Potential Leads:


Could potentially have been working with police force at the time - Social tensions rising, police had to get involved in some way, letters sent to the police, this correlates to “Dear Boss” letter, perhaps letters were not at all intended to taunt police, but rather inform the head of the police dept. About what was occuring at the time.

Could have also been part of some secret society or group, which would also be a valid explanation of the “Dear Boss” letter. This, along with the first point, would tie up a few loose ends, such as why the letters were specifically sent to the police, and not anyone else.

I’ve also noticed that it almost seems like he KNEW what was going on behind the police departments closed doors, which would tie together with the first point, and it would also explain why he was never identified, or why absolutely no other info was given out. Given this, it is safe to assume that he had at least some connection to the police department.

Killer may have had surgical or anatomical knowledge, considering the removal of organs from victims. This, In short, potentially means that our culprit was a surgeon of some kind. (Dear boss letter, “They say I’m a doctor now. Ha ha

The series of letters, also, are written in different ways, suggesting that this could have been a group of higher up individuals working together, which would explain why they all had knowledge on certain subjects

Could have been someone who knew someone who had a connection to the police, TL;DR, a rogue police officer giving the killer information on police doings and whereabouts.

Conclusion: Most likely an English noble, this fits all of the explanations I have given so far, Nobles at the time would most likely have had advanced education, therefore having surgical knowledge would make sense. Now this would raise the question, how did the king not know about this? Two explanations for this would be: The king was in on the plan of the killer, which sounds far fetched but isn’t entirely impossible. The second would be that the noble was removed from their position, and the noble, angry at the king, tried to make the point that the king treated his nobles poorly, and to get it out there, they had to do something insane, but when they killed his victims and the police started searching, they couldn’t make their point public. Since they were a noble and therefore had higher education, it would make sense that they purposely wrote with poor grammar to drag suspicion from the nobles onto common people. they thought it would be unlikely that nobles would be suspected of committing something so hanus. My most likely suspect? Mary Louis Milman, who was the 15th Baroness Berkely. Her being the culprit would make sense, considering we have very little information on her and she was alive between 1840-1899, and the murders took place in 1888. Not only this but considering the king treating his nobles poorly, Louisa was a woman, which, historically, were treated worse in society at the time even if they were nobility.

Deduction: Louisa Mary Milman as Jack The Ripper. “Jack” means “God or Gracious” aka Nobility.
