  • In this video, we explore the events of the night of 29th - 30th of September, 1888, when, after an absence of several weeks, the Whitechapel murderer returned and carried out two murders in less than an hour.
    We follow the two victims, Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes through what would prove to be the last night of their lives; learn of various witnesses who claimed to have seen them in the company of men in the minutes leading up to their deaths; learn how their bodies were discovered; and join the police in the aftermath of the murders, as they fan out into the streets to hunt the perpetrator of the crimes.

    Another great video, thank you!
    The more I watch your videos or read about this topic (currently in the middle of John Malcolm's book after watching the recent documentary), the more I think the police at the times tried their best and were probably less awful than at first glance.

      They knew who it was and couldn't take a lot of credit due to not being able to hang the bad guy! So anti-climactic in the end.

    If you believe that both of the murders that happened that night, were committed by the same hand, then this is essentially where the killer reveals himself. After he kills Elizabeth Stride he is interrupted, whether you think it was by Schwartz or Diemschütz, and he obviously knows that he has been interrupted. For all he knows the interrupter has gone looking for a policeman. At this stage all reason dictates that he retreats home, and hopes to complete his ghastly desire another day. Instead he goes looking for another victim, and at this point he is making it up as he goes along. No need to ask whether he is a planner, if you believe that he committed both murders, because you already have your answer. Having killed his second victim, he cuts away a piece of her apron, and casually tosses it aside two blocks away. This is clearly not a man who is careful to avoid leaving evidence.

      There is one other possibility: the killer was interrupted, but not by Schwartz or Diemschutz. There were a dozen or so people in the club next to the killing, and a fair amount of sound coming from them, so it could be that something about that spooked him, or the possibility that someone could exit the club at any moment. Nonetheless, I agree that he probably didn't do much planning.

      He was no doubt greatly frustrated at not bring able to satisfy himself, Peter Sutcliffe suffered in a similar manner, almost cutting one victims head off with a peice of glass when he couldn't fined a bank note traceable to him. I believe the killer was desperate to find a substitute wherever he could, possibly enroute to his home, possibly not. However, this was definitely the double event.

    According to Randy Williams; Louis Deimschutz, Isaac Kozebrodski and Samuel Friedman were working together to carry out these killings. I was skeptical at first but he backs the theory up with evidence. One of which was is a letter that was sent after the Kelly murder to the wife of the landlord. In that letter, the writer states: “Don’t alarm yourself. I am going to do another, but this time it will be a mother and daughter.” What's striking about it is that at the foot of the letter, the writer draws a diagram of three people near a victim lying on her back. One is drawn holding a knife over the victim, the other one near the feet of the victim holding something like an axe and the third one is standing against what appears to be a window. If it were simply a hoax letter (as many believe) then why would the sender refer to himself in the singular "I", yet draw three people in the letter? The police nor the press stated there could be an accomplice, much less a gang of three. Therefore, the letter must be genuine. The actual copy of this letter is in the book: Jack the Ripper: Letters from Hell by Stewart P Evans, Keith Skinner.

      There were hundreds of purported 'Jack The Ripper' letters written and sent in by people all over London and beyond at that time even years after the JTR murders up into the 1910's and 1920's. I read the Jack the Ripper: Letters from Hell book but as I recall Evan's and Skinner's conclusion was that none of the letters collected in that book were genuine, with the possible exception of the From Hell letter. As to why that letter you mention had a drawing of three people in it? A large chunk of the letters reprinted in that book were.... I won't say creative but were unusual correspondence that were often written on a whim IMHO by some disturbed individuals who likely got a sick laugh out of what they could come up with.
      In short I don't consider any of those letters as ironclad evidence in The Ripper killings, but they are interesting, Not to mention genuinely disturbing even in 2024.

      the type of killer the ripper was is not common I find it hard to believe that there were multiple post mortem mutilators targeting the same class in the same area I think too much is made of the discrepancies sometimes
      I think his killings don't have that many anyway , and there have been plenty of serial killers who have differences between victims

    So Watkins had to get close and shine his bullseye lantern onto the dark shape to find out it was a human body, but somehow the ripper managed to extract the uterus and half a kidney in the same darkness? Really hard to believe the mainstream version.

      ​@@davidmoser3535Richard's recent interview with a Ripperologist mentioned that once ones eyes become accustomed to the darkness it's surprising what can be seen, so the killer may well of had that benefit. P.C. Watkins had probably been using his lamp throughout his beat and had also passed under numerous street lights, so his vision was almost certainly compromised.

      Firstly, the Ripper was a lot closer to Eddows than the Policeman was when he shone his lamp,secondly,then the lights off in your house next time it's dark. At first you will only see pitch black, but after a min or so you'll be able to see quite a lot.

      No but Kosminski sure did. The case is closed. The Police in 1888 knew they had their man, and we now know they were right.

    It amazes me how JTR was able to elude capture after commiting these brutal murders. It makes me believe that he's responsible for more than the five murders attributed to him. JTR was an efficient killer. Though I do wonder what made him wait for over a month to murder again. A wonderful video as always. May Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes rest peacefully 💙

    Elizabeth stride was murdered in exactly the same way as the other members of the canonical 5 . Only difference she wasn't mutilated. But there was people coming in and out of the club all the time. Its highly unlikely hed have had the time . If the police of the time thought she was a victim. Thats enough for me .

      1931 Frederick Best admitted that he wrote the "Dear Boss" Letter. And handwriting analysis of a sample of Frederick Best's hand writing was examined by Elaine Quigley a graphology expert and she concluded that that the sample of Frederick Best's hand writing matched perfectly the "Dear Boss" Letter.

    I don't think Stride was a ripper victim and I have held that opinion for 45 years since I began to study this case. It's possible she was killed over a debt or the fact that she wasn't going to pay it but her murder is a topic in itself.
