Jack The Ripper
The Whitechapel Murderer, Leather Apron

2. Background
In the mid 19th century an influx of Irish and Jewish immigrants lead to a social outcry of nativism, racism, and sexism.
At the same time poor economic conditions lead many women to prostitution.
Whitechapel housed many of the immigrants and was pointed to as a slum of immorality, even before the murders began

3. Suspects
Many people were named as suspects in both the original investigation and modern speculation
Suggestions that the murders were committed by a doctor, based on the efficiency of organ removal
Suggestions both that the murderer was a local resident and that he was an aristocrat who came to the area
Most of these caused by social predijuce

4. Suspects Cont. List of suspects Prince Albert Victor Joseph Barnett
Alfred Napier Blacchard
W. H. Bury
Lewis Carroll

Ect.

5. Dr. T Neill Cream 1850 – 1892 Oldest of 8
Impregnated Flora Elizabeth Brooks, and almost killed her during surgery
Married her
The body of a young Chambermaid found in his office in Canada, he was not charged
Killed a railway worker when he became suspicious of the affair he was having with his wife. Was imprisioned
Would have gotten away had he not ordered the body exumed

6. Dr. T Neill Cream Cont.
Supposed to serve a life sentence, but was let out early for “Good Behavior”
Poisoned Alice Marsh, and Emma Shrivell
Would have gotten away had he not accused his neighbor
And started taking people on tours of the scene
Last words were “I am Jack…”
Apparently served a prison sentence in Sydney while in court in Canada
Theories supporting his guilt use this as evidence of him using doubles to have an alibi during the time of the murders
Generally poisoned victims, so doesn’t fit the Modus Operandi of Jack

7. Prince Albert Victor
1866 – 1892
Reported as a ladies man, though all reports having anything to do with him seem to vary
Said to be “Slow”
Several health problems including mild deafness and a thin neck
According to one theory he caught Syphilis, which drove him insane
Theories largely disproven due to lack of evidence

8. Jill The Ripper
Main support of this is the testimony of one of the witnesses seeing someone in the victims clothes when all forensic evidence points to the victim being dead long before
This is supported with the idea that she could be a midwife, which would allow her to be seen with blood on her clothes and at all hours of the night

9. Info 5 confirmed killings, as well as many unconfirmed
Stable, all in white chappel
