The Whitechapel Murderer, Leather Apron Jack The Ripper The Whitechapel Murderer, Leather Apron

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

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

Suspects Cont. List of suspects Prince Albert Victor Joseph Barnett Alfred Napier Blacchard W. H. Bury Lewis Carroll David Cohen Dr. T. Neill Cream Frederic Deeming Montague John Druitt Carl Feignenbaum Ect.

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

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

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

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

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