When researching Jack the Ripper I came across a Metropolitan Police Service Case Study of the murders, evidence and the location of where the deaths of eleven murders took place. However, the police believe that Jack the Ripper did not commit all of the murders. Whilst researching I also found out that J the R kept the hearts as a prize, or he eat them or J the R sent the heart to the police. I found it disgusting that J the R eat the hearts of his victims but from my research I know that no one knows the truth about the murders and that the eating of the heart is a myth.
I found this website very helpful to my research
http://www.met.police.uk/history/ripper.htm. I found that the use of this website gave me a lot of in site to the evidence of the case by the message on the wall. The irony of the message is insane as the use of the red makes people think of blood and J the R says 'Good Luck!' to the police officers trying to find him as it seems that he out smarts them and that he is challenging them, even though some people say that he only killed prostetauts but his made himself out like a villian.
The name
Almost certainly the one single reason for the enduring appeal of this rather sordid series of prostitute murders is the name Jack the Ripper. The name is easy to explain. It was written at the end of a letter, dated 25 September, 1888, and received by the Central News Agency on 27 September, 1888. They, in turn, forwarded it to the Metropolitan Police on 29 September.
The letter was couched in lurid prose and began "Dear Boss......" It went on to speak of "That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits......'' ('Leather Apron' was a John Pizer, briefly suspected at the time of the Chapman murder). "I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled..."; and so on in a similar vein. The appended "trade name" of Jack the Ripper was then made public and further excited the imagination of the populace.
The two murders of 30 September 1888 gave the letter greater importance and to underline it the unknown correspondent again committed red ink to postcard and posted it on 1 October. In this communication he referred to himself as 'saucy Jacky...' and spoke of the "double event......." He again signed off as Jack the Ripper. The status of this correspondence is still being discussed by modern historians.
The message on the wall
Immediately after the Eddowes murder a piece of her bloodstained apron was found in a doorway in Goulston Street, Whitechapel. Above the piece of apron, on the brick fascia in the doorway, was the legend, in chalk, "The Juwes are The men that Will not be Blamed for nothing." A message from the murderer, or simply anti-Semitic graffiti? Expert opinion is divided.
