You might not like what you find behind the Jack the Ripper case. Either insanity or a cover up at very high levels. :eeek::eusa_doh:

Personally I believe the man named Jacob Levy was the madman of Whitechapel. A mentally disturbed, syphilis infected, butcher. Sounds about right if I had to make a guess. Is it possible that the Police choose to hide the identity of the killer, because they feared violent reprisals against the Jewish community?
I'm far from a Ripperologist though. lol

Well for the JFK thing you have to live to 2038 for the documents to be released. I think we'll both make it.

There are of lot of interesting side stories, rumours, famous suspects, events...a fascinating case!
Hi Tiller. Levy is your favourite suspect? Interesting. There are just so many suspects, and more being added to the list. I personally don't favour Levy as a suspect, but I too am no Ripperologist. I have read a great deal on the case, but there are always more books and articles to read, and new research coming to light. Hey...I use to be on Casebook (your link).
I don't think so.....but who knows! That is the thing...no one knows for sure, just a lot of theories. None are provable.

The only real question there is whether it really did crash, or did the military shoot it down.
Murder. Arranged by the Kennedys. Next?
It certainly is a distinct possibility that the true identity of the killer was discovered, and the ongoing 'mystery' down to a cover-up. I'd be very surprised if they did it simply to protect the Jewish community back then, though. A royal, now that would have been different. The Masonic conspiracy also can't be easily dismissed, given the specifics of the ritual nature of the killings.

Surely you're not naive enough to think they'll actually release the truth?

There are a number of people that believe it was faked.

This one is going to be an uproar when the documents get opened up. I remember seeing a program I think on PBS that did an analysis of the Zapruder film frame by frame. They did a 3D computer animation of the film. With movement of the car and the occupants it showed how the "Magic Bullet" was actually more than reasonable but very likely because of the way the victims line up when the film frames are studied in detail.

The royal theory is bunk. The dates of the murders, and when the Prince was in the country do not match. One of the most famous theories though!

I saw on TV once that they did a survey and something like 70% of the people interviewed thought it never happened. I've seen a lot of stuff about it being a fake and stuff not making sense with it. Honestly, I have no real opinion either way, but I'd like to know for sure.
Geez, I'll be pushing 50 by then!

The only real uproar I can see coming will be from those naive enough to think now that they'll release anything like the truth. [huh]
Certainly, if memory serves, when the last of the murders that are regarded as Ripper canon was committed, the Duke of Clarence was genuinely in Scotland. What still seems a possibility to me is that the murders were committed in order to cover up a royal indiscretion. It certainly seems more likely than the idea of one of the Old Firm getting their own hands dirty.

They're not going to tell the truth. They can't even get a Kennedy movie on the history channel, because the family threw a fit.

I think they actually have it nailed with James Kelly.:

He is there at the times and dates. He even wrote a confession. A regular nut fooled every one until his death.
