Trak; Interesting. o_O

I'll stick to Asian history. @___@

;) Because I'm good. The name of Jack the Ripper was James Kelly, a Leather worker who murdered his wife by carving her up with his leather knife. Contrary to popular belief, the butchery of Jacks crimes was not surgical at all. However, the types of tears we see with their bodies are the same you see when cutting leather. James Kelly had also escaped from the Asylum after fascioning a key to his cell. He then murdered another prostitute. Then, the Ripper murders began. When James Kelly left Britain for the United states, however, the murders stopped- in Britain. Soon after his arrival in New York, a Prostitute was found carved up like the Rippers victims had been in White Chappel. From New York, Kelly began travelling around the USA doing odd jobs, but every town he went to had a "Ripper style killing" as the papers described them. Eventually, Kelly returned to the very asylum he escaped so many years before. When his doctor asked him where he had gone, Kelly only said "I've done terrible terrible things."
He then told them about his travels, and as we look back at the logs of time, we see these other murders always happened in the towns he listed as visiting. Better yet, when you compare the modern sketch of Jack the Ripper based on the descriptions given by witnesses, and compare it to the picture of James Kelly- they are a dead match.
