Jack the Ripper

I watch educational programmes and on the History Channel last night it was about Jack the Ripper.
If you don't know he carved up prostitutes in the East End of London, namely Whitechapel.
All kinds of theories came out which included the Prince of Wales at the time.


Anyway, the History channel hired some CSI or NCIS people who investigated.


The out come was common sense in a way.
No real pattern except that at that time and in this area the East End of London was riddled with Syphilis, which as we all know (not) causes brain decay and people going out of their mind.
According to this team, they took the killings and the verocity of them later on, to lead to the conclusion that this person was riddled with Syphilis which explained the lack of pattern, but mainly where ever he was at the time.


They also noted that it was a Jewish community, even then, and on some nights there happened to be a Jewish meeting or something going on.


So there we have it, he was a Jewish East ender, most probably in the rag trade (that's what they did in that area) and riddled with Syphilis
