the text of what I initially wrote. Nothing about it was unprofessional.
RUclips itself erases comments. It can be due to a word used. It’s hard to tell but it’s often not the fault of the content creator especially if it’s instant
Charles Allen Lechmere (introduced in this video as Charles Cross) was most likely the ripper but we will never truly know
PN was mutilated,he would have blood/guts. There’s no other evidence pointing to him.
April has 30 days not 31
1st of may then
What do you mean “almost caught”? He was killed by Jonathan Joestar using hamon
What is that?

5:26 The Ripper slashed their necks from right to left so the blood didn’t splash on him.
I 💘 this show!!!
And i thought jack the ripper was never caught
At 2:43 you say august 6th but graphic says April 6th…just pointing that out actually it happens a few times in this video.
Human error
unbelievable... if the aorta was cut, that man should have easily been able to spot the blood right away, even with just a match -_-
Well if it is very dark you won't see certain colors, especially red. You can read a book next to a dim campfire but you can't see dark nuances of colors well. Your eyes have rods to detect light and cones to detect colors, an object that's a few feet away won't be reflecting enough light to activate the rods and the cones are fairly insensitive to light so won't detect the color if the light is too dim.
The light is already dim when reaching the body and most of the photons are absorbed by the dark blood very little reflect and make it back to your eyes. And .if you have a bright match between you and the blood it's like being in a bright room trying to see in the pitch black garden you won't see a thing the match completely blinds you
@@alexisjuillard4816 he didn't have to actually *see* the blood. with such a cut, there would have been a big puddle of blood and the man would surely have stepped into it. blood is also smeary, viscous and generally a lot different from water... and if he didn't noticed right away, someone in the pub should have immediately when he stepped inside, leaving red shoeprints all over the place...
edit: maybe the story in the video is just incorrect or inflated. especially the "i thought it could be my wife" part.
They were dead when throat s were cut. Snuffed them out first
If the police is Armstrong: making the mother of all omelette here Jack!! Can't fret over every eggs!!!!
I saw Jack at SteakNshake the other day
The man who found the first body was most likely Jack the Ripper
Thank you! I think so, too
Nah I highly doubt cross was the ripper the most likely suspect is Joseph Barnett the ex of Mary Jane Kelly
@@НатальяПарванчук same, also this might not be true. but through research, I have found out that Jack the ripper had something to do with the killings
and then jack died, off to fight Heracles
And won
Guys i think you should do the face behind the voice or something
i saw a documentary about all possible killers, 1 was from the Royal family but never proved
3:39 4:10 you made a mistake on the date. You say august but write April
I saw this vid and just realized how simple it would have been to catch him:-
Ask people on local clubs if they had known a man who was a butcher/surgeon and had not drunk on the days when these incidents took place and was single.
Yep, but the technology and ways to catch a killer were different back then.
@@user-cd1yj9bw9j but there was no technology back then 😭
DNA evidence revealed that Jack The Ripper was, a Polish Jewish 23 year old barber. He was hired as such in a London hospital where his father worked... Barbers back in the Victorian era, were members of the surgical guild. They knew human anatomy, and had surgical skills. They would perform surgical, and dental procedures. The red and white signage of a barber came about, because of the blood soaked white towels, hung outside the shop to dry.
That's an interesting postulation, did the science of DNA even exist back then ? I think not.
How many people touched that shawl where the DNA was found in the 100+ years before it was tested, also the DNA found was mitochondrial DNA which is only used to exclude suspects not implicate them
@@jamesbarbour8400 forensic science was in it's infancy back then so even if they knew DNA existed they couldn't have extracted it nor tested for it
He could have been a John. Doesnt prove he was the killer.
You're saying August, but the calendar thing says April.
Guess we know who he is now lol
Jack the Rabbi
Very simple He either died or was incarcerated for another crime. That's why the murders stopped.
Or the last mutilation satisfied him. Don't believe they never stop
Key word "Almost"
Jojo's bizarre adventure fans already know how he died ( he never got caught by the police though)
She consumed cheese and potatoes?...You mean Fish and Potatoes.
jack the ripper found the first body
According to what we know now, the authorities must have protected him and they surely know. It was probably their strategy to get people off the streets and those that died were collateral
You keep saying August but it was April
he was never caught because he was from the family line of count draco, a forefather of prince charles
August 30th, not April 30th
I wouldn't want to go walking around Whitechapel today either.
No way can anyone take out organs in pitch black at night within 2-3 minutes, This was all done in the Morgue?
Charles Allen Lechmere.
