A couple of years back, a group claimed to have solved the Ripper case. They took DNA from some semen found on one of the victims' shawl (a shawl taken from the crime scene by a policeman where it was kept as a memento/heirloom by his family for generations) and the DNA matched/was consistent with the maternal line of the least interesting (but most likely) of all the suspects, Aaron Kosminski, the unbathed paranoid schizophrenic loner who was in & out the "Lunatic Asylum." Later, other scientists said the results were unreliable. So it officially remains unsolved.

Question: Anybody here knew the murders were sexually motivated, meaning that JTR would bust a nut?

It now seems obvious since JTR was approaching hookers, but it's never been portrayed including "his" sex acts, to my knowledge, in documentaries or movies. I always thought of him as a classic asexual shadowy movie slasher figure preying on the vunerable or as some angry nut that cuts up female genitalia cuz he hated his mother or something. This dude was getting bj's or jerking off to it, before and/or after the murders.

Thanks. I like Lemmino. Just discovered his channel a couple of months ago. Good content.

I wrote a short story years ago about how the ripper wasn’t one single person, but a malevolent spirit that possessed people to kill, and that the newspaper’s naming him created a Tulpa.

I had the whole long thing written on pieces of cardboard.

Which my mom then washed while I was staying at their house while working a particularly early shift so my kids could stay with me.

Always regretted that. It was a fun story

I’d always heard that they thought it was a doctor cutting women up for research purposes.

The Ripper is a highly underrated Judas Priest song, also.

Almost all serial killers get off to their deeds

Two things of relevance

1) Someone of low class /working class could move within the circle of victims easily without being noticed


2) The killings were all brutal, but had a meticulous quality. As a particle forensic psych , my belief is that the killer had a degree of :

Skill
Pissed off at women
Patience
Some intelligence


Komenski fits the profile. I don’t think it was sexual. The sex aspect is about “power “ —DTL is a perfect aspect. This was more about hate for women. He prayed upon hookers bc of opportunity. My guess is if you look close enough, Komwbski beat his wife, mom, gf, sister , someone female or was severely beaten by one. Crime of hate , not sex.

It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive (sex vs power), look at the Yorkshire Ripper, he was most definitely a mix of the two.

The victims were all prostitutes if memory serves. Evidence collection and chain of custody were not part of police work at that time. His ejaculation specimen may belong to TulaneLSU for all we know.

Don’t disagree about Yorkshire or your statement per se, just saying that these crimes seem to be more hate of women and opportunity (hookers maybe) oriented. Clearly a predator has his /her prey of choice and method of dispatch. Crime indicates hatred of women and opportunity more than a sex crime.

Well, the semen definitely confirms sex was involved. So it could’ve been a mix.
