There Were Many Suspects In The JTR Murders Over The Years. What Are The Evidence That Supports The Claim That James Kelly Was JTR? If You Are A Rival Detective, How Do you Eliminate All The Evidence That You've Identified In The Documentary?

Based from the documentary Jack The Ripper In America, there are support of evidence shows that James Kelly is Jack The Ripper. Among them are:

• James Kelly killed his wife with a knife and his wife was being cut at the throat. He killed his wife because he assume that his wife is having an affair with someone else.
• He worked as a furniture upholsterer which improves his skills with knifes.
• He went to the US and at that same time the Jack The Ripper murder pattern also occurred towards the killings of prostitutes there.
• He suffered from mental illness and was placed in a mental institution.
• He was a cunning guy. He create his own key and managed to escape from the mental institution. 
• His appearance matches with the 19th century eyewitness description when James Kelly himself is 40 years younger.

  As a rival detective, all of the evidence above has its flaw. First of all even if John Kelly killed his wife with a knife that doesn't mean that he is capable of killing other people because he does not have purposes and motives on every killing he did. James Kelly does not have the purpose and reasons to kill prostitutes because there is no links and connection between him and the prostitutes he killed.

  Secondly, he suffered from mental disorder, as most people know mentally ill people are incapable of doing a clean murder. The murder of Jack The Ripper is so clean that no evidence is being left behind besides a dead body. How can a mentally ill person such as John Kelly could leave many murder without leaving any signs of evidence.

  Regarding the eyewitness description, one should know that the disadvantage of eyewitness is most of its sources are not reliable because the evidence that was gathered might not be as accurate compared to the real life image description. Thus it shows that the eyewitness is not concrete enough to support the evidence.

 

   Thirdly the letter written by the murder of Jack The Ripper In America is completely different compared to the murder done the original Jack The Ripper that happened in London. Thus it shows the murder in America was done by someone else.

   In conclusion, the murder in the United States claimed Ed Norris by the is not linked to the one that occurred in London in the 18th century. Therefore the murderer was different and probably the real Jack The Ripper will be known in time as research and investigation will be done thoroughly from time to time.
