The fact that her throat had been cut, but the rest of her body had not been touched, led to speculation that her killer had been interrupted. On the same day Catherine Eddowes was found almost an hour away (on foot) at 1:45am, Jack had taken her uterus and her left kidney. Almost a month later Mary Kelly was found murdered in her room at 10:45 am. She had been virtually skinned to the bone. Many experts believe that she was Jack the Ripper's final victim.

Investigators of the case believe that Druitt could have been Jack the Ripper, because around the same timeframe he committed suicide; the murders stopped (Jones). John Douglas noted that serial killers do not suddenly cease their urge to kill (Anderson 69). That would logically explain why there were no more murders were committed.

    The first victim was a young woman named Teresa Knowlton. She was found drowned in a tidal pool in the Gulf of Thailand by Sobhraj.

  • Murder Case of Megan Kanka

    1632 Words  | 4 Pages

    Some people might say that if a sex offender does their time in jail that is enough punishment. Others may disagree and say that more action needs to be taken because of stories like the little girl Megan Kanka, who was raped and killed by a sex offender. A sex offender who her parents were unaware of because there was no rule or law that stated anyone else needed to know. Soon after this incident happened, some states passed laws that required local communities to be notified when a convicted sexual offender moved to a specific area. These laws are different in every state. In some, the state requires that convicted sex offenders put up signs in the windows of their homes, so that the neighbors can be aware that a crime has been committed by that person. Some offenders are even required to send postcards to their neighbors, informing them of their crime. These specific states would like the neighbors to be aware of who is living near them. Almost as a “beware” so that they can take action by telling their children to stay away from the sex offenders. The internet also provides extremely convenient websites that allow users to locate addresses and photographs of the offender. The websites also include reasons why the offender was convicted. One of the reasons some say that the laws are too strict on sex offenders is because of people like the woman that actually lived with a sex offender. She was upset because she said he had already served his time and it was unfair to tell everyone in their neighborhood that he had committed that crime. Some of these offenders may constitute an unfair punishment, especially if they are the low-risk, one time offenders who have possibly learned their lesson the first time. It may be unfair becaus...

    This meant that the post mortems were difficult and the coroners were unable to get any clues from the corpses. No one actually saw Jack The Ripper Kill. Many different descriptions were given on the killer but no one actually saw him commit murder. This meant that the police had no idea of where and when he killed because he could have moved the bodies. I believe that the most important reason why Jack The Ripper was never caught was because of the police.

  • Analysis Of The Murder They Heard

    The article “The Murder They Heard” written by Stanley Milgram and Paul Hollander is a response to the article that Martin Gansberg “38 Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police”. Milgram and Hollander explain why they do not agree that the neighbors of Catherine Genovese should have called the police. Milgram and Hollander give reasons why they disagree with Gansberg, and why I should agree with what they are saying. After reading both articles, I felt very conflicted with who I agree with, but after much deliberation, I realized that I agree more with Milgram and Hollander. The neighbors should not be blamed for Genovese’s death. We should try to understand why they did not call the police. There are a few things you need to take into consideration,

    The first murder that occurs, we do not have the pleasure of viewing, but we know the general gist of the story. Maureen was raped and brutally butchered with a hunting knife and was found in her bedroom, getting blood all over the covers. The next two murders were of Casey Becker and Steve Orth. Steve had his stomach ripped open with a knife and he was strapped to a patio chair with duck tape over his mouth. His intestines had been exposed and there was a pool of blood around the chair. Casey received precisely six phone calls before being gutted, yes WITH a hunting knife, and hung outside in her front lawn from a tree. Principal Himbry, the fourth victim, was stabbed seven times (again with a hunting knife) and hung from the school football goalpost. He was found around the time of Stu's party. The next lucky person was Tatum Riley, Dewey's younger sister and Sidney's best friend (ex). She had her arm sliced by a knife (I'll let you guess what kind) and was found in the garage's kitty door with her head crushed.
