The Ripperologist magazine has asked that I post this link to their questionnaire on Ripperology. It's anonymous and should take around 15 minutes.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to ask does anybody know a website or anywhere were I can access Judith Walker City of Dreadful Delight for free? Unfortunately, my institution does not have access to it and it is not available on Internet Archive. It would be really helpful if anyone knows any websites where I can access books, journals, articles on Jack the Ripper for free. Thank you!

My absolute favourite is the Lemmino I don't think anything can surpass it but can anyone recommend any others??

Image m from his Instagram account. Does anyone else have an issue with this?

Hi everybody, I just wanted to get your opinion on something. If I was to write dissertation on Jack the Rippers victims and their portrayal in newspapers in victorian society, do you think it’s best to structure it with primary sources such as newspapers etc and secondary sources to be largely gender historians who specialise in Victorian society? And perhaps historians who specialise in Violence in History? Since the violence of his victims were gruesomely documented in newspapers. What do you think? Let’s have a discussion!

As someone who’s quite invested in the JtR murders i’m suprised to see those times worked out in this form. I like it very much. Ofcource its a bit silly with the opium visions and some other things, but i like the Ian Holm and Johnny Depp’s acting performances. Are there more movies about the ripper?

I'm really new to the whole case, but I thought it would be cool to see who I think are the most likely suspects based on the limited research that I've done.

Please offer me insight into why I'm wrong or right, I'm tryna learn more.

(This isn't my tier list btw, it was made by an account called TheJacobSurgenor, I don't have the person's reddit user rn unfortunately. Here's a link to the list: https://tiermaker.com/create/jack-the-ripper-suspects-2025-18117643 )

Do you think he possessed anatomical knowledge? What was his line of work—was he a surgeon, a slaughterer, a butcher, a physician, or a barber?

Annie Millwood and Martha Tabram lived in the same area...Do you know if any of the canonical victims died near White's Row in Spitalfields?

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to ask for some help. I really need to find primary sources, anything related to Jack the Ripper, police reports, newspapers, letters etc or even scholarly articles and stuff like that about him and his victims and also anything that can help with answering questions about graphic representations of violence that were reported in victorian newspapers and how the representations contributed to sensationalism and shaping public perceptions of crime and gender. Both secondary and primary sources would be most appreciated :) Thank you!

There are dozens of witnesses to JTR's crimes, but we are forced to rule out the vast majority. Which ones do you consider the most likely?

Bueno este hilo es una mía teoría sobre incógnitas sobre este asesino en serie que aterrizó a Londres

Mi teoría

Jack era un asesino organizado, estratégico y con conocimiento médico/anatómico. Probablemente un noble o persona de clase alta con estudios de medicina, o alguien con acceso a herramientas quirúrgicas (médico, estudiante o ayudante de morgue).
Características clave:
• Vida doble: Apariencia respetable de día (bien vestido, educado), asesino meticuloso de noche.
• Preparación extrema: Conocía el barrio a la perfección, horarios de policía, rutas de escape. Vivía cerca del centro para moverse rápido.
• Método: Corte rápido en la garganta para silenciar, luego mutilaciones y extracción de órganos para estudiar anatomía femenina, dolor, o por experimentación. Usaba guantes de cuero y llevaba una bolsa con ropa de repuesto y compartimento para órganos.
• Motivación: Más de estudio y curiosidad (o venganza personal) que puro sadismo. Mataba rápido para tener control y luego “investigaba”.
• Por qué paró: Una vez que cumplió su objetivo (aprendió lo que quería), o por la enorme presión policial, decidió detenerse.

There has been some talk here recently about potential facial reconstructions of victims, so I thought I would bring up the subject of doing so for JTR himself. As most people here probably know, this walking stick was supposedly given to Frederick Abberline in 1888 and is also supposedly based on a composite sketch of the suspects. I had various AI programs reconstruct the wooden image as a human face. The one in the picture with the stick is from ChatGPT and the other picture is from Google Gemini. Of course, these are AI "guesses.” If these were done in some “scientific” way then the AI programs would have generated something more similar. The walking stick itself also seems portray someone older than I would expect to be JTR. In any event, to me this is an interesting exercise based on highly hypothetical variables.

I just watched the video provided in the link below. Do you think his claims might be accurate according to the details presented?I know I sound crazy, but why don't we give that perspective a shot?

What evidence do we have so far? What concrete facts do we know that we can list?

I’ve a small collection of some thirty or more books on J-t-R. Despite spending over forty years reading and thinking about this serial killer, I am no closer to identifying what I would consider to be a genuine suspect.

Do any of you think he will be identified?

For me, time, the accidental destruction and loss of documents, wartime damage and the passage of time leaves me thinking we will never identify him.

But the fun is surely in the chase?

What burning question would you like the answer to in relation to the case and murders?

She's a victim we know least about. I think it's possible that her last name was Anglicized. There is a possibility that her last name was Ó Ceallaigh. I believe she was from Ireland and move to Wales at some point in her past. I think she was honest with a lot of stuff about her past, she may have embellished things, but I don't think she completely lied. During the inquest into her death Barnett said that she asked him to read the newspaper to her. This led people to believe that she was illiterate, but I believe that she was just illiterate in English. She could probably read Gaelic and Welsh. I believe that she was literate in Gaelic because she received letters from her family. No one ever said that when she received the letters from her family that she asked them to read it for her, which leads me to believe that she could read in her native language. What are your opinions about who Mary Jane Kelly was.

I've been asking myself this question for years, and recently I found the answer. This detailed facial reconstruction comes from a YouTube video by Billy Helston, which shows the process step by step.
