Jack the
Ripper in America
There were many suspects in the Jack the Ripper murders over the years. What are the evidences that support the claim that James Kelly was Jack the Ripper? If you are a rival detective, how do you eliminate all the evidence that you've identified in the documentary?
Jack the Ripper is a serial
killer in 1888 where until now people do not find the real identity of him even
though there are over one hundred Jack the Ripper suspect have been proposed. Based on
the documentary Jack the Ripper in America, Ed Norris which is a retired
detective, he believe that Jack the Ripper is a person names James Kelly. He finds
several evidences that show Kelly was the killer.
The first evidence is Kelly
was murdered his wife in 1883 less in one month of his marriage by stabbing his
wife in the neck. This is because he found that his wife has another man. Nevertheless,
he doing so because he was not in a good emotion where people when they are
angry they will lost their control and do something beyond their thinking.
The next evidence is Kelly
was committed to the Broadmoor Asylum, and he was escaped on 1888 from there by
using his own key. However, there is no evidence that shows Kelly was in
Whitechapel since the police could not find him for almost 40 years.
The third evidence is Kelly has worked as a
furniture upholsterer which this job requires hardiness with a knife. However,
as we know Ripper was an expert since he was using the equipment that is
related to operation and he knew about human’s organ where Ripper must be
someone who is knowledgeable about human body since Kelly does not have it.
In conclusion, James Kelly is not the Jack
the Ripper because the evidences do not really show that he was the murder.
