Was Jack the Ripper a Woman?

[MichaelWinicki]

you keep claiming no woman can be as vicious as a man can be? Do you still make that claim?

Give it a rest would you?

The topic of this thread is about "Jack The Ripper" and was the killer a woman.

I say no.

If you want to start a brand new thread about women killers in general, you know where the button is.

Saw a show on the discovery channel that was pretty convincing that Jack came to America and continued killing here. His name was James Kelly.

I know there was a doctor named Tumbletee (sp?) that was a viable suspect & he came to the US. I have heard his name on many shows as a possible Ripper suspect.

Anyone who has ever seen "Amazon Women on the Moon" knows that Jack the Ripper was really Nessie the Loch Ness Monster.

got news for you, Google vicious women killers and you would be quite surprised at what you find.

Interesting to hear someone in this day and age claim that women are still not capable of as evil as men.

Just watch the show Snapped lots of crazy women out there that kill you in a heart beat.

I think the point is not that women aren't capable of killing but rather that these murders are by an overwhelming majority of experts on the case believed to have been done by a male.

That should be the point.

Jack the Ripper was most probably Carl Feigenbaum, a German sailor who was executed in New York.

IMO, Jack the Ripper was almost certainly James Kelly. He brutally murdered his wife, escaped from prison just before the Ripper murders began and jumped ship for the US right when they ended. He can also be conslusively placed in at least two US cities at the time of similarly brutal murders in those cities.

Never heard this name. That is why this is the classic who done it. So many names. I'll stick with who Patricia Cornwell says..Walter Sickert. Interesting this name pops up and also the Kelly guy as the other poster says.

"Jack The Ripper in America" was a really good program.

Like all the Ripper candidates. Everything against him is circumstantial and complete guess-work. There are absolutely zero verifiable links of him or any of the other murders outside of (or in) London. (Lottie Morgan) Several people that try to pin on him actually have other stronger, yet still circumstantial evidence that says he didn't do it. Lottie Morgan's death was disturbing, did not happen the same way the Whitechapel murders happen.

It's a good story, but by no means links him to anything other than the murder he was put to death for.

Would have had to have been a very strong women of unusual height for the time period. You ever try to slit the throat of something? It's not easy.

There's a lot of circumstantial evidence with him. Ships that he was known to have served upon at one time had stops in London that coincided with Ripper slayings. The crew records of the time aren't exact but there's a strong probability that he was a member of the crew.

There's also three other murders in Germany and at least one in New York with similar MOs to the Ripper killings with him in the area at the time.

His story is definitely one of the more interesting ones, that's for sure. Especially since a ship they believe he was on also docked in several of the same cities as murders of similar type occurred. Even in South America

The biggest hurdle for it is that nobody can actually prove he was ever on those ships.

Tell you what, instead of asking me how I know, why don't you just ask any Med Student or anybody who has ever slaughter a Pig or maybe just do a little homework on the subject. I know because I have had experience doing this. Hold a struggling anything and try to cut the throat of that creature. It's extremely hard to do if you don't have pretty good leverage and the muscle and sinew in the throat is dense. It's not like in the movies where you just run the knife across the throat. You have to be pretty strong to do it and they are not just going to stand there and allow it. You have to be able to control a struggling person.

Would be very difficult for a smaller women to do.

Because I have done it and it's not a laughing matter NYC.
