A Look Back at Jack the Ripper Case
One of the Most Infamous Serial Killer Cases Ever
Mary Ann Nicholas returning home with other prostitutes but along the way she met a tall dark man. It should be pointed out that Mary Jane Kelley's murder is so different and she is so younger than the other murder victims. Is it possible that the Ripper chose prostitutes because he was homosexual?
Conditions of the Victims
The victims were found with their throat mutilated, intestines cut out of their body and female organs removed. Was this a personal gesture of anger towards women for something in Jack's childhood or something that had gone wrong with a personal relationship? Jack was certainly the first of cold blooded serial killers to stalk the streets of London.
According to doctors who have studied the case intensely, the precision of the incisions were done by someone who has studied medicine. There is a theory of royal conspiracy because in those days such conspiracies for the royal were carried out by doctors and other dignitaries. Word was there was a relation between the son of the Queen and an ex-prostitute. Perhaps a series of prostitutes were killed in order to throw the Constables off track from the royalty.
Queries Surrounding His Possible Identity
There is a headstone in Toowong Cemetery that many believe to be the Ripper, though no formal name is mentioned on the tombstone. Inside the grave is convicted killer, rogue imposter, backwater quack and man of many identities, Walter Thomas Porriott.
To further support the allegations, Steve Wilson. Porriot's Australian based great grandson, publically claimed in 1997 that "he had little doubt that his great grandfather was the infamous serial killer." According to Wilson, he hated prostitutes and spent his entire life marrying women in order to take all of their assets before leaving them.
Records show that Porriot was in England when all five murders were committed and murders ceased when he sailed to Australia in 1888 as reported by Top News.
Movie Surrounding Times and Murders
There is a movie, From Hell which portrays the story surrounding details of the relationship of the Prince and the prostitute which may have led to Jack the Ripper murders. Johnny Depp is the star character. This movie portrays the enigmatic serial killings by the Ripper that were committed during a ten week span during the Fall of 1888. The murders took place in the upscale Whitechapel area of London.
Ebert & Roeper give it two thumbs up as brilliant on review.
