George Chapman, Aaron Kosminski ,and Dr. John Williams. A lot of people thought he study the human anatomy because of the clean cuts he left on his victims. It was said to believe he committed suicide by a bridge. All the suspects have one or two things that could connect to the killings of the murders.

George Chapman was a barber during the Whitechapel murders.(jack rip whitechapel) He was hanged for killing his three wives.Which he poisoned. He used a compound of tartar emetic for the poisoning. Many people rule him out of being the murder because he used poisoning over straight clean cuts. An author wrote a book on him said he would put him on top for all the suspects.Just because he didn't really fit the killer's profile. Which gives him a mysterious look. He was one of the top suspects for the detective because of his past.

Aaron was very calm in his time in the asylum. Although this is true there is still more evidence against him like that he had homicidal tendencies because he hated woman.

    The introduction of the documentary opens with a clear outline surrounding the unsolved mystery around the ‘legend ‘of Jack the Ripper and lists all the suspects that were accused at one point in time. It is noted in the documentary that although many people would say that the murderer shouldn’t be focused upon, it has become a huge area of interest for many historians even after nearly an entire century has passed. It particularly focuses on the cartoon type image that was created in the media during that period of time, which emphasises the mystery and sensationalism of this mystery figure in Victorian London. It continues by introducing the journal that was discovered in 1992 and shows the newspaper articles that were published during the time that this document had been discovered. The main words highlighted in these newspaper articles are ‘hoax’ ([1993]…

    Author Peter Fisher proposed John Moses Eppstein as a possible Ripper suspect. Fisher pondered the question of how the Ripper was able to escape blood-stained through the streets of Whitechapel without attracting undue attention. He came to the conclusion that the Ripper wore a cassock over his blood-stained work clothes and was in fact a clergyman. Fisher believed the suspect seen by witness George Hutchinson carrying a parcel contained not a knife or knives as some theorists have believed but in fact a cassock. Fisher also concurred with the press reports at the time which stated that the murders, by their very bestiality, could not have been the work of an Englishman.…

    Seven women (presumably more) were brutally mutilated on the streets of Whitechapel in 1888. They were all women of the lower class, prostitutes, and found themselves alone in the night when the Ripper chose them as his victims. Only eight months elapsed during these gruesome killings, and the case was almost forgotten by the press by the beginning of 1889. In the Whitechapel murders casebook, the last report was written on October 18, 1896 by Detective Chief Inspector Henry Moore, regarding the reception of another “Ripper” letter claiming Jack was returning. Based on his investigation of the correspondence, Moore did not believe the letter to have any connection to the previous letters or merit regarding the Ripper case.…

    The Yorkshire Ripper Hoaxer: case study of Speaker profiling and speaker comparison in Forensic linguistics 1. Introduction “[....] the listener does not necessarily hear what was said, but rather hears their construction of what they think is said; they subconsciously combine the speech signal (the sounds) with prior knowledge of speech, language and context in their own heads (Fraser 2003, cited in Coulthard, et al 2017 p.130). Those words, indirectly, call for reconsideration of distinguishing a voice as a natural task. Coulthard, et al 2017 mentioned in the findings of a study done by Bruce (1958, cited in Fraser 2014) that notwithstanding the fact that they had listened to the same utterances, the participants perception to “masked” words they were listing to, has differed in reaction to key words, such as “weather.” This being said, this paper will not discuss the ability of the lay person to identify a voice.…
