Hi all,
Just a point for some discussion I hope. The difficulty in determining the actual victims of Jack I feel has to do with a misconception. That being that serial killers kill the same way all the time. The victims that had the obvious similarities in wounds....throat slashed through the major artery, abdominal mutilation....were attributed to the Ripper due to their physical similarities only it seems. And others excluded for the same reason.
Since no-one has ever been able to ascertain the actual motives for the killings, or find any link that directly identifies the 5 victims as specifically targeted, I believe that it is safe to assume that our Jack did the 5 and likley more.
Serial killers, which these murders were definitely committed by, kill in all sorts of ways.... like Ted Bundy,strangulation, knives... or BTK, suffocation, hanging...or other well documented cases. Whatever they seek by doing these acts it doesnt seem to realte to any one specific method of taking the life, so much as it seems to be the murder itself...power, sex, the reasons or motives vary from individual as well.
Who is to say that the individual responsible for most of the more heinous, and vicious crimes of that fall in 1888 wasnt JTR?
Im asking for a way I can reconcile the argument for the 5 only....since we have no motive, how can you exclude any of the more angry murders as being his? Like Mary Kelly for example, how is she categorized as a known victim when she was much more mutilated than the other 4 and was murdered indoors, over hours?
My theory is that many vile murders of that fall and early winter were Jacks, including the torso, the Pinchin St murders and Martha Tabram as well. You have a complete sociopath, killing in any manner he can as time allows,.... why only 5?
I also think it was Dr T.....
thanks all, please let me know any thoughts.
Cheers,
Michael R |
