There have been absurd Ripper 'suspects' including Jill the Ripper, Lewis Carroll, and Prince Albert, a Russian, an American, a fishmonger, and a delivery driver who just happens to have precise anatomical knowledge. One thing is certain: imagination rules.
@@JackTheRipperTours I remember feeling similarly queasy when John Richardson was hacking away at his boot IN THE DARK on the back step at Hanbury Street!
Nice account of the Batty Street incident Richard. Of course I suspect it is actually important, for me its the description of the profession of the man leaving the shirt thats interesting, but thats another story
Yes, Richard Jones is the go to with anything on Whitechapel around that time. Often seen in documentaries going back over 20 years on TV and later online. Always look forward to his content.
it must have been a very difficult time for the police what with weirdos writing letters and people reporting seeing suspicious men everywhere. this probably very much hindered the apprehension of the murderer! i was just wondering why he disappeared. was he hunted down by vigilantes who then decided not to report killing him for their own protection - or was he just finally done away with because he was constantly in a bad area of London looking for victims, was robbed and killed, and thrown somewhere to hide his body, and not reported missing because he was a loner and an insignificant person?
Interesting. You’ve given me a fact I did not know about and will look into it. The last letter from the resident is interesting too. Although I still suspect it to be tumblety. I know he was Amaercan but his skill as a chameleon can’t be ignored and he could well have put on the accent. (I cannot of course prove this) but after his arrest and went back to the states did he not have an English accent? In February 1889, he gave an interview to The New York World and the reporter stated, "Dr. Tumblety talks in a quick, nervous fashion, with a decidedly English accent, I think he could easily have changed his accent.I still think Tumblety could have put on a German accent.
@@walkawaycat431 Tumblety is certainly of interest but I agree with you Lechmere seems to have had a route to work that is suspiciously consistent with all of the murders. And it is peculiar that he did not want the body he 'found' to have it's clothing disturbed. Weird to think he wasn't even on the radar until about 20 years ago.
I think it was tumbletee as well. But he was working with maybrick. After all he couldn't have killed Kelly since he was in police custody at the time. Maybrick fit the description to a tee. Im pretty sure they were working together.
In my opinion it wasn’t the name Lipski that was called out but Lizzie but then I don’t believe Elizabeth Stride was a Ripper victim.Great videos by the way.
Hiya Richard, Me and my friend Michael, are coming to London next October, 2024, is travelling on the underground dangerous after dark, I'm scared if were going to get mugged on the Underground or buses.
Hi Paul. On the whole the underground is safe. There are always a lot of people on it. There are pick pockets who work it, but just make sure you keep all your valuables tucked away and all should be fine.
An important bit of context to events such as this is people in Whitechapel were both terrified and out for blood, and along with selling newspapers stories like this functioned to put a bullseye on someone who could have easily fallen to mob justice.
Okay, so he kills Stride and cuts through an alley to his lodgings on Batty St. He gives the landlady a bloodstained shirt and has changed his clothes. If true, he couldn't have killed Eddowes on the evening of this "double event."
yes, he could by hopping into a horse driven carriage parked a short distance away. the next crime scene was only five minutes away by horse and carriage. he had already scouted out the crime scenes and victims one week ahead of time. and had memorized the police officers' patrol times with a pocket watch. so, he already knew exactly when his windows of opportunity would occur. his change of clothes was waiting in the carriage, he then ran to Batty Street to drop off the bloody clothes asking the landlady to wash them, then he ran back to the carriage and sped off to the next crime scene. everything had been meticulously planned one week in advance. his main method was that he would kill his victims inside of his carriage and then place their bodies in a precise way after they had been drained of their blood using a transfusion kit similar to the one often mentioned in Bram Stoker's horror novel DRACULA.
I don't believe Stride to be a ripper victim but could the "German" be Aaron Kosminski and this is how he became known to police? Aaron did after all emigrate from Germany
as the knife used on Stride n Eddowes were different if they were killed this would explain how the same killer killed both with different knifes were use
yes, you are correct. the killer was very clever and did use different knives to baffle the coroner and to fool the police and other investigators. these were the four main knives used: 1. traditional hunting knife, 2. fish fillet knife, 3. doctor's surgery scalpel, and 4. a Liston knife. a kukri knife was supposedly discarded near one of the crime scenes as well. to assume that different knives meant different killers is possible, but even though different knives were used, most of Jack's victims had been drained of their blood before being placed at various crime scenes to be found. not to mention that there were several copycat killers. i don't have time to explain the details of a very complex theory based upon various intricate facts. Stride was killed with a hunting knife. Eddowes was killed by having the blood drained out of her while she was in Jack The Ripper's carriage stoned on opium and laudanum. possibly chloroformed. after all of the blood was drained from her body, the killer then placed her at the crime scene, and quickly performed surgery on her using both a scalpel and a Liston knife. Stride wouldn't get into his carriage which he had parked nearby. so, Jack was forced to kill her in the alley, and then drag the body into the small parking lot behind the Jewish party hall. i'm guessing he had intended to plant the body there anyhow in order to arouse anti-Jewish suspicions. Jack The Ripper was an anti-Semite in addition to being a misogynist. this is all that i have time to explain. most of Jack The Ripper's victims had been drained of blood using a portable blood transfusion kit similar to the one frequently mentioned in Bram Stoker's horror novel DRACULA. they were operated upon after their blood had been drained into an empty whiskey jug or what not inside of Jack's carriage. then the bodies would be carefully placed at the crime scene where they were intended to be found.
This narrator has a voice that reminds me of tv years ago. Its perfect for this channel
Richard Jones
Jack the ripper expert
We all love Richard Jones 👏
Legend
He's just wonderful
That's nice of you to say. Thank you.
When it comes to everything JTR, Richard is GOATed.
He’s awesome.
Also he was the ripper, that’s how he knows so much.
Thank you Mr. Jones for yet another excellent debunk of JTR myths. Impressive research and wonderful narration as always.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
I want to say that this is the most informative piece about the Batty St. Lodger I have heard yet.
I did the Ripper guided tour several years ago but this wasn't mentioned. A trip down Batty St should definitely be included imho.
I'm sure it should Mike.
Excellent coverage. I have always been fascinated with this story.
Many thanks!
This is so informative. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great. I've been binge watching your old vids. Happy to get a new one 👍
Glad you like them!

Doctor Tumblety
Didn’t know about the details in the back story. Just that I remembered Tumblety supposedly being the lodger. Thanks for covering this story.
My pleasure.
I really enjoyed this. Never been made aware of Batty Street before. You have a lovely voice for narration.
I absolutely cringed at the corn cutting incident!
Great video again, thank you.
I also cringed whilst reading it Adele! I was going to feature some footage of corn cutting, but thought better of it!

Thanks, Steve.
Can’t wait for a certain Ripperologist to go big on, “It was Charles Lechmere dropping of his laundry after visiting his mammy in Berner’s Street.”
Shots fired!
Comments like those of David Keating do absolutely nothing to advance our understanding of what took place at that terrible time in Whitechapel.
thanks i love this narrator.
Yes, Richard Jones is the go to with anything on Whitechapel around that time. Often seen in documentaries going back over 20 years on TV and later online. Always look forward to his content.
@@paulanthony5274Richard Jones was JTR confirmed
That's very kind of you.
I heard that too. The book will be out next year with the case against him!
Fascinating stuff.
I wonder if DC Thomson got the model for Ma Broon from the laundress at 3:54!
So, this must be the inspiration for the movie The Lodger and its remake, The Man in the Attic
Love these jack the ripper stories👍
Love your videos Richard I watch and re watch your videos top work 👍👍🇮🇪
Very kind of you, Darren.
@@JackTheRipperTours just love the way you recite your research very well done ♥️👍🇮🇪
Good work as always 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Another great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
It does make you wonder if police did unknowingly let the killer go.
Perhaps it was someone they knew and didn't suspect because of it.
I still think it was Tony Blair using a Tardis
I wouldn't put it past him with that evil grin. As he was strangling them uttering "Call me Tony"
it must have been a very difficult time for the police what with weirdos writing letters and people reporting seeing suspicious men everywhere. this probably very much hindered the apprehension of the murderer!
i was just wondering why he disappeared. was he hunted down by vigilantes who then decided not to report killing him for their own protection - or was he just finally done away with because he was constantly in a bad area of London looking for victims, was robbed and killed, and thrown somewhere to hide his body, and not reported missing because he was a loner and an insignificant person?
Apparently, there was a Masonic Lodge on Dorset Street at one point (it's recorded as Dorcett Street, Whitechapel).
Really well narrated
Great stuff! Very interesting. Many thanks :)
It doesn't sound like the media has changed much. "Never let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory".
Thank you. Enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it

"A German". The entire royal family at the time
I heard the Batty Street Lodger was an American who fled a lodging house in Flower and Dean Street... for some reason.
Brilliant very good episode
Pleased you enjoyed it, Robert. Thank you for saying so.
That writer, Patricia Cornwell (Cornwall?) wrote that book in which she believes it was that artist, Walter Sickert.
I read it . I was convinced. Now, a couple of years later, I think it was Dan Cooper, and he got away in a silver DeLorean...
I also read that book.
I have the book and watched the documentary. I was sure as well , but that was around 10 or so years ago . I don't think it was now , he was too old .
Papers are there to sell, especially in the Victorian era. “You cannot believe what you read” is a well known saying.
That’s fascinating!
Many thanks. Very interesting!!
Another great story 👏

Wondeful video thank you
Thankyou Richard 😊
You are very welcome
Bravo Mr. Jones!
excellent story telling - the English certainly know how to tell a tale . . . 😇
I saw a show all about how a German sailor named Carl Feinbig was the White Chapel Murderer.

🦇🦇🦇 the Batty Street Lodger was Jack The Ripper!!
Was he a Batty boy , i though that was Tumbelty 😂
A serial killer isn't going to launder a blood stained shirt, he is going to destroy it
I wonder if this was the inspiration for the Hitchcock film The Lodger.
Why aren't there more subscribers on this channel?

Stop the presses! Man gets laundress to wash his shirt!
👍as usual 😀
What’s everyone’s thoughts on Tumblety these days has he been ruled out ?
the media has never changed whether by rumor or the written word. 😒🤥
but, whatever is going on, do have a good day :) 🌷🌱
I don't believe Stride to be a ripper victim but could the "German" be Aaron Kosminski and this is how he became known to police? Aaron did after all emigrate from Germany
Kosminski was actually from Poland, then part of the Russian Empire.
Dr. Tumblety was the 22 batty street lodgers, dr. Tumblety was Jack the ripper
Mary Kelly had an outside toilet - he crept into her place while she was in there.
Name one suspect who was actually at the crime scene, everything else is bunkum.
Letchmere
The news media contradicting itself? Seems somethings never change.
Thicke and white, detectives sound more like a comedy act
🥂👍
Was he a Polish j-w?
Where did the victims go to the toilet - down dark alleyways where the police couldn't see them and who was waiting for them? Simple.
Batty st.. lmao!.. 😂..
No!

Charles (Cross) Lechmere. He was seen alone with Polly Nichols' body on Buck's Row.
Either HH Holmes or tumblety.His knives and confession box is in an attic in London...... somewhere....
Nope. Charles Allen Lechmere is the best suspect by far.
Batty man
H H Holmes
I am jack the ripper. I admit it okay. But let me ve because im very VERY old now. Sorry about my past doings. 🗡
Royal family cover up
Yes HH HOLMES was the ripper. Who stayed there.
He never left America. Absurd suspect.
