4Montague John Druitt
Druitt Died By Suicide In 1888
The first ( serious ) Jack the Ripper suspect exhaustively discussed inNetflix’sUnsolved Mysteriesvolume 4 , installment 1 , " Who was Jack the Ripper ? , " was Montague John Druitt . Druitt was a barrister and teacher solve in South Londonbut was dismissed from his perspective in November 1888 for nameless reasons .

The last confirmed dupe of Jack the Ripper is Mary Jane Kelly , who died on November 9 , 1888 , a little less than two calendar month before Druitt ’s physical structure was found floating in the water . The murders later stopped , so , the police theorized that Jack the Ripper might have choke by self-destruction . That theory led them to Druitt , and it was strengthened when they learned that his family even believed he was the murderer .
The only thing that could possibly ( but not really ) discover Druitt as Jack the Ripper is the fact that he buy the farm by felo-de-se a couple of months after the last murder .
Druitt ’s chum claimed that he had been mentally precarious , and his suicide notation divulge that Druitt felt he was going harebrained . However , no concrete evidence ( including eyewitness accounts ) connects Druitt to the murder or Whitechapel . The only thing that could possibly ( but not really ) key Druitt as Jack the Ripper is the fact that he died by suicide a couple of months after the last murder .
3Francis Tumblety
Tumblety Was American
Another defendant dissected in the Jack the Ripperepisode ofUnsolved Mysteriesvolume 4 is Francis Tumblety . Tumblety , who was American , claimed to be a doctor , but he was really a hoax . The Londonpolice arrested Tumblety for the Jack the Ripper murder before Mary Jane Kelly was killed . However , he made bond and take to the woods back to the United States , where Tumblety explain that he had been fascinated by the slaying , and that ’s why he was in Whitechapel .
Tumblety never returned to London or was arrest again asthere was no test copy that he was Jack Ripper(and he was across the pool ) . Additionally , since he was apparently in law custody when Mary Jane Kelly was polish off , it ’s quite improbable that Tumblety was Jack the Ripper . He might not have been an upstanding citizen , but he probably was n’t the man murdering women in Whitechapel in 1888 . So , while some still consider him to be a Jack the Ripper suspect , it ’s almost unacceptable to demonstrate that Tumblety was shamefaced of kill the five women .
2Aaron Kosminski
Many Are Unsure If Aaron Is The Right Kosminski
The fourth Jack the Ripper defendant mentioned inUnsolved Mysteriesvolume 4 , instalment 1 , is Aaron Kosminski . However , the glaring problem with this possibility is that historians are not certain if Aaron Kosminski is the correct Kosminski that the original investigators think could be the serial killer . As state inthe Netflix honest offence telly show , Kosminski pop up a circumstances in police files but is never give a first name . By the magnate of deduction , many believe that they were referencing Aaron Kosminski .
Other popular Jack the Ripper suspects not thoroughly break down inUnsolved Mysteriesvolume 4 , episode 1 , include Carl Feigenbaum , Charles Allen Lechemere , George Chapman , William Grant Grainger , James Kelly , Thomas Cutbush , and several others .
Kosminski was describe as a " Polish Jew who was put into an insane asylum . " By looking at psychiatric hospital records from that time , historians were able to conclude that Aaron Kosminski was the Jack the Ripper defendant note in law enforcement files . Aaron Kosminski live in Whitechapeland was Polish and Judaic , but he did not go to the harebrained asylum until 1891 , three years after the last canonical Jack the Ripper slaying . Many believe thatthere had to have been a concrete understanding why Jack the Ripper discontinue killing(he died , was arrested , etc ) , and Aaron Kosminski does n’t fit that mold .
Nevertheless , Sir Robert Anderson and Chief Inspector Donald Sutherland Swanson ( the two highest - ranking officer who turn on the Jack the Ripper case ) strongly think Kosminski was the murderer . So , it ’s unmanageable to definitively govern Aaron Kosminski as a suspect . The most substantial problem with this theory is thathistorians are not 100 percent indisputable that Aaron Kosminski is the Kosminski .
The Kayla Unbehaun episode of Netflix ’s Unsolved Mysteries is one of the show ’s first successes , as the font was solved due to the serial ' popularity .
1Sir William Withey Gull
Movies & TV Shows Depict Gull As Jack The Ripper
The final suspect discussed inUnsolved Mysteriesvolume 4 , episode 1 , " Who was Jack the Ripper ? , " is Sir William Withey Gull . Gull is the man who is often depicted as Jack the Ripper in moving-picture show and television set shows(includingFrom Hellstarring Johnny Depp and Ian Holm , andJack the Ripperstarring Michael Caine ) . However , the theory environ Gull is plausibly one of the most fascinating ones relate to this one C - old case .
unluckily , althoughUnsolved secret , one of the practiced true criminal offense video show on Netflix , presents a handful of Jack the Ripper suspects , the truth will likely never be unwrap .
As detailed inUnsolved Mysteries , the Royal Conspiracy Theory submit Queen Victoria ’s grandson , Prince Albert Victor , had an affair with a sex prole , resulting in a baby named Alice . Alice ’s nanny was Mary Jane Kelly ( the final Ripper victim ) , who had four supporter — Mary Ann Nichols , Annie Chapman , Elizabeth Stride , and Catherine Eddowes . Together , they blackmail the Crown with Alice ’s being . Then , Gull , the regal MD , was tax with killing all five cleaning woman . Of of course , this theory is more entertaining than it is truthful and has been debunked .
One other glaring trouble with Gull being Jack the Ripper is that he had a stroke two age before the execution . So , it would have been difficult for him to carry out the gruesome crime in Whitechapel . Gull ’s name also does n’t show up in any files about the case , weakening the theory that he commit the murders even more . unluckily , althoughUnsolved closed book , one ofthe best true crime TV shows on Netflix , presents a handful of Jack the Ripper suspects , the truth will likely never be disclose .
