The Man Who Hunted Jack the Ripper by Nicholas Connell,Stewart P. Evans Pdf
In 1888 the unknown brought death and terror to the streets of Victorian London's East End. The Man Who Hunted Jack the Ripper is the story of Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, who was head of the Whitechapel detective force. Having joined the Metropolitan Police Force, Reid rose through the ranks and was eventually transferred to the notorious East End. It was at this time that he assumed responsibility to lead his men in a relentless pursuit of Jack the Ripper; his hunt of the Whitechapel murderer spanned the years 1888 to 1891. Reid retired from the police force in 1896 but, in the subsequent years, he often reminisced on his involvement in the hunt for the infamous serial killer; from the comfort of his armchair he carefully considered any new theory that came to light about the identity of Jack the Ripper. The Man Who Hunted Jack the Ripper recounts the full story of a series of murders that shocked the world.
The name Frederick George Abberline has become synonymous with that of Jack the Ripper, and he has been portrayed as everything from an alcoholic, a drug addict, a womaniser and a bully. In reality Abberline was none of these but instead was a devoted husband and a dedicated policeman in a time of rampant corruption. Furthermore, the Whitechapel murders were not the only notorious cases he worked on. From his humble origins as a clockmaker through to his rising through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police, Abberline tells the story of a man who lead some of the most infamous investigations in criminal history. Long before the Ripper, Abberline infiltrated an Irish terrorist group known as the Fenians, before he became embroiled in the Cleveland Street Scandal – an incident that almost brought the Government to its knees. When he retired from the police at the age of 49, Abberline had received eighty-four commendations and awards – a testament to his tenacity and ability.

What type of person was Jack the Ripper? Why did he kill and mutilate six prostitutes in 1888? What was the motive for the crimes? Why was he never caught? This book does not name Jack the Ripper, but instead offers a unique insight into the mind of the Ripper and illustrates the harshness of life for many people in the East End of London at that time. It explains how a young criminal from Spitalfields, became the most infamous serial killer of all time. It reveals how his early life may have developed and the circumstances that led him to commit six murders over three months. The Ripper was born into poverty, neglect and abuse, resulting in a life of crime. But something else made him into a serial killer of prostitutes. This book is not for the faint-hearted nor for people that are easily offended by bad language, sex or sexual violence. Each of the six killings is described in explicit detail, to understand the type of person, Jack the Ripper, was. This story explores the psychology and development of Jack the Ripper and is accurately based upon the crime scene evidence that is in the National Archives. It covers the key events chronologically from both the point of view of the Ripper and also of Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, who leads the investigation. Discover the reasons behind the chosen Modus Operandi and the signature of the killings. The Ripper's story is partly told through his aunt, who is the strong, no-nonsense landlady of the Princess Alice public house. It demonstrates the likely personality of the Ripper through interactions with her and with other people. The motives for each of the Ripper's crimes are explained by Inspector Reid, some of which are different from other theories. The story shows why his crimes escalated, from earlier knife attacks to his first kill with Martha Tabrum. And why they ended with the grotesque mutilation of Mary Jane Kelly. The other aspect of the story focusses on the police investigation, by contrasting two different investigative approaches to catching Jack the Ripper. Detective Inspector Reid tries to understand the crimes and the killer from a psychological perspective. Each killing is explained and analysed in detail by Inspector Reid, for him to build up a picture of the killer and his probable motives. Whereas, Detective Inspector Fred Abberline is relying on his local knowledge policing. The story not only demonstrates the psychology and the personality of the Ripper through his crimes; it also demonstrates Reid's desire to understand the perpetrator of the crimes, to narrow down the likely suspect from the rest of the population of Spitalfields. This book clearly shows the psychological battle the killer has with his mind and the quest of Inspector Reid, in finding an unknown serial killer. The book contains maps of the crime scenes, explanations of the local dialects and rhyming slang used in the story, a list of the key persons involved in each murder or attack and Inspector Reid's noticeboards that help him narrow down the suspect.

Jack the Ripper: Scotland Yard Investigates by Stewart P Evans,Donald Rumbelow Pdf
In 1888 the dreaded figure of Jack the Ripper stalked London's East End murdering prostitutes. His crimes set in motion a huge police operation and have held a dark fascination over the public's imagination for over a century, yet his identity has never been proved. Now, for the first time, two leading Ripper experts have joined forces to treat the case like a police investigation. Drawing on their unparalleled knowledge of the Jack the Ripper murders and their professional experience as police officers, they uncover clues that have remained undetected for over a hundred years. There are five 'canonical' Ripper victims, yet Scotland Yard's 'Whitechapel Murders' files include another six suspected victims. Drawing the reader into the world of police investigation in Victorian London, Evans and Rumbelow reveal the conflict between the City and Metropolitan forces and the ridicule heaped on the police by the press. Investigating each murder, they conclude that only four of the eleven victims were actually killed by the Ripper. Perhaps most tellingly, they question the motives behind the destruction of evidence – particularly the message 'The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing', which was chalked on the wall near one murder site and rubbed out on order of the Chief Commissioner – and ask whether the enigmatic Dr Robert Anderson, officer in charge of the investigation, knew the Ripper's true identity. Jack the Ripper: Scotland Yard Investigates strips away much of the nonsense that has accumulated since 1888 and reopens files on a case that will perhaps never be fully solved but will always fascinate.
