"From Hell" or From a Poor Relationship with Women? | Jack the Ripper Case Analysis 

It's an extremely strange paradox that everyone knows who Jack the Ripper was. And yet no one knows who Jack the Ripper was.

Wow. Love the idea of Dr. Grande doing killers from history.

As a NJ resident, I'm furious that you've described my state so accurately.

I really cant wrap my head around how people can perform such profound cruelty upon another person for seemingly no genuinely good reason.

Please do a video on *ALEISTER CROWLEY* - that would be interesting...definitely a uniquely bizarre character.

"Just to put this in perspective: it was almost as bad as New Jersey"

Whoever coined the name ‘Jack The Ripper‘ , did a terrific job in preserving the notoriety of this killer !

As a Ripper buff of many years this video is one of the best I've ever seen to get into the nitty-gritty of the Ripper's personality. It also includes some photos of the victims I've never seen in other books. You've excelled yourself once again Dr Grande.

Perhaps the most intriguing yet frustrating part of the case, is how there were close instances in which he could've been caught. In Lemmino's documentary on the case, in the murder of catherine eddows, it was shown that the place she was killed in was at the time, under patrol by an officer (who happened to have left the vicinity to patrol other areas at the time of the murder). Then to make it more frustrating, the area had been inhabited by a policeman and his family, who would've gotten the full view murder site, yet had slept through the whole ordeal. There was also a night-watchman at the time, who was cleaning a warehouse near the residence. He was within earshot, yet he had not heard a thing. It's amazing how the killer has managed to evade the police and time itself. It is by no wonder that it has remained as one of the most prominent, timeless classics.

Thank you for showing photos of the victims from their lives and not the gruesome autopsies. I think often people forget that they were real people with hardships and serious problems, just trying to get by.

Excellent again! A hundred years ago my family members were desperate Scots who immigrated to NYC illegally, impersonated another famous family, dispensed drugs without licenses and - pretty sure - poisoned a few people. I’m impressed with how well Dr. G analyzed such a long ago mystery. I’d like to do the same, but the family would retaliate, has already retaliated. They’re still impersonating the famous Andersons. Great inspiration, thanks Dr. Grande.

Would still love to see you do a segment on H.H. Holmes, the famous Murder Hotel serial killer in the early 1900s US

Excellent analysis and hilarious as usual. Can't decide which one had me laughing harder - the shade thrown at New Jersey or "who yellled an expletive in a prison cafeteria" - damn, Doc! Looks like someone is going to be hitting the two million mark in the near future! (I'm only speculating, just a theory, my opinion...) :-)

I have lowkey always wanted to see your take on this case. Thank you for the video today, Doc!

Most of the men in White Chapel at that time probably would have fit the description in your analysis so its no wonder he was never caught. Great video 😊.

LOL If all five women lived within 400 feet of each other, that's a huge clue. That could not be an accident. He must have lived among them or very close to them.

Thank you for resisting the wearing of a deerstalking cap and Inverness cape while smoking from a meerschaum pipe during your excellent commentary Dr. !

Interesting stuff. Would be great to have more historical cases like this.

Ouch Dr Grande, that New Jersey joke was uncalled for! Just kidding, I’m from Jersey and most parts are indeed malodorous.

The RU-vid channel "Lemmino" made an excellent and extremely comprehensive documentary on the Jack the Ripper incident. It's only about an hour long and it's well worth it even if you only listen to it.

Like the Zodiac Killer, this is one of those cases where we don’t know who Jack the Ripper is, but there are a number of suspects. One of them could be Jack and others likely weren’t him at all. It’s cool to hear your thoughts on this case Dr. Grande, keep up the great work!

That was great, but I who ever is Jack the Ripper is ,we will never know, he took his name too the grave with him. Brilliant analysis and topic.

Historical cases! Awesome! Thanks, Dr. Grande!

Thank you Dr.Grande for your thoughts on Jack the Ripper case..I’m from East London and I remember my Nan telling stories about Jack..The stories looking back were urban myths but my Nan believed them..What did ring true was the fear this murderers reach was,even after years of he’s terror..

You should do a case on the black dahlia

Do more of these historical forensic analysis… Very interesting

"Almost as bad as New Jersey" lol like your sense of humor DR. Grande you come out with some good ones.

Finally Thank you so much Dr Grande! I've been requesting that you do an analysis of Jack The Ripper for over a year now on every single video you would upload I would request this from you thank you!

There was a documentary done in 1988 on the 100th anniversary. I remember watching it as a kid.

I almost spat out my food when Dr. Grande said "It was almost as bad as NewJersey".

Great video. Please consider doing an analysis of Rasputin some time.

This is your finest most Emmy award winning episode of your whole career. Thank you for executing difficult content superbly!

It was almost as bad as NJ🤣 My name is Jackie and I'm from Princeton, NJ. I love you nonetheless doc!💋 I always look forward to your video's ❤ Keep them coming!😘 You're my favorite part of the day!

This has always been an interesting case even if there has been more prolific and sadistic serial killers in history. I’d imagine whoever Jack the Ripper was he met with something that cut his murderous career short, we will never know for sure.

With regards to the "From Hell" letters (including part of a kidney sent to police) actually being supposedly sent as a hoax by medical students at the time, I'd be interested to hear what you think of these hoaxes and why they occurred.

Well done doctor! I just sprayed my Chamomile tea laughing. 🤭😂🤣1:40-1:55 Professional grade shade delivered with precision. Thumbs up!

Those Poor Women Suffered Horrifying Deaths!!💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ooooooo! I'm so excited for your analysis!!! What a mystery. Thanks Dr Grande for the hard work and dedication! 🤣 Hating on my home state again!

Fascinating case and superb breakdown! Thank you Dr. Grande.❤️

What an interesting case! Thank you for pointing out the parallels with other serial killers. I would never have seen that on my own! Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande! ❤️

I've always felt that the 'From Hell' letter was genuine. I think it was prompted by the 'Jack the Ripper' letters and that he would not have written otherwise. It did contain half a human kidney and there's debate on whether or not it came from Eddows or whether it showed, (as some references I've seen have said), evidence of Bright's disease; common in alcoholics. Great analysis, as always!

Could you do the case of the New York subway shooting that occurred today as well as the life and death of Gilbert Godfried?

I really liked this, especially keeping the psychological focus throughout. Please, sir, could we have some more? (Couldn't resist the Dickens temptation!)

Almost as bad as New Jersey? Hey, come on, let's be fair and not get carried away. It wasn't even close to being as bad as New Jersey.

Great analysis, Dr. Grande! 🌵 Would love to hear your thoughts on H.H. Holmes from the 1800s. Thank you & have a good evening! 😊

Great analysis, Dr.Grande. I especially liked your personality analysis at the end. It's really interesting when you do these old cases, and can still analyze the type of person that might have committed the crime. I love the old cases. lol. Thanks so much for the Jersey shout out! You know we love it, right? 🤣 We do. 🤗

Thank you for doing this analysis. I've been hoping for it

There are some things in this world that are better left unexplained. In this case, it’s the true identity of Jack the Ripper.

Dr Todd not only extremely smart but also amazing at telling stories.

Man, you are so good at what you do!! Excellent job once again! Your profiling is impeccable!

IVE WAITED FOR THISSSS just got back from school, taking a break before iftar cant wait! thanks doc!

The coverage of this famous case fulfilled at least one commenters oft asked request! I bet they are thrilled!

Thanks, Dr. Grande. Would be interesting to hear you talk about some of the other significant suspects

Very helpful analysis! It really helps to understand the potential psychological mindset of the murderer. The comparisons with other similar case is helpful too. Any case is solveable, but I am not sure how they are going to solve this one. Thank you so much for making the video.

Good afternoon Dr G, thanks for the awesome analysis!

Thank you for an interesting and insightful video, Dr. Grande.

It's amazing how this story has captivated us for almost 135 years and will remain a mystery for years to come. I really enjoyed your take on it, Dr. Grande. Thank you as always.

This Case has always fascinated me!

Thanks for finally doing this-you're awesome

Thank you for the historical analysis Dr. Grande, and thank you for helping me with some SPSS stuff with videos from back in the day!

"It was almost as bad as New Jersey." Cheeky Dr. Grande! 😈

I'm so glad to hear your Analysis!!

This is one of my top picks of yours. Your analysis of the historical ! Doesn't get much better than that! I now have a deeper understanding of it not for the lack of all the things written and debated over the years. Tyvm

I’m surprised you hadn’t already covered Mr. Ripper. Also, in regards to the stench, London had a massive horseshit problem at the time. There were so many horses being used and abused for transportation at the time that it seriously threatened to choke the city. Without really ever solving the problem, London was saved by the automobile which made horses fairly redundant. Unfortunately for the enslaved horses, most of them were killed since they were no longer needed by the Londoners. At the time, the decision to kill the horses prompted perhaps the largest animal rights debate in known history and began much of the animal rights literature that’s still used today.

Yay! Best time of the day! It's Dr.Grande time! 🤗 ❤💜💙

As always informative, indeed more so than ever, and on more levels. I would be interested to hear your insights on the McLeod Schmegelsky case of 2019.

Hello Dr. Grande❣️ thank you for the new upload! As always you have perfect timing! I hope you have a great night 🥰

I love the example of the expletive being yelled in a prison cafeteria, everyone looks like a good suspect!

SO EXCITED YOU CHOSE TO ANALYZE THIS CASE DR GRANDE! I wasn’t sure you ever would because I figure it would have a lot of overlap with your analysis of the Zodiac Killer.

Can you analyze the case of Dr. Todd Grande. He’s described as professional counselor, educator, and content creator who specializing in personality disorders, addiction, recovery from trauma, psychopathology, and assessment.

Extremely enjoyable, but you always do provide great content. I always enjoy hearing about the Victorian/Edwardian murders. I would love to hear you analyze Constance Kent.

I've been enjoying the Doctor's videos for a few years now, but I think this is easily one of his best!

I always watch anything about the Ripper. So excited for this!

I LOVE old cases best!!! 🤩 Thank you! Please cover the Papin sisters of France some time. 🙃

I've been fascinated by the Jack the Ripper case since I was a kid. Thanks for this analysis!

I absolutely love your sense of humor . If I listen closely I always find it . I makes my day !

I got interested in this case as a small child (I know) playing Shadow-Man on N64, I can still say the opening from memory. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for confining to save people from the horrors of NJ.

I always thought it was Kosminsky after the Ripper Tour

Thanks again Dr Grande ❤️ I love the learning about the old school cases .

Excellent Analysis, Dr. Grande! But then, it always is! Much Appreciated!

Jack the Ripper was Aaron Kosminski.

New game: take a shot every time Dr.Grande says “Canonical 5”

Great video again Dr. Grande! Love from Brazil ❤

Very interesting. Thank you Dr.Grande. Wonderful job.

Another amazing video Dr.Grande! 👏🏼🎉 Do you think you could do a video on Natalia Barnett?

Dear Sir, This era in London, the 1880s, is a rather fascinating setting if I do say so myself. I believe one can link the following famous names to the period: Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes, Count Dracula, and The Elephant Man. There are more names no doubt, both real and fictitious, than just those four that are perhaps equally as well known - Her Majesty, Queen Victoria for instance - but, if one knew nothing of the original four I just named, and then the reasons as to why they are famous were described, and the descriptions given thereof did not reveal which souls actually walked amongst us, and which souls were mere ethereal phantoms conjured up in the miasmic fog bound minds of London’s most imaginatively gifted novelists, I think their true natures would be very difficult indeed to determine, although, I am quite sure, a very select few, might find it all rather, elementary... Yours truly, Doctor John Watson

My favourite mystery! Glad he's done an analysis.

Love the comment about New Joisey ( New Jersey) 😂 I’ve never been there but have heard similar jokes since the late 70s. Thank you for your sense of humor.

I can't believe that I'm hearing an analysis on Jack the Ripper by Dr. Grande! This was, I think the 1st case of serial killers that haunted my nights as a kid. And the fact that he was never caught, only made it that much more darker for his victims! Such an incredible analysis, Dr. Grande! Your content exceeds all others! ♡♡

Good morning Dr. Grande! I'm saving this for later, but as a Jersey girl, I can laugh at myself. It is the Garden State in reality 🍅🥬🌽

Very interesting analysis Dr Grande!

Excellently done dr Grande.

If anyone is interested in the Ripper murders, I highly recommend reading "The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper" by Hallie Rubenhold. It adds important context about the victims and examines their lives with more empathy than is usually given to them. It's unlikely that all of the women were full-time professional sex workers. Newspapers (and society in general) at that time tended to assume a woman was a sex worker if she was unhoused or not living with a male partner or relative. It's possible that at least some of the women would occasionally turn to sex work on a casual basis when they were unable to get income elsewhere, without actually considering prostitution to be their main 'job'. This would have been a relatively common practice among the poorest of London who had no other support networks. Alcohol dependency issues were also extremely high among the poorest of London Victorian society. Most victims of the Ripper had alcohol and addiction issues, but these issues would have been typical rather than exceptional.

Can you analyze the case of Dorothy Kilgallen please Dr. Grande?

Awesome video! I am so glad you made a video about Jack the Ripper.

YES! YES! YES! Been waiting on this one.

I really enjoy your channel. Can you do a analysis on the movie What About Bob! I am curious on how real or Exaggerated the Psychiatry was portrayed

Hi, Dr Grande! 🙋🪴🌵🌵🪴🍀 How is your day going? Are you sure you're getting rest? Thank You! Hi, everybody!🌞🌝🌛🌚🌜🍀

Excellent as always. I have gain perspective on jack in this video than I did on countless videos. As a true crime junkie,I wish Dr grande would be doing true crime while dissecting and analyzing thier personalities.

What an interesting video! Also, how nice to see nice images of the canonical 5.
