There are many plausible suspects who are accused of being Jack the Ripper. However, there are also many suspects which are down right crazy. You are going to see some of the craziest suspects put forth who have been accused of being Jack the Ripper. Here are ten of the craziest suspects who have been accused of being Jack the Ripper. Jill the Ripper This one is a theory and a suspect. Some ripperologists have argued that Jack the Ripper wasn't a man, but instead a woman. Therefore, it wasn't Jack the Ripper who committed the Whitechapel murders, but Jill the Ripper. Why is this crazy?
There are several reasons why this theory and potential suspect is crazy. It's highly likely that Jack the Ripper was a man. The vast majority of serial killers are men. It is estimated that as many as 90% of serial killers are men. Male serial killers are also more violent than women. Which suggests that the ripper was a man, due to the gruesome nature of the murders.
Duke of Clarence
The Duke of Clarence is part of the royal conspiracy. Some argue that Jack the Ripper was the Duke of Clarence, and that the ripper murders were a royal cover up for Albert (the duke) allegedly impregnating a prostitute.
Some argue that prostitute was Mary Jane Kelly. The reason that she was so badly mutilated, according to those who argue this theory, was to hide the fact that she was pregnant. Why is this crazy? Firstly, the Duke of Clarence wasn't even in London at the time of the Whitechapel murders. Secondly, a member of the royal family wandering about Whitechapel would have attracted attention. Thirdly, there is no evidence to show that Jack the Ripper was the Duke of Clarence. Thomas Neil Cream On the surface, Thomas Cream seems like an ideal Jack the Ripper suspect. He was a known and convicted serial killer. However, even though it is true that Thomas Cream was a known serial killer, there is a major problem why he is a crazy suspect... Why is this crazy?
During the time of the ripper murders, Thomas Cream was in jail. Automatically, this should rule him out at a suspect. He couldn't have committed the murders while being in jail.
There are two other reasons why he probably wasn't Jack the Ripper. His modus operandi. While Jack strangled and mutilated his victims, Thomas poisoned them. It was also the case that Cream liked to see his victims suffer, whereas, Jack was known to murder his victims quickly. They seem like two different killers. HH Holmes
HH Holmes is another plausible candidate on the surface. This is due to the fact that he was a known serial killer. And prosecuted for it.
However, that's not all... Why is this crazy? The idea that HH Holmes was Jack the Ripper seems far fetched. He was a serial killer that operated in the United States, not London. And there is no evidence that he was in Whitechapel during the time of the ripper murders. So, this suspect also seems crazy. Lewis Carroll Lewis Carroll is the last crazy ripper suspect that we have on this post. He seems to be one of the most ridiculous candidates on the suspects list. This is not because he is famous... Why is this crazy? The reason Lewis Carroll is a ridiculous Jack the Ripper suspect is the reason that he has been named a ripper suspect. The reason that he has been named a ripper suspect is because of his written work. Apparently he used codes in his work to hint that he was Jack the Ripper. Other than this, there is no evidence linking him to the murders.
