MARY JANE KELLY: Jack the Ripper’s Fifth Victim (Ripper Victims EPISODE Five) 

This presentation used the book “The Five” as its main source. While some people take issue with this book disrespectful comments that are not constructive will be deleted and the commenter blocked. I enjoy discussion but don’t tolerate abuse. Thanks! The vast majority of people are great and have nothing to worry about. This is a positive channel and place. The jerks can just move along!

That poor girl. No one deserves what she got.

R I P Mary Kelly and All who could not find peace in life .

Lord, I was born a bred in London, and am fascinated by unsolved murders, like Jack the Ripper for example, but you have dissected Mary Jane Kelly's life VERY well. Thank you for uploading.

Great presentation.. !!Thank you for bravely singing her song, such a nice tribute to her..I loved it!!

I saw the photo of the last victim, omg, why . I couldn't sleep for a few nights after that. That poor woman, RIP 😢

i visited all the graves of the Ripper victims during the summer last year, it felt strange standing there at each grave knowing the horrific death they each encountered...but as you say, Mary Jane Kelly's death was the most brutal of them all. As i live not far from London i have done a few Jack The Ripper tours around the East End.....the legend of JR still fascinates generations of people, and i guess it always will. Keep up the great content on your channel 🙂

I cannot possibly understand how someone could dehumanise another person in such a sadistic manner, a pathetic coward of a man

What happened to Mary Jane Kelly was beyond fucked up. Rest in peace, Mary Jane Kelly.

You have an exquisite voice and sang that song in the old way. Thank you for singing it made the telling of this story so much more real. 😢

I saw this on my recommended videos and was so excited! "Score! I've been waiting for this one!" Also, the thought of Victorian dirty dancing... lol

Admirable that you honor each one of the victims and not the killer. Because many were prostitutes they were not considered that important. Like today, much more attention is given to a victim who's family who had money.

I've loved this series as you are the first on RU-vid to humanize the victims. Most just call them prostitutes, rather they were or not. Throwing everyone into one catagory. Their stories are unique to them, they chose at the time to live in Jack The Rippers killing field. Not probably by their wishes. I feel they were all desperate for home and family, but Victorian England was a rough Era to live in with strict social barriers. 😮 Makes you wonder how these woman survived as long as they did? We are somewhat that way today when we see homeless people. We have been told they chose their circumstances. I don't think that's true. Yet society does nothing to make a change. This story highlighted for me that things haven't changed very much!!! Wonderful job. I have only been subscribed a day or two, but your channel is fascinating. 😊😊😊

Wow, what a great singing voice you have. That song really brought the story to life. I've enjoying watching this series and will have to browse your other videos for something to watch/listen to whilst I paint (I'm an artist and yes, art supplies are a never ending expense). Cheers

I personally believe that Mary and her landlord John McCarthy were related. There had been several facial reconstructions of Mary and she bears some resemblance to actress Kim Kendall who is the granddaughter of John McCarthy. McCarthy was a shady character who owned lodging houses - he later owned Crossingham’s Lodging House where Annie Chapman had stayed - and was involved in gambling. As someone who most likely had eyes and ears everywhere, I think he knew a lot more about Mary and perhaps even her murder than he ever let on.

Thank you for your lovely singing. It was like being at that time in history

What a fantastic video. This one obviously meant a lot to you. The emotion in your voice in the final summing up section is quite contagious, and I found myself welling up. Much as I would like to see the identity of The Ripper discovered, part of me would love to know the real ' Mary' even more. She really was quite lovely, and I agree, you can see that from the photo , in the little spaces between his gruesome handiwork. Thankyou.

I like this. I listened to you as I worked from home. You have a relaxing voice to me. and of course, I love the topic. 👍🏼

What was done to her, even 135 years later is still shocking. With all the horror movies and many documented stories of known serial killers, especially since the 70's. Even with all that, I've never seen such extended and brutal mutilations on a murder victim.

a sad story, but thanks for adding so much detail about her whole life. by the way, you singing is very good!

Excellent video! It's nice to hear the backstories of these ladies, and learn about their lives before their tragic ends.

None but the lonely hearts can know my sadness, love lives forever...as written on the tombstone of Mary Jane Kelly...RIP Mary Jane Kelly,May you never be forgotten.

Other crime scene photos would have been taken of Mary Kelly, specifically of her eyes. It was a belief in the Victorian period that if someone was murdered, that a picture of the murderer would be preserved in their eyes and visible on photographs...

* This was a very compassionate documentary. I think you're right about a lot of the things you said about her. It should never have happened. A researcher by the name of Christer Holmgren has convinced me that the historical Jack the Ripper, was a man who worked for Pickford's delivering meat for butchers and a slaughterhouse, so his clothes would typically be stained with blood on a regular basis. His name was "Charles Allen Lechmere", and unfortunately, he lived a long, prosperous life. There is one photo of him floating around the internet. * I don't know if you've seen that documentary called "The Missing Evidence: Jack the Ripper", but Holmgren has managed to convince a lot of people that Lechmere *was* Jack the Ripper, including James Scobie, who was the Queen's Barrister. They also show another artists rendering of what Mary Kelly may have looked like, and does look very similar to the 2 reconstructions you show here.

My heart aches for her. It is the most injustice for families who claim to love you or if you were brought into the world by their playing around. No one deserved that jus based upon your sex. Much love and prayers for her. We never die.

A very nice presentation for the lovely Mary Jane Kelly. There were some other very similar murders a little later on, could easily have been saucy Jack at work again with his sharp knife.

I loved the song I could picture singing it. Brought home her frame of mind and the fact that there was no radio to click on

Thanks for your video and voice!

Excellent work. Much appreciated.

I love all your details :) Thank you!

You sang that song very nice :)

A Good Presentation,Good singing voice👋🙂

There were people that saw her twice and a lady claiming talked with her that morning and she didn't feel well and her clothes she was wearing were different and other clothes were folded neatly on the bed with the corpse that's why they presumed was her. She was allegedly pregnant or was sick from the sight of whomever that was. Someone claiming to be her great great great granddaughter had a locket with a man she presumed was her husband but it was a lover. Mary had a baby? Suppose she got away and had a better life? I believe the royals are somehow connected. I dont believe they killed those women but were connected. 5 deaths and stopped. The 4 other women were in their 40s and she was 25.Cover up maybe? This was personal, very personal. I dunno this is so baffling. Thank you for the beautiful song.

Amazing how much information there is about their lives. Wonderful research

Thank you for your series. I didn't know that much about the women and now I do. I plan to buy the book at some point. And yes, loved your singing; added to the video nicely.

Very good telling of the victims stories and lives. I wonder if any of the ancestors of these women know about their great great etc......?

You have a beautiful voice, and sang that very well, bless you

Love your video! I read that book "The Five". It was so good. They were more than just Jack the Ripper victims. They had such hard lives and it ma led me so sad.

You not only have a good, factual video but you also have a pretty singing voice!

I tend to think that it weren't Mary, and I was hoping that you were going to prove it. You see, one of her neighbours were talking to her that morning, I think it was said to be at 08:30. Mary told the neighbour that she had been sick because of drinking too much the night before, but if it was one of her friends that was murdered in her room, then obviously that would have made her run outside and be sick. Later on that morning, two people testified that they saw Mary. I'm now thinking that Mary then went to her ex-boyfriend to inform him. They then came up with a plan so he would say that it was Mary's body, and when it's all over that the two of them would go and live some where else together. That would mean that they were no longer in debt. I know that her friend Mary was alive as she was at the inquest, but what about this Julia.? And what's her surname.? Could she have been reported has missing not long after.? Could the murder victim be Julia.?

Thank you for posting keep up the good work.

Beautiful Voice thnx

You are so well researched! even knowing the detail of the print that she had on her wall! You looked close to tears when talking about her death and that's understandable, such sad souls who lived hard lives and met really gruesome deaths at the hands of the monster....I full believe it was Aaron Kosminski...who later changed his name to George Chapman....the evidence is overwhelming! It's also nice to think he got his just deserts because he was hanged in 1903. Thanks for another great vid, I've watched all of your vids on this subject and have enjoyed them all, living in uk myself I've been able to walk around the whitechapel streets where these poor souls met their demise. Take care.

Dear Madam Morbid, where did you find the 3 photos of what you think is Mary Jane Kelly? Is that really her? The first picture looks like her from her side view like the drawing of Mary standing next to her lodging room in the newspaper.

People have to stop referring to From Hell. It's a Hollywood movie. Hollywood muddles up fact and fiction. Don't go by what a movie depicts, please.

Good job on the story

Thank you for all this' 2023

I watched another video on here and its word for word repeat of this one...

I can tell you who she was, she was related to the real Jack the Ripper through marriage. Marry Jane Kelly was not her real name her real name was Marry Brider. Because she was going into prostitution she had to change her name, so she used her brother in law's name Kelly the real Jack the Ripper. That is why Kelly went looking for her for revenge on her and the family. As you know he found her. That is the short version of her life and Jack the Ripper's life.

Mary Kelly had little or no education. She could neither read nor write. She insisted, ex partner, Joseph Barnett read the latest Ripper newspaper stories to her. Mary was most likely from an Irish Traveller or gypsy family. They have very large families. Close knit, secretive, hence no records. Also, her sister and aunt went from town to town selling their wares - most likely tin pots and trinkets. That is typical Traveller (hence the name), itinerant selling or hawking. Young Irish Traveller women are very good looking, great singers and performers. If Mary had a serious rift with her extended Traveller family, she would be ostracised and never welcomed back!

Just so you know all those photos of her alive , are fake. The only photo of Mary Jane Kelly that is real is the one where she is dead unfortunately

Very tragic.

I thought that they did prove the true ID of Jack the Ripper. He was a Polish immigrant who suffered from schizophrenia. He ended up in a mental institution.

I don't get these reconstructions. Both look nothing alike and most certainly you can add any woman's face to it and call it a reconstruction.

What are your takes on the theory that Mary Jane was not killed atall (since two of her neighbours said with confidence that they had seen her early the next morning)? It was rather some othe unfortunate lady, and that is why the face was destroyed beyond recognition to help Mary Jane escape JtR.

I wonder if they’ll ever be able to identify her through genetic genealogy. Or if they could test her remains to find out if she’s Irish or not.

I think Barnett meant “her hair” rather than “her ears” and he was misheard due to his accent.

You sing Beautiful.....

I find it so touching that Mary Jane took in women who had nowhere else to go. She wasn't a wealthy woman, but she did her best to keep her friends safe. I think it says a lot about her character. Whoever she really was, she was clearly a kind, caring and loving young woman who deserved so much more than her fate. It's so sad that not one member of her family could ever be located to even attend the funeral. Given the great pains she took to distance herself from her past, perhaps that's how she preferred it. Life in Whitechapel, grim as it was, must have for some reason been preferable to the life she left behind.

We just today published a video on Jack the Ripper on our channel. Always thought it was fascinating. We explored a theory that Mary Kelly had a relationship with the heir to the throne. The British Royals could not tolerate the future King being involved with a prostitute, so Jack was dispatched to eliminate her and then eliminate other prostitutes who knew about the affair. Once the loose ends were tied up, the killings stopped suddenly, which is unusual for killers of this type. Feel free to check out our video. Nice channel you have btw!

You forgot to mention she was out on the streets again at 2 30ish

Can't they do genetic genealogy/DNA on her bones, surely that's possible??

Volbeat made a song for her

Is the house still there?

The population of Manhattan is 1.6 million. The population of London in 1888 was 4 million. If we employ the laws of probability and some common sense, what is the likelihood that a father could find his daughter? Nil. What is the likelihood anyone (not the author) would be able to gather this much information on a prostitute in her 20's? Nil. If the source of the author's information is 'The Five', it's a load of hooey. Good effort and good channel though.

She was killed for love Barnet Kelly’s boyfriend probably killed her mk had gone to bed he let himself in with lost key and locked the door when he left he was at the murder scene the next day but didn’t tell the police how to get in using the broken window ,why did he kill her because he wanted to scare her off the streets which worked for a time until he lost his job then run up debts with the rent and she finally kicked him out the news papers of the day created a monster ,he also killed the 2nd and 4th of the 5 who all had connections with mk earlier that day on his visit she had told him not to come near her again it was then he decided what he was going to do because she had found and loved some one else he lied when he said when he left her on good terms the day he visited the day of the murder, the first murder was done by Charles cross the 3rd was one of the gangs of the time , her heart was taken because in his mind he didn’t want anyone else to have it and that was why the murders ended ask yourself why were her neatly folded clothes not touched and yet other clothes were burnt the rag left in the doorway after the 4th murder also gives the direction he was heading back to Dorset st where he lived until she kicked him out .

Yeah Kelly would be a very common name besides Mary Jane there was two other Kelly's a John Kelly and a suspect with the name of Michael Kelly that looks eerily like the drawing very much almost identical. But I don't know if he's a suspect he went to America where they said he continued killing and they dug up a few prostitutes that were mutilated shortly after that but nobody knows I believe Charles cross was the name he sometimes used was the killer the one that found Polly Nichols body or Mary Jane Nichols if you prefer. Charles lechmere which was his real name and one Robert Paul found the body he didn't think she was dead he wanted the proper up and latchmere said I'm not touching her. Wanting to get away he suggested that Paul and himself go look for a policeman his intent was for each to go their separate ways and he could bow out and get out of the crime scene but Robert Paul started walking with him. Independent of that a few minutes later a policeman showed up and said there was blood under her head now if it had been there when Robert Paul was there he would have known she was dead and wouldn't suggest propping her up. What that proves was when Robert Paul came to Polly Nichols she had literally been killed seconds no more than a minute or two before. Why because the blood had not even leaked out yet all the cuts were made after death including the throat. So the blood wouldn't spurt out but it would slowly leak and there was nothing there with s*** proves that she had just been killed literally seconds before. All the victims were found on a path either that he would have taken to work when he would have been on that path or on the path from his house to his mother's house and the victims were on though that path as well when he was on that path. So he can be tied to all five victims no other suspect can even be tied to one victim. A few more pieces of evidence first of all Charles lechmere lied and gave his false name at the inquest and to the police officers so he was trying to hide his identity. And he made a mistake while speaking at the end quest he said he had heard Robert Paul coming and he came upon the body and knelt down and he could still hear Robert Paul coming. Robert Paul said he heard nothing there should have been two sets of footsteps his and lechmere but there was not because latchmere was busy mutilating the body. Buck's row enhanced sound and it was known for that both men were work boots and he heard Robert Paul quite clearly walking a couple of hundred yards behind him Robert Paul should have also heard latchmere. However he said it was eerily quiet when he walked down the street the only thing he heard was his footsteps. Let's mirror is the ripper and I'm about 99.99% sure of that.

The letter "F" was carved into her arm she had a ❤️ tattoo and a M was carved into the wall. Is a person with the first letter of the name "F" her killer? Does it mean F... ❤️(loves) Mary? As sick as it sounds. Couldn't it be possible?

I think Joseph Barnett did it.

Hi. I'm very impressed with your knowledge about Mary Kelly, considering your American? I hope you're keeping well?, Craig

could jack the ripper be a bounty hunter? she escaped human trafficking? she coudve been in hiding? was she connected to the victims in any way? why was her face the most disfigured compared to other victims??

'infirmity'

♥️😢🙏

All of this is just A theory, an unproved assumption

A miner...or a miner...

Where on Earth did you get all that shit??
