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.
