As from what my lecturer told me,
jack the ripper was the first ever serial killer cases happened in human
history in Whitechapel London, which then what made it famous. Furthermore, the
mysteriously missing of culprit till today also made many parties wonder on the
case. However, from so, there were many opinion and interesting responses that
we could find regarding it.
In jack the ripper murder cases, I
have heard many responses in their opinion on who might actually be jack the
ripper himself. One of it is, it actually done by royalty which is Prince Albert
(eddy) to cover up their doing at the time where the prince actually happened
to have sex with one of the conical five victims that they afraid they would
appear to have offspring. He also suffered syphilis which said to be affected by his illegal
mate, in so made him angry and suffered a mental damage that create a reason
for him to kill the prostitute.
The Knight
theory, though interesting and entertaining in its own way, has been
effectively debunked by many Ripperologists. Most notable was Rumbelow's
refutation in his revised edition of Jack the Ripper: The Complete
Casebook where Rumbelow provides evidence that Annie lived longer than
Knight claims, spent time after 1888 in workhouses, and had Alice with her
through some of this time. There are no marriage or birth records listing Eddy
as Annie's husband or as Alice's father. Other than that, there was never any
hard evidence linking Eddy to Cleveland Street, Annie Crook, or even Walter
Sickert. The lack of evidence, conspiracy theorists purport, proves the theory
because all evidence was destroyed! Regardless of the legitimate criticisms,
the Royal Conspiracy remains one of the most popular theories with several
movies, novels, and graphic novels built around it.
In the end,
it is difficult to consider Eddy a serious suspect. Although rumored, there is
no concrete evidence that Eddy had mental problems (either through syphilis or
any other reason), he is reported being out of the country during the murders,
and no solid evidence has been produced that links Eddy to sexual relationships
with either James Stephen or Annie Crook. Despite these facts, it appears
likely that (outside of serious Ripper circles) the theory of Eddy's
involvement in the murders in some way will never completely fade.
