Who was Jack the Ripper - Identity Unveiled

By Samantha Richards


If you don't know who Jack the Ripper was, then here is a brief introduction about him. Jack the Ripper was a serial killer, who got famous because of the way he killed 5 women in London in year 1888. The women he murdered were prostitutes and he mutilated their bodies. However, it is now believed that his identity has been revealed.

A historian named as Mei Trow declared that he has unveiled the true identity of Jack the Ripper using modern advance techniques which is commonly used by police. Trow after using psychological and geographical profiling method evaluated that a man names as Robert Mann who was a morgue worker in Whitechapel area of London was actually Jack the Ripper.

Trow worked for two years where he did intensive work to find out the true identity of this serial killer. Basically his research started from information that he got from FBI examination of the Ripper case, which had worked up a comprehensive criminal personality profile. FBI evaluated that Jack was a white male from a lower class of the society and had a back ground of broken family.

Jack was an unskilled person who used to do small jobs but had knowledge about human anatomy like butcher, mortuary or medical assistant. His prolonged period of time without human interaction made him socially unfit, since Jack was from a troubled family his father was not around mostly for his upbringing and Jack in his childhood worked in a workhouse.

Mei Trow wanted to go beyond the myth of the man with a cape, knife, hat and coat; Trow found out that Jack was an ordinary man. He also put forward a shocking theory that Jack may have killed 2 more women in addition to the confirmed 5 murders by him.

The dead bodies of those two women along with the bodies of Polly Nichols and Annie Chapman were taken to Whitechapel mortuary where Jack (Robert Mann) used to work. Police then called Robert Mann as a police witness to confirm the cause of death of Polly Nichols; though later on police unaccredited Robert's statement by saying that his fits caused him memory loss and Robert's statement are unreliable.

Another point that made Trow suspect Robert Mann was that he undressed Polly's dead body with the help of his assistant; although he was sternly told by Inspector Spratling to not touch the dead body. According to Trow, this was done by Mann possibly to admire his own horrific work. This research of Trow is the most up to date in a long line of theories which were all about to find out the identity of Jack the Ripper.
