Love the hastily drawn in moustache too!Considering it is based on vague written descriptions from individuals that may or may not have even seen Jack the Ripper, I'd say it is worth very little in real terms. However, I'm not entirely surprised that it looks like the currently favored suspect: George Chapman a.k.a. Severin Antoniovich Klosowski. Bizarre the lengths folks will go to in order to attempt to provide 'new evidence' to market a television program. Cheers, Charles Sherlock Holmes in Film, Books and Media

Charles, we need to correspond off-board re Jack the Ripper. I didn't know Klosowski was currently the in-vogue villain. ... Reed

However, I'm not entirely surprised that it looks like the currently favored suspect: George Chapman a.k.a. Severin Antoniovich Klosowski I don't remember the details, but I did read at least one convincing debunking of Chapman as the Ripper. The problem is that in 1888, the people the police thought of as the most likely suspects are not those investigators today would consider probable suspects. The Ripper seems to be an authentic serial killer in modern day terms (I sure the hell wish they hadn't used that word "serial" since there are a lot of killers who slay serially but who aren't "serial killers"), and so Chapman is not a reasonable suspect. I agree that this sketch means very little.

Nov 24 06 2:49 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The problem with Chapman is that he lived until 1903 and that his MO was that of a wife poisoner, which I for one cannot reconcile with the savage and bloodthirsty slaughter of the Ripper. While some MOs change and a killer's methodology may evolve, I just don't see it in the Ripper case. Cheers, Charles Sherlock Holmes in Film, Books and Media

Nov 24 06 3:09 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm largely convinced Mary Trabham was the earliest (or AN early) Ripper victim. True serial killers often kind of warm up by employing some but not all of the methods that become standard/habitual for them, and her wounds seem to fit this concept. Also, she was a prostitute, who made up the only (known) targets of the Ripper. A poisoner is not likely to have killed those women as ANY of them were killed, particularly the final one, when he had lots of time.

Nov 24 06 7:46 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I generally stick with the 5 accepted victims when discussing the Ripper case, but you are right Bill, of all the secondary possible victims, a reasonably good case can be made for the inclusion of Martha Tabram as a 'warm-up'. And Reed, anytime you'd care to discuss the Ripper off-list, feel free to drop me an email to charles@bakerstreetdozen.com. Cheers, Charles Sherlock Holmes in Film, Books and Media

Nov 27 06 4:00 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Wasn't there one early victim that had debate over whether or not she was an actual Ripper victim, but evidence suggested she may have been killed by two (or more) people, rather than someone working alone?

That's why I always thought it should of been Albert "Prince Eddie" Victor or Walter Sickert.
