THANK YOU!

He chose Whitechapel because:

1. It was a target-rich environment2. Jack was comfortable and familiar with the area -> Potential legitimate cover Core behavior: Quick kill with post mortem evisceration 1º victim: Martha Tabram, not eviscerated Outdoor scene: limited activity Indoor scene: Mary Keller, at her house, extreme evisceration Probably arrested, left Whitechapel, sickened or died but not satiated.

An interestic profile

Dr. Bond assisted in the autopsy of Mary Kelly and Alice McKenzie (was she a victim of Jack? That's unknown). Murders: brutal and with a sexual nature (probably due to Satyriasis); carried out of rage, clean, quick and out in the open. Jack was: strong, cool, daring, quiet, neatly attired, middle-age, a loner, eccentric and mentally unstable.

The profile

Jack probably was: a single withe man who lived alone and had around 30-37 years of age. He was in the same socio-economic class as his victims. He had a menial job and drank in the same pubs as his victims did. Police thought that he was nocturnal and liked to prowl around. He had an innocuous nature and he would be seen as someone incapable of committing the crimes.

The crime

All the crimes were outdoors, except Mary Kelly's one (it was indoors). The risk was minimized thanks to a blitz-like attack. This type of attack is usually disorganized, frenzied and occurs with stabbing. All were committed in the early morning hours over a weekend, excepting Martha Tabram, which happened on a bank holiday, also non-working day. Jack broke his routine.
