Jack the Ripper the First Serial Killer

For decades the crimes of Jack the Ripper have inspired both horror and intrigue. Theories abound as to the identity of the killer, but few are based on facts. This film follows Laura Richards, of New Scotland Yard’s Violent Crime Directorate, as she re-opens the case of Jack the Ripper. With the benefits of modern criminology and psychological analysis, and the aid of Britain’s best detectives. Jack The Ripper: The First Serial Killer follows Richards as she combines her expertise as a behavioural analyst with the talents of Britain’s top pathologists, sociologists, criminologists, detectives and experts on the Jack the Ripper case to reinvestigate one of history’s greatest unsolved crimes. It is the first time that a modern professional detective team have gone back to the evidence and applied such a broad range of modern police techniques. The results completely change our understanding of Jack the Ripper, providing a detailed profile of the kind of person he was, where he lived and what he looked like. Although famed as a ‘Ripper’, the film reveals that ‘Jack’ strangled his victims to death. He would cut them open and leave his signature only after they had died. The film debunks the myths that have grown around the Ripper. There is no evidence that he had any medical training, or that he was an ‘English Gentleman’ with a predilection for murder. Although more than two hundred suspects have been suggested as the Ripper, none of them match the kind of person modern detectives believe committed these horrifying crimes. Laura Richards reveals an even more shocking reality – in his daily life, the man behind the Ripper would have appeared a normal member of society. Geographic profiling is used to uncover the location where the Ripper is likely to have lived. Based on the latest insights from studies in the field of serial offenders, the team conclude that the Ripper was a resident of the area in which he killed. The team carry out DNA testing on a shawl believed to have been owned bythe Ripper’s fourth victim, and worn on the night of her murder, in order to discover if the Ripper’s blood can be found – this is the only possible physical evidence left from the case. Finally, modern techniques are used to reveal an accurate E-Fit portrait of the Ripper. In the autumn of 1888 Jack the Ripper launched an unparalleled reign of terror onto the streets of London, leaving at least five women severely mutilated. To this day the case remains one of history’s greatest mysteries: motiveless, unmatched in brutality, a gallery of celebrity suspects, and still unsolved. No-one was ever charged with Whitechapel murders of 1888. Jack was the first modern serial killer; the investigation was the first to be conducted under a media spotlight which sensationalised the murders and put pressure on the police. The fact that the case involved an un-paralleled level of brutality, coupled with the fact that it was never solved, has ensured that it still holds a fascination today. Drawing together a team who are all experts in their field she sets all the suspects aside, and focuses her attention on what the crimes have to say about the killer. Pathologist Peter Dean assists in wound interpretation; Don Rumbelow, historian and world authority on the Ripper case, reveals the appalling poverty of the Whitechapel ghetto, the backdrop to this case; Kim Rossmo, inventor of the discipline of geographic profiling, examines the meaning of the locations that the killer chose for his crimes; and John Grieve, perhaps the most respected ex-cop in Britain today, retraces the steps of the Ripper on the night when the police chased the killer through the streets of London, and two women were killed within the space of one hour. As Laura Richards sifts through the details of the victims’ lives to understand how they came to be targeted, she explains that ‘the more you know about how someone lived, the more you know about how they died’. She decodes the injuries left on their bodies to uncover what drove the Ripper, looking for ‘his signature… his fantasy base’. She builds a picture of a man who was perfectly sane, frighteningly normal, and yet capable of extraordinary cruelty. The result brings her closer than anyone has ever been to understanding the Ripper. For the first time, we are able to understand the kind of person Jack the Ripper was; we can name the street where he probably lived; and we can see what he looked like; and we can explain, finally, why this killer eluded justice. If the techniques available to Laura Richards and her team had been available to the Met in 1888, the mystery of Jack the Ripper could have been solved. As John Grieve says of this new investigation, ‘this is further than anyone else has got… it would have been enough for coppers to get out, and start knocking on doors… they’d have got him’.
