Chief Inspector John George Littlechild Born December 21 st, February 3 rd 1882 was promoted to Chief Inspector. In September of 1913 he writes a letter stating that suspects someone as a ripper suspect.

:My Theory on: “Jack The Ripper”

:David Cohen: This is because: He has all the signs, anger, and personality of the Ripper that was being portrayed. He didn’t like women at all, especially the prostitutes, and they were the main trigger. When he was not contained in the asylum all the murders took place at this time. When he was in the asylum all murders had stopped because he was held captive. David Cohen lived in Whitechapel where all the murders were located around.

He had a violent temper and had harmed other patients in the asylum. He was spotted by many witnesses around the locations and time of the murders.
