Jack the Ripper
Who is Jack the Ripper
The identity of jack the ripper is the greatest mystery in the history of British crime. It seems incredible that a man who killed six women in the middle of a massive police man hunt could escape detection. Some suspects are a surgeon, a psychiatric patient and even a member of the royal family that have all been linked to the killings, but not one suspect has been placed at a murder site. Over the time of the murders evidence has emerged that claimed to prove his identity, but all were quickly discredited. A diary confessing to the murders was a forgery, medical records implicating a doctor was secretly altered, and recent DNA results from a victims shall can be linked to 95% of the population. After more than a century searching for the identity of the murderer we are still no nearer to a solution
The victims
Charles Allen Lechmere (Cross)
Mr. Robert Paul said in a newspaper interview that he had found the body of Polly Nichols, before P.C. Neil discovers the body, and when he did a man was standing over her. The man who was standing over Polly Nichols was said to be unknown to police, yet the day after the newspaper interview the man appeared at the inquest. Charles Allen Cross was the man who was seen standing over the body of Polly Nichols. Charles Allen Cross worked as a delivery driver and admitted he was the first person to find the body of Polly Nichols
Charles gave his address to police as 22 Doveton street yet the official records show no one called Cross living at that address
I find it strange that Charles Allen Cross did not come forward about finding the body more willingly. I also found it interesting that he practically disappeared after finding the body only to reaper the next day. In my opinion the murderer is Charles Allen Lechmere
