Improved Essays
In London, England, by the Thames River, where women were found dead, not just any women, prostitutes. What made these murders peculiar? They were all strangled, by forceful-throat penetration, stripped of their clothes left in the night for the next pedestrian to find the cold lifeless body. Not just in the river or near the river but in the town as well. There were eight possible victims, only six confirmed by the killer nicknamed "Jack the Stripper", four possible suspects, with Mungo Ireland as the lead suspect in the "Hammersmith Nude Murder case." Sadly this case was never solved leaving three theories following behind making it difficult for guaranteed assurance of the culprit.

Police claim to not know he had been living there because he had changed his name. Neil Mikins, author of "Who Was Jack the Stripper", noticed something odd during his investigation after his spinal surgery. He noticed a self believed non-coincidental movement with Jones, within three years he noticed Harold moved by and lived near every claimed victim of "Jack the Stripper." Harold also worked with sheet metal and used industrial paint spray in his work. Every victim was stored the same way Neil suspected Jones would have. Though, Jack kept his victims teeth, Jones kept the handkerchiefs. To conclude Neil's theory, Harold Jones once again moved by one of the victims Bridget O'Hara just two streets down. She went missing on Jones 58th birthday, believed to be his last sick present bestowed by himself before he died. The year of death for Harold was

    Why would a successful football star throw his life away? OJ Simpson, who previously and still continually accused of murdering Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, was an American Football Star Player, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1968. Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were both murdered outside of Nicole’s condo, and many believe it was OJ, but was it really? In the controversial court case of OJ Simpson, the verdict correctly appointed him innocent and acquitted him of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman because his arthritis would have made it very difficult to commit murder, evidence proved him innocent, and his son had issues with knifes and continues to experience this. OJ Simpson, known to have arthritis and many other sports injuries,…

    This shows Smith’s death was not regarded as extraordinary, because in “1887, two hundred brothels in East London were closed…render[ing] thousands of women homeless, hence vulnerable to attack.” The next day, an article in Lloyd 's Weekly News added to the case. The article stated that Smith said on her way to the hospital that “she had been shockingly maltreated by a number of men and robbed of all the money she had.” There was no witness to the attack to corroborate this; however, a few people did see Smith early that morning “talking to a man in a black dress, wearing a white neckerchief.” This statement was one of the few witness accounts the press recorded for this case; the evidence pointing to a well-dressed…

    Peter William Sutcliffe otherwise known as ‘The Yorkshire Ripper ' was arrested on January 1st, 1981 after a murderous spree which spanned five years and claimed the lives of 13 women and attempting to murder a further seven (see appendix for details of victims). The case engulfed the nation as one of the most brutal in modern history since that of ‘Jack the Ripper ' in the 1800 's hence why the media adopted the term ‘Yorkshire ripper ' when addressing the case. Although known for the heinous crimes and number of them the case is also infamous for the failings of the West Yorkshire Police force in its hunt of Sutcliffe. The tension throughout West Yorkshire left neighbour suspecting neighbour and women afraid to be out at night alone. Despite the efforts of the police force, it was a standard patrol with an experienced officer who was training another that caught Sutcliffe and brought an end to his spree.…
