James Kelly is not Jack the Ripper



James Kelly the serial killer who killed prostitutes in late 1980, is known for the suspect of Jack the Ripper,. In the documentary, Jack the Ripper in America, a former head of NYPD cold case Squad, Ed Harris investigates the potential suspect of the serial killing which also occurs in America. The main suspects of his investigation are James Kelly. Why does he choose James Kelly? It is because he is diagnosed of mental disorder, capable of murdering using knife, killed his wife with a knife, escaped from the mental institution before the white chapel killings and he went to USA and there are murders with same MO with jack the ripper

However, I don't think that he is Jack the ripper. Why first of all, there are no concrete evidence that James Kelly is in London on 1988. Next, as a serial killer, why should he what for 3 years just to do other serial killings? Why doesn’t he just kill random people at London at that time? Why must America? Yes he kills his wife but that doesn't show any connection on the others killing. He kills his wife because she thought her wife cheated on him. Yes he escaped from the mental institution, but why kills people when he can just run away? And there is no evidence that link James Kelly was in London when the murder occurs. Last but not least, he went to America and then accused to be the jack the ripper. There are others suspect that live in America, for instance, George Chapman, who killed 3 of his wives. There is also evidence that show Chapman’s were in London when the white chapel killing occurs. The best part of the evidence is the letter. The handwriting of the Jack the ripper does not match James Kelly handwriting at all! Thus, what i can conclude is James Kelly is not Jack the ripper. The question now is WHO?

  1. You are 100 years to late with your dates. The 'Whitechapel Murders' happened in the 1800's not the 1900's
