Jack the Ripper

So in english I am writting on events in the Victorian Era and I found Jack the Ripper the most fascinating part.
I think Jack the Ripper is the worlds number one serial killer. We are still finding information today about him. The most interesting thing is we still don't know who he is. He got away with 5+ murders, mostly of women who were prostitutes. In one of his victims he removed her sexual organs without damaging any of the other surrounding organs. It is believed he strangled his victims before taking out any body parts. His first five victims were prostitutes whose bodies were found with organs missing. The murders after did not have the exact marking on the body as the first five infact some of them did not have any damage done to there abdomens. It is still believed that the murders were commited by jack the ripper since they were all within the same time. One of the main detectives, Macnaghten, did not join the force until the year after the murders; and his memorandum, which came to light in 1959, contains serious factual errors about possible suspects. It is unclear who the murder was. As each body was discovered the mutilations had gotten worse. They went from just one organ missing to every organ missing. The bodies where so cut up that it was hard to get real idetification. Jack the Ripper was sick and twisted and should have been punished for his crimes but I still find it interesting to learn about.

Interesting Blog.
the missing organs probably meant that Jack the Ripper was a surgeon or a barber lol.

Or just a guy who had nothing better to do than practice taking out organs on animals

Yah... Jack the Ripper was twisted. He deserves the nickname! That reminds me of an allusion in a play we had in Drama. It was a parody of Agatha Christie's 'And then there was none."
The line was
Biggs: HOW DO WE KNOW YOUR NOT SOME JACK THE RIPPER?
Heather: DUH! BECAUSE HIS NAME ISN'T JACK!
Emily: THAT'S ODD.
Matthew: NOT REALLY, I WAS NAMED AFTER MY FATHER...
Yes, thats completely from memory. It was a tone of fun. But anyways when I saw this title, I thought of that play.
However, I didn't know that they were still finding stuff out about his murders... that is creepy and it makes you wonder, how many murderers are actually walking amoung us, undetected because they are really good at covering it up? How do they live with themselves? What causes people (like Jack the Ripper) to do those horrible things?

Thats what I found so interesting is that they are still finding information out about it
