Who was Jack The Ripper ? - debate

Who do you think the real jack the ripper was ?

Personally i like James Maybrick for the culprit, what do you think and why ?

POSTED BY BILL

I strongly feel this man is Jack The Ripper. I watched a program about a
cold case detective Ed Norris looking into the ripper. James Kelly fits
the bill. He even confessed to it. I'll post a short video of the
program on sunday when I'm able to post it. Fasinating!


James Kelly

Birth: Apr. 20, 1860
Preston
Lancashire, England
Death: Sep. 17, 1929
Crowthorne
Berkshire, England

Broadmoor Patient and Jack the Ripper suspect.

He was the illegitimate son of 15 year old Sarah Kelly. From there he is raised by Teresa (Sarah's mom).

Left school at the age of 13 and gets a job as an upholsterer.

He
marries Sarah Brider in 1883, but things go bad for James Kelly. He is
fired from his upholsterer job because his boss says "he was obviously
not right in the head". He then takes his anger out on Sarah claiming
that she is cheating on him with men on the street. Then on June 21st,
1883 he murders his wife by stabbing her in the neck.

The courts
find him guilty and sentence him to hang, but his boss comes forward and
tells them about his mental problems. He is examined by doctors and
they conclude he is mentally in-sane.

From 1883 to 1888 he stays
at Broadmoor Asylum. According to records on Kelly, he begins playing
the vioin in the asylum band and worked at the asylum garden.

But
on January 23rd, 1888 he and a fellow prisoner escape from Broadmoor,
it was later determend that Kelly had made a model of the key so that he
could open his cell gate.

From August through November of 1888,
the murders of Jack the Ripper are commetted in London. After the
grusome murder of Mary Jane Kelly (no relations to James Kelly) the
police start looking for James Kelly as a possible suspect in the Ripper
killings, but they never find him.

Thirty-nine years after his
escape, James Kelly turns himself back to Broadmoor. By now he is in
poor health and his nearly deaf, but he writes out a confession that he
had been on a "warpath" against women since his escape from Broadmoor.

James Kelly dies two years later at the Asylum.

In
the Discovery Channel program called "Jack the Ripper in America", a
retired NYPD detective named Ed Norris believes James Kelly was Jack the
Ripper and that he commetted Jack the Ripper style murders in America.
Ed proves that Kelly did come to America in 1890 and there were unsolved
cases of prostitutes murdered in the 1890's that were simular to Jack
the Ripper and also in the confession of Kelly, he addmitted being in
those cities.


Burial:
Broadmoor Asylum Cemetery
Crowthorne
Berkshire, England

Thats an interesting theory bill, i look forward to the video hun xxx

This is part 5 of 6. I can't, yet, find part 6. The best convincing evidence is in these 2 last parts. I'll keep searching.

omg bill, i cant believe i dont recall the full history, i know he travelled frequently but i cant remember for the life of me reading that he travelled to the USA.

So i just googled it and i found this ...

There is no evidence to suggest the Whitechapel Murderer ever came to America.

One suspect, James Tumblety, was an American but does not match any of the eyewitness descriptions of any of the men seen with any of the victims. He has been discounted as a suspect by serious students of the case.

A second suspect, James Kelley, has also been put forth as the killer but he was in America at the time of the Francis Cole slaying in 1891. Further, Kelley was an upholsterer and did not possess even the small amount of medical knowledge that the killer clearly demonstrated he had. Additionally, Kelley was a known paranoid schizophrenic and many of his rants have been discounted as they lack corroboration and are largely the ravings of a delusional paranoid.
