Was Kosminski Jack the Ripper?

This was about as comprehensive a deconstruction of a case against as it’s possible to conceive, Mr. Stow. I used to think Aaron Kosminski a viable suspect — not anymore. Excellent research and very cogently argued.

If we can't even identify the correct Kosminski there's no way we can attribute the murders to him.

It’s ironic his Andersons book came out in 1910 when Lechmere was still alive, I wander if he ever saw it or even read it, if he did he probably laughed inside.

Top notch stuff as always Mr. Stow. Keep it coming!

42:30 “ in the Victorian period, mental illness and serial killing were both poorly understood” That sums up the case against Kosminski

no one suspected Lechmere because he was normal and i suspect he kept killing

Thank you for another great video Edward can't wait for the next one

Makes my month when House of Lechmere uploads! 👏 Many thanks and I look forward to watching 🤗🙌

This is what I like about your content, Edward, and your friend Christer Holmgren's: you not only put forth the evidence for Lechmere's guilt, you take pains to explain why the police missed him in the first place. With every other suspect, people are grasping at straws now, just as Swanson and Anderson were back then. That "it was the crazy Jewish immigrant from Poland" remains the most "mainstream" theory on the Ripper's identity is just mind-boggling to me.

Keep em coming bro another excellent job as always. Idk how I missed two new videos but I’m happy now I can binge em at work

It's amazing to me with all the notable "Ripperologists" out there, none of them agree on any suspect. I have to admit that's part of the reason I find all the research so interesting.

With 30 years of forensic psychiatric nursing experience I agree completely that while any one of the frenzied attacks could have been the result of someone in the depths of psychosis a series of such murders would suggest the complete opposite! To suggest someone with a severe disabling mental illness would then only murder during periods of mental stability when they would need to be a sadistic sexual psychopath is highly unlikely and I can think of no such cases.

Love the snark mr.Stow! One day and one night to investigate six murders lol! Outstanding work as usual!

Fantastic video once again can we applaud Ed on his incredible work and time he puts in to these videos always fascinating and so well put together!

I believe jack was calm, cool, calculating, and intelligent. He was not mad just bad!

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! KEEP UPLOADING THEY ARE SO NICE! Now for real, you are the only person I know that keeps bringing new questions to this subject the others are just asking the same questions for no reason. It's not like they are going to ever solve the case by doing the same things over again.

Thank you for visiting the locations and providing a "just the facts," style of narration. You are so good at this, should you conclude with your investigations, and you want to continue this style of reporting, please consider going through the Annotated Sherlock Holmes and discuss the real cases that inspired many of the Sherlock Holmes stories, perhaps in a second channel. I don't know if it's of interest to you, but even a tour of all the stories, inspired by true crime or not, would be extremely entertaining for a very large audience and you have the style of delivery that would make it thoroughly enjoyable.

Always happy when a new video comes out to watch.

You have a real career as a researcher! Well done!!

Mary Kelly would have known Jack the Ripper. Letting him into her house ? I don't think she would have let just anyone into her house. They would have had to look a person of means at least.
