Finding
Jack the Ripper is not easy even the suspects for this serial murder were over
a hundred. In a documentary named Jack the Ripper in America, a retired
detective, Ed Norris claimed that James Kelly was Jack the Ripper and he was responsible
to other murders of prostitutes in United States of America (USA). Ed Norris
found some evidences of the case that lead to his conviction about James Kelly
was the Ripper.
The
first evidence is James Kelly killed his wife by stabbing her in the neck after
he accused his wife had another man. This evidence shows that Kelly had an
experienced in murdering however, he was doing it when he was angry towards his
wife unfaithfulness. When people are angry, they may lose control and do
anything that can release their angriness and this is different with the other
Ripper’s victims where they were killed randomly.
Second,
James Kelly was escaped from Broadmoor Asylum by using a key that he made by
himself in early 1888 exactly the year when the killing happened. On the contrary,
there is no evidence show that James Kelly was in Whitechapel at the time of
the murder happened because police could not find him until 40 years after he
escaped.
Third,
other evidence that Ed Norris found is he worked as a furniture upholsterer
that had ability in using a knife. Nevertheless, the method of Jack the Ripper
killing is he cut the victims’ throat and took out the organs of the victims. It
shows that the Ripper had knowledge about human body or anatomical knowledge as
he knew the location of human’s organs and James Kelly did not have that.
Fourth,
the next evidence is James Kelly’s psychological result matched with the Ripper’s
attitude as a doctor decided that Kelly was insane that could lead to murdering.
Granted that, insane people cannot murder their victim without leaving any
proof and cannot plan the place and time of the murder strategically since most
of them are doing it spontaneously. It is different with Jack the Ripper’s
method of killing.
Last
but not least, the fifth evidence is James Kelly’s photo is the same with Jack
the Ripper’s sketch when he was 40 years old younger than the age when the
photo was taken. Conversely, this evidence is an assumption made by Ed Norris
as it is not strong enough to proof that Kelly is the Ripper. No one can
convince and had witnessed that the Ripper’s sketch is 100% correct or the
young face of James Kelly is accurate.
As
conclusion, Jack the Ripper remains unknown until today no matter how hard
people trying to find him by using technology or personal detectives. It is
because Jack the Ripper was an intelligent murderer who could do his work
without leaving any evidence on his victims’ body.
