5 suspects Prince Albert Victor The lodger Frederick Bailey Deeming Dr. Thomas Neill Cream Walter Sickert

Prince Albert Victor Not respect by the English public Ladies man who went to many parties. Rumored to may be mildly retarded lower intelligence than normal. One theory=He was suffering from syphilis. The infection may have drove him insane causing him to commit the crime. He was taken to a mental hospital and escaped to commit the Kelly murder and then was locked away again where he died of softening of the brain. All royal records show that he was not in the area during any of the murders. The ripper letters minimally match Albert's style in writing but over all they do not match Abrahamsen a forensic scientist did a study and case to the conclusion that he was a accomplice to the murders

The lodger Very religious, spends his nights out and does not return until early morning. He hated whores He spends his days alone and his nights hunting his prey His father was a doctor and he followed in his footsteps August 7th he returned home late saying his watch was stolen which later was found to be untrue. in the morning the maid found bloodstains on his sheets and noticed he recently washed the cuffs of his shirt. That was the night of Martha Tabram’s murder. He also had a habit of burning his clothes and changing several times throughout the day

Frederick Deeming Married twice and both times his wife and children just disappeared. He told people they left him. His first wife and children were found dead under the floor board's of his house. There throats were slashed. His second wife was found dead under the floor board’s of his next house after he moved out here throat had been slashed also. He was caught and arrested in march of 1892. Rumors began to float that he was seen in area of whitechapel in 1888 and that he had bought knives. While in prison he told inmates he was jack the ripper. He never confessed it to authorities. He had a venereal disease which caused brain seizures and a brain disease which caused his to kill. He was found guilty of the murder of his family and was hanged Monday may 23rd 1892.

Dr. Thomas Neill Cream After he began his career as an abortionist the body of Kate Gardener was found dead in his office with a bottle of chloroform laying next to her. he was not charged with murder. After that me moved his business to Chicago where in august of 1880 Julia Faulkner died mysteriously and he was arrested and charged with murder. He escaped eviction. He murdered his patient Mr.. Scott after he found out that cream was having an affair with Mrs. Scott. He added some strychnine to his medication. Cream was imprisoned after the autopsy revealed there was stychine in Scotts stomach.

Cream Cont… He was sentenced for life but was released for good behavior on July 31, 1891 He met a prostitute who later died of “nux vomica” poisoning. He escaped charges of murder again. He later poisoned two other women he again escaped charges. He was later arrested and found guilty of the death of one women and was hanged November 15 1892.

Walter Sickert His dna was found on many jack the ripper letters and watermarks on the letters matched his letters and the ones sent to police and media But many letter were fake and two women were arrested for it and so far they believe that out of about 600 jack the ripper letters only was really from the murder. He was an artist and had painted pictures of two of the victims Some think his paintings are connected to the whitechapel murders

3 police officials James monro Charles Warren Thomas Arnold

James Monro Was said to be the only one to know the truth about the murders. Not a member of the police at the time of the murders He had a theory on who he believed to be jack the ripper and was upset and had said jack the ripper should have been caught. After his death he left his eldest son papers relating to the case. He told his younger brother that his fathers theory was “a very hot potato” He is the only person said to know his fathers theory on the case. James monro was also said to have taken the truth about the murder’s identity to the grave with him.

Charles Warren 1850 he joined the metropolitan police He was promoted to sergeant in 1852 1863 he was promoted to inspector 1867 promoted to chief inspector 1870 promoted to superintendent 1886 promoted to chief constable Died three years later

Thomas Arnold In 1885 he joined the Metropolitan police but resigns to fight in the Crimean war 1856 he rejoined the police 1888 he was the head of the H division (whitechapel) at the time of jack the ripper murders Retired in 1903 He believed that the murders were not by the same person.

My Theory

Frederick Deeming I believe he was the murder because….. He killed his first wife and four children and hide here dead bodies under the floor boards. He killed and murdered his second wife and also hide her under the floor boards of his second house. He killed all the same way by gashing there throats. The same way the victims of jack the ripper were killed. He was reported being spotted in the area of whitechapel at the time of the murders. He was also seen purchasing knives in that area. While he was in jail he told all his inmates he was jack the ripper but would not confess to authorities.

Cont…. He was very sick suffering from a venereal disease that caused him to have epileptic seizures and a brain disease which caused him to kill.
