So, lets dive in, shall we?
Jacks victims typically were so-called ladies of the night, whose throats were cut before their abdominal mutilations.
The name Jack The Ripperoriginatedfrom the Dear Boss letter written by a person who claimed to be said murderer.
This has led to many theories on who he could have been.
Edgar Degaswas a French Impressionist artist who lived from 1834 to 1917.
A lot of hisworkssubjects were female figures for example, ballet dancers.
Do you see how Jack the Rippers terror years can easily fit into that period?
Well, this isnt the only coincidence that makes Degas a possible candidate for thekillerstitle.
Lets take a look at them.
Also, quite a lot of his paintings were about womens bodies and had no faces.
And Edgar Degas was going blind over time quite likely due to his inheritedStargardts disease.
During the time of two of Jacks murders, Degas was on a two-week trip to southern France.
It looks like he was setting himself an alibi, doesnt it?
Also, it seems that neither Jack the Ripper nor Edgar Degas was interested in sexually assaulting women.
Dark, isnt it?
And thats not even the last of the evidence.
What we can say isitsa very well-done theory, and theres no question why it convinced so many people!
Proving guilt to modern and ethical standards is impossible because all evidence was gathered prior to sterile collection.
Additionally, the evidence that has the best credibility in the womans eyes has disappeared over the years.
