If I am not mistaken, our dear Jack may not have been born in England.
My theorie of this is that maybe... Just maybe Mr.Ripper was born some where like Juresulm, Isreal. He may have been lerning English when the murders happend, wich may explane the spelling and gramical erorrs noted in the Ripper Letters.

He might have been born abroad in 1888. Possibly in the U.S. (some of those so-called Ripper letters were written with American slang in them, like "Dear Boss"). He might have been Polish-Russian (if he was, say Chapman or McCormick's questionable Pedechencko or Osrog or Kosminski). He could have been Jewish, as the murders are in a part of London with a large Jewish (and mainly Eastern European Jewish) population. However, he could not have been born in Jerusalem, Israel in 1888. The Kingdom of Israel was destroyed by the Assyrian Empire about 611 B.C., and in that period the southern Jewish Kingdom of Judah had the city of Jerusalem in it's control. Jerusalem would not be part of a country called Israel again until 1948 C.E. when the state of Israel was created again (and it would not be totally reunited until the Six Day War in 1967. In 1888, the city of Jerusalem was part of the Ottoman Empire, in an area called Palestine.

Hey Jack,
Are you sure you arent the author of "The Lusk Letter"? A lot of similarities. All the best.
Paul
P.S. - I dont think the Ripper had spellcheck either. haha |
