Jack the Ripper: Murder Scenes: Real Dialogue and Photos

Product Information

Kelly had been renting a room in a boarding house and had brought a gentleman to her bedroom that evening. Investigators believe that the killer was enraged from his first victim, Stride, and viciously escalated the attack against Eddowes. On the same day, Catherine Eddowes’ body was found, in Mitre Square about 45 minutes after Stride’s body. The leader of the Vigilance Committee, George Lusk, was sent the 'From Hell' letter, along with half a kidney. This isn’t a lot to go on when it comes to identifying someone with 100% certainty in the present day, never mind in the 19th century when biometrics and other forms of police technology were non-existent.

It’s difficult to imagine all of these people were out front and in the backyards of two adjacent apartments in the 30-minute window between Annie seen alive and Annie found dead without a definitive witness. Investigators could not verify who the organ belonged to, but it left the community and investigators shocked. Jack the Ripper is one of the world's most famous serial killers because the identity of the Ripper is still unsolved today.

I send you half the Kidney I took from one women preserved it for you tother piece I fried and ate it was very nice. These testimonies gave the most weight to the Metropolitan Police’s hypothesis that Kelly was killed around 3 or 4 am. Catherine Pickett and her husband, also Miller’s Court neighbors, remember hearing her singing at 12:30 am as well. Not until 1903 did Frenchman Alphonse Bertillon perfect "the first methodical system for documenting a crime scene.According to an eyewitness, police officer William Smith, the two were standing where Stride would be found dead.
