Jack+the+Ripper

Who is Jack the Ripper? Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer, infamous for killing at least five people in the Whitechapel district of London in the late 1800s. The problem is that he was never caught and no one knows for sure who he was. Some say that he is multiple people in a gang others think he is a just another blood thirsty monster. All of the murders were in the same neighborhood of London, close to one another. Most of his victims were female prostitutes. Emma Elizabeth Smith was killed on the 3rd of April 1888, Rose Mylett on 20th of December 1888, Alice Makenzie on 17th July 1889, a female torso was found on the 10th of September 1889, and finally Frances Coles on 13th of February 1891. Jack the Ripper was thought to take trophies from each of his victims. Many people believe that Jack the Ripper was a doctor of some sort, or at least someone who have been someone who has been educated in the topic of human anatomy, due to the fact he gruesomely mutilated his victims. One time they didn’t even find the rest of the body to the person he killed, they only discovered the torso. The way that the body was cut apart forensic scientists were able to determine that they knew the anatomy of the human body. Because of a lack of evidence, the case was forced to go cold. They never found who it really was, but they were able to narrow down the suspects. Someday they may reopen the case if enough evidence is found. But for now the case still remains unsolved.
