If you don't know who Jack the Ripper was, then here is a brief introduction about him. Jack the Ripper was a serial killer, who got famous because of the way he killed 5 women in London in year 1888. The women he murdered were prostitutes and he mutilated their bodies. However, it is now believed that his identity has been revealed.
Mei Trow, a historian claims that he has discovered the identity of Jack the Ripper by using modern police forensic methods which includes geographical and psychological profiling. He concluded that Jack the Ripper was actually a man named as Robert Mann who was a morgue worker in Whitechapel area where murders took place.
After two years of extensive work, Trow found out the identity of Jack the Ripper. His research stemmed from the information that he got from FBI examination of the Ripper case in 1988 which had produced a comprehensive criminal personality profile. FBI established that Jack was a white male, who belonged to the lower class and had a bad family background.
FBI also evaluated that Jack was a blue collar worker and had some knowledge about human anatomy like butcher, mortuary officer or medical assistant. Jack also lived for a very long time without human interaction which is why he was socially inept. He was from a troubled family and his father was not much around in his life; in his childhood he spent a little time in workhouse.
Trow wanted to go beyond the image of a person with a hat, coat and knife which was always a myth for everyone. Trow established that Jack was an ordinary guy and he also brought forward a startling theory that Jack did not only kill 5 women but he may have killed two more in addition to his confirmed 5 killings.
The bodies of Polly Nichols and Annie Chapman (victims of Jack) along with dead bodies of other two women were taken by police to Whitechapel mortuary where Jack used to work. Robert Mann (Jack the Ripper) was then called by the police to be the witness and confirm the reason of death of Polly Nichols but later on police unaccredited Robert's testimony by stating that Robert's memory has been affected by his fits, which is why it's unreliable.
Another point that made Trow suspect Robert Mann was that he undressed Polly's dead body with the help of his assistant; although he was sternly told by Inspector Spratling to not touch the dead body. According to Trow, this was done by Mann possibly to admire his own horrific work. This research of Trow is the most up to date in a long line of theories which were all about to find out the identity of Jack the Ripper.
