Top 10 Jack the Ripper theories

10 Jack the Ripper theories is a video by Nick C. It is a vlog showcasing 10 theories as to who was the true identity of the victorian English Serial Killer, Jack The Ripper.

American Ripper
The first theory was that Jack The Ripper was an American man, this theory is because shortly after the Whitechapel murders, a woman was found murdered in the USA in a similar MO to the Ripper murders.

Nick brushes off this theory as there was only one confirmed American Ripper suspect, Francis Tumblety, who was shown most likely innocent.

Jack The Rippers
The second theory is that Jack The Ripper was really a group of killers, not an individual. Evidence to support this theory is a leather apron found at the sight of the second victim, Annie Chapman, but Jack The Ripper was believed to be either a doctor or a butcher due to his precision in how he killed his victims, however, in 1888, leather aprons were used only by blacksmiths, so the blacksmith Ripper might have murdered Annie while the other Ripper murdered a couple of the others.

Black Magic
The third theory was that Jack murdered his victims as part of some sort of Black Magic ritual. Part of the theory is that Jack spaced his murders out as part of the ritual, but it is also believed that he spaced the murders out to prevent his home from being found.

Another part of the theory is that Jack removed his victims specific organs, again, for the ritual. However, a hole in the theory is that Jack removed no organs from his first victim, Polly Nichols.

Black Market
The fourth theory is that Jack removed his victims organs to sell them on the black market as veal.

Jack the Father
The fifth theory was that Jack the Ripper had kids.
