Walter Richard Sickert and Jack the Ripper
I want you take everything you know about forensic science; finger printing, DNA, blood splatter analysis, criminal profiling etc. and throw it out the window. Now, I want you to attempt to catch a killing machine fluent in German, Latin, French, and English. A psychopath that is driven by his deranged mind, hate for women, inablity to perform sexually and overall lack of a conscince who is killing alchaholic prostitutes in the East End, the worst neighbor hood in London .Your name is Scotland Yard inspector, John Grieve, and the man your looking for is named Walter Richard Sickert, The World knows him by the name Jack the Ripper and you lacking the scientific possibilities that we are fortunate enough to have now, know him by that name too. He has sent you and other police officials like you countless letters and notes but without any physical leads the investigation is sunk. Jack the Ripper was the one of the most violent serial killers in history. The fact that he was never caught would tarnish the reputation of London police for decades. and to him it was a great laugh and something that he would not let them forget as long as he was still killing. It is generally accepted by those who study him that he kill at least fi
The last HA-HA he would ever chuckle to himself about was that he wished to be cremated, forever ruing any chance of being scientifically tied to his secret identity. As skilled as Sickert was he couldn't hide his true self from being slightly exposed in the taunting ripper letters sent to the news papers and police stations. It is probable that a psychopath Like sickert would have found great pleasure in dropping in subtle hints that would not be followed up on until now. When writing to newspapers sickert often used the psuedonym "Mr. Heads decapitated, torsos with all limbs severed, he drew what he fantasized about, and the images are disturbing to say the very least. Walters father, Oswald Sickert was an artist as well and for extra money he often drew punch and Judy cartoons for local magazines. I found her book interesting, compelling and extremly informative. The case is not solved I dont personally believe that Cornwell proves that Sickert commited these crimes beyond the shadow of a doubt, But there are hundreds of things that fit together very well according to her theories, even the most well read "Ripperologists" with their own suspects (there are about twenty other male suspects and one female) admit she is onto something. And to call coincidence after coincidence after coincidence a coincidence is just plain stupid. for example; blood found on one of the ripper letters was put on there by a paint brush. No one cared about them, and almost no one missed them when they were gone. When Sickert was five he had already underwent three suregerieson for a fistula on his penis, although not much is known because there were no doctor's notes or well kept medical records, the belief is that the first two surgeries failed and that to put Sickert out of his misory, his penis was partially amputated. ve women, however it could have been more like twenty five, there is no way to know when he stopped killing or if he ever did. punch and Judy are husband and wife, they have a baby whom they constantly abuse and Punch the father is a sexist alcoholic.
