Jack the Ripper - true identity revealed at last!
It's taken 136 years but this appalling serial killer is about to be unmasked
Greetings Gold and Silver Level Templar Knights! This year, I’ll be revealing the true identity of Jack the Ripper after years of detailed research and investigation. Prepare to be amazed! And tell me now your views on this murder mystery. Let’s start working together on this true crime investigation!
On May 28, 2024, my new book on Jack the Ripper will be published in the United Kingdom and soon after in north America. It will expose the true identity of Jack the Ripper some 136 years after this monster terrorised the streets of Whitechapel in London. Prepare to be shocked as I reveal the truth in what is a rollercoaster read of a book. And I'd like you to be part of the launch experience from now until May.
So - what do you have to do?
Tell me who you think was Jack the Ripper? Was it a member of the Royal Family, a Freemason, an American, or an already active serial killer?
Do you agree that Jack the Ripper only murdered five women in 1888 - what are termed the "canonical" victims: Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Kelly? Or were there others like the unfortunate Martha Tabram?
What about Alice Mackenzie killed in 1889 who one police surgeon believed was also a victim of Jack the Ripper?
What motivated this serial killer to attack women in such an appalling manner?
Have the Ripper victims been demeaned over the last century and their real personalities erased by prejudicial attitudes towards women in the past - and today?
The book is now at the proof read stage with the publisher and a website is due out shortly.
Betting your new book will be a real treat for all who follow you and/or Ripper history. Looking forward to its release, Tony.
You asked our thoughts on some points. Thought i'd throw some out there for fodder:
Who you think was Jack the Ripper? // Someone with heavy perceived influence above the law, or who could compromise London Yard without blow back. Perhaps even high ranking and inside the law system.
Do you agree that Jack the Ripper only murdered five women? // Methinks likely more than five. This type of blood lust doesn't typically vanish - as long as the murderer was still alive and in country.
What motivated this serial killer to attack women in such an appalling manner? // Deeply rooted psychopathic tendencies, probably linked to previous repeated or intense spurning by a female mother or lover figure. Hopefully, she wasn't both.
Have the Ripper victims been demeaned by prejudicial attitudes towards women in the past - and today? // Initially, i suspect there was likely shame and a unwarranted 'deservedness' aimed at these vicitis who were reportedly women of the night. Later, when gore became popularized in literature and media, their storys probably became a sort of side show for thrill seekers. Sadly, each victim has been very likely depersonalized over time.
Best from the US,
