  • Jack the Ripper: 100 Years of Investigation -- the Facts, the Fiction
    JACK THE RIPPER During ten short weeks in 1888, a series of horrific murders shook a district in East London. Five women of the streets fell victim to a crazed killer whose obscene mutilations of his victims caused him to be called Jack the Ripper. Often, his crimes were preceded by notes to Scotland Yard boasting in graphic detail the crimes he planned to commit At other times, he would follow up his slayings with letters extolling himself as the mur· derer, and in one case, actually included a kidney from one of his victims! Yet, for all these clues, Scotland Yard remained baffled. Despite the unprecedented media at· tention, the strong efforts of the police, and the implor· ing of Oueen Victoria, the "Butcher of Whitechapel" was never captured. A hundred years after the murders were committed, his identity still remains an enigma. Here, in Terence Sharkeys fascinating new account of the killings, is your chance to succeed where Victo· rian forces of law and order failed. Can you solve the mystery of Jack the Ripper? Criminologists and amateur sleuths worldwide have puzzled over the mystery, but to no avail. Who could the killer have been? An aggrieved husband? A vengeful sufferer of venereal disease? A berserk abattoir worker? Nobody knows for sure. Terence Sharkey evocatively recreates the spine· chilling atmosphere of Victorian London and invites the reader to formulate his own theory by providing ex· amples of Jack the Ripper's letters to the police, pathol· ogist's reports, sensational newspaper coverage of the day, and a host of other fascinating documentation and evidence.

"I never knew where I was going, I never knew what I was doing - that's why you never nailed me . you never knew." ALBERT DESALVO "You'll never get me. I'll kill again. Then you'll have another long trial. And then I'll do it again." HENRY BRISBON II ABSTRACT METHODS TO THEIR MADNESS: TRACKING DOWN SERIAL KILLERS Shelbie J Ewing 06 July 2007 This thesis involves the methods for tracking serial killers and what the criminal justice system can do in order to ensure that future serial killers are caught before they are allowed to kill again. In the criminal justice system, serial killers rank as one of the worst types of murderers because they are unpredictable and ruthless. This paper will give vital information on just how ruthless these killers are and how they have advanced as technology and our society has advanced. It will detail current as well as historical data about the methods of tracking serial killers and the apprehension of these vicious criminals. This thesis will also compare and contrast the data that has been collected thus far about serial killers and what means of apprehension have worked versus those that are still works in progress.
