BIG PRETTY TAKES ON JACK THE RIPPER!  

You are perfecting your storytelling ( although this is not a story ). When it came to the 5th victim I got shivers and goosebumps. If only they had medical detectives at that time he would have been caught really fast. Its incredible how forensic work has developed and is still being perfected. You should make a series about your taking on cases.

Your Lizzie Borden video cane up on my newsfeed. Then i searched your page for more true crime and you do great videos! Ive been into JTR for 20 years(nothing like you of course). Studied the casebook. everything Donald Rumbelow, Stewert Evans, etc wrote but your videos have great little tidbits of info i never knew. I hope you do more true crime videos in the future and maybe even some on the muse you work in. Thanks for the videos.

Lechmere did not tell the policeman that there was another officer with the body. This is a popular misconception. The policeman lied at the inquest and stated that Lechmere told him that another policeman was already with the body. The reason he did this is obvious. After Lechmere and Paul told the officer that they found a woman on Buck's Row that may be dead, the officer wasn't that interested and continued making his rounds of waking people up on his beat. Once he arrived at the murder scene and saw how serious the situation was, he needed to justify why he took his time getting to the murder scene. He stated at the inquest that Lechmere told him that there was already an officer on the scene. Lechmere denied saying this so it's basically one man's word against another's. As far as Lechmere's route to work passing by the murder locations, this is pure speculation. You'd have to draw a couple different paths to work to bring Lechmere past the murder scenes on his way to work. Nobody knows what routes he took or at what times he went to work. In closing, if you are going to consider Lechmere a suspect just because he found one of the JTR victims, what about the other bodies? Shouldn't the men that found the other 4 bodies be considered suspects too?

Had the wife and I enthralled, thanks big guy! You rock!

Wow that was a long video, but for the subject totally needed. It was fascinating stuff and enjoyable. Well done Tim, I loved it!

I think Kosminski is the guy. As you pointed out, he was actually caught by Israel Schwartz attacking one of the victims. (I think it was poor Elizabeth Stride.) Although, I think I read somewhere that there was also record of a Kaminski at the asylum at the time they think Kosminski was there, so there might've been a mixup in the names? Anybody else read that?

But as you pointed out. Serial killer just don't stop. When was Lechmere ever accused of being a killer post 1888? Also.t he police never mentioned Cross in any further killings..

I really enjoyed your video on the Ripper (also enjoyed your 3 on Lizzie Borden, never knew about the overcoat theory!), and I like that you stick to the known facts and don't go off on weird speculations (I read the Cornwell book on Walter Sickert as the Ripper and thought it was poorly argued and merely conjectural, with no evidence supplied). Would you consider doing a video on the Julia Wallace murder? That one is eternally fascinating, even to seasoned crime writers. Or, to get back to Walter Sickert, the Camden Town Murder, in which the real killer may have gotten off. Thanks!

We have worse places than White Chapel in many major American cities right now.😢 There is NO EXCUSE for this situation.

please pretty please make a video on the remains of H.H. Holmes at your museum!

A triumph of an explanation of the Ripper legend. Hope we see more series killer accounts in the future.

I always enjoy your vid. You are well informed and organized. You have the abity to tell a story. I've got a book for you on Saucy Jack- It floats a theory that Elizabeth Stride is not a Ripper victim. It's pretty well done- if you haven't read it. Elizabeth Stride and Jack the Ripper by Dave York. Keep up the good work!

Love your crime stuff and share your reasoning on Borden and Lechmere. Don't apologize for rambling cos your full explanations are fascinating. Like yourself, I've read all the Ripper books,done serious online hours on the subject and have settled on James Kelly prime suspect followed by Lechmere. Look forward to more theories soon!

Sorry, Servant Girl Annihilator was 1884 &85, my bad. Name given by the writer O. Henry.

Really enjoyed this. I'm also fascinated by Jack the Ripper, as well as all the others you mentioned. If you like to listen to Podcasts, I would suggest giving LP On The Left a go as well. They did an amazing 5 part series on Jack the Ripper that was hilarious and interesting :)

If it was Kosminski, why did he stop killing? Was he in an asylum by then?

What about the butcher that passed by all the murderscenes, on his way to - ,and from work? I was informed,that they found out, that it was him...

I'm sure you had to've thought that yourself

I believe that Vincent Price was Jack the Ripper. The Lodger. Lol

So hearing the whole story, my only doubt for Kosmlinski being the ripper is he was a jew and shouted a slur at another jew? Just doesn't sound right to me, unless of course it was thought out to make it seem like he wasn't Jewish himself. Highly doubtful in my opinion.

Do the mad trapper from rat river!!!
