On August 31st; the first known Ripper victim fell. Her name was Mary Ann Nichols, but went by the name of Polly. Ms. Nichols was found dead on Buck's Row, just north of Whitechapel Road. Her throat carried the famous Ripper trademark.

Annie Chapman was the third victim. She was murdered in the early morning hours of September 8th at 29 Hanbury Street, again in the Whitechapel district.

By now, panic and terror swept through Whitechapel. Everyone was being careful. The ladies were now more worried about the strange murders going on rather than plying their trades as prostitutes. Extra police patrols were ordered to walk the streets of Whitechapel to keep the women safe.

The Central News Agency received a letter dated September 25, 1888. It was the famous "Dear Boss" letter. The police were informed of this letter and after reading it; held it from the public for awhile. Within that letter, there was a promise to cut off the ears of the next victim. The police wasn't certain if this letter was another prank or if it was indeed from the real Ripper. They would have their answer just a few days later.

Shortly after midnight on September 30th; the Ripper struck again. This time it was in an alley way off of Berner Street. The victim was Elizabeth Stride, but Ms. Stride was not caught off guard as the other victims had been. She struggled with her assailant, but it was too late. Her throat was still slit wide open from ear to ear. Ms. Stride's struggle may have been heard.

Although it was almost 1:00AM; there was a club that operated in the alley way. People were leaving and the Ripper was almost caught. He fled away. Witnesses spotted two men with the victim. Each one fled away. However, this victim did not have her ears cut off as was promised in the Dear Boss letter.

The Ripper now may have been on his own; his accomplice in crime had to flee away. It was about an hour later that Katherine Eddowes was spotted by several men leaving the nearby Imperial Club. They said she was with a foreign looking man, about 30 years old, and about 5" 7". That was about 1:35AM.

At 1:45PM, officer Watkins entered Mitre Square. There he found the body of Katherine Eddowes. She had been brutally butchered and some of her organs had been cut out. She was missing one of her ears; Jack's promise came true. Indeed, the Dear Boss letter was now an authentic handwriting sample of the Ripper himself. He had only about a ten minute time frame to perform his "operation" on Ms. Eddowes. Still, he had cut out most of her organs and took her left kidney as a souvenir.

After the double murder, the panic and terror only grew. Police patrols were again increased as more and more panic saturated through Whitechapel. It would be quiet for the next month. The Ripper probably had a hard time finding victims to torture. He was now responsible for four or five murders. None of the Whitechapel prostitutes worked the streets alone. They started pairing up and staying indoors until this maniac was caught. It would be hard for Jack to victimize anyone.

But Jack was not done yet. On November 9th; he met Mary Jane Kelly. Mary had a bedsit, or a single room she lived in at 13 Miller's Court. They went there. Within the privacy of her home; he had plenty of time to have his fun. The murder sight is one of the most gruesome police photos ever taken. Her heart was never found. The Ripper took her body parts and spread them all around that room. The next morning; a friend came to visit and found the corpse.

Again, Whitechapel returned to a sheer state of terror. This would last into the early part of the following year. Even so; the Ripper would never be heard from again. There have been other murders which occurred after the Mary Kelly murder which some people believe were committed by the Ripper. But he is credited with just the last five on this list as being certain Ripper victims.

What do you think? Do you think Jack the Ripper kept on killing but perhaps changed his modus operandi just enough to confuse the police? Was Mary Kelly really his last victim? And if so, then why did he dissappear just as suddenly as he originally appeared? What happened to Jack the Ripper? And of course the biggest question; who is Jack the Ripper?

These questions have been plaguing the world since the Ripper went on his rampage. He is still as famous as when he committed these incredible murders over a hundred years ago. He is so popular that there are Ripperologists; people who follow the case and even try to solve it themselves. There are numerous books and several movies about this case.

Mr. Goodwin utilized his investigative skills in reviewing the evidence and documentation of the case. Without the ability to examine the victims, the crime scenes, investigate the witnesses firsthand, Chase only had his investigative skills to rely upon. Even with the odds incredibly against him; Chase pursued the evidence including the coroner's reports, the eye witness accounts, and other factual evidence.

Chase utilized his incredible handwriting analysis skills to portray the personality and character traits of the Ripper from the authentic handwritten Ripper samples. Along with his expert graphology skills; Chase was able to detail further points about the Ripper that seems to have been overlooked by Scotland Yard and other experts involved in trying to solve this case.

Mr. Goodwin utilizes deductive reasoning from his legal and private investigative background to assist in his case work. The added element of deductive reasoning, and working "backwards" to solve mysteries like a detective; enabled Chase to develop an accurate theory of the Ripper case. His original theory developed in November of 2002 was proven perfectly accurate when he was able to conclusively match his prime suspect to the Ripper handwritings.

This case exemplifies our great reputation for finely detailed document examination and analysis. Mr. Goodwin was able to identify about 120 matching traits between the Ripper documents and those of the suspect; thus clearly proving his conclusions. Many of these matching traits were so inconspicuous that Mr. Goodwin had to enlarge portions of the documents and then using a magnifying glass, measured letter strokes and letter portions at 1/128" increments.

Finally, on January 30, 2005; Chase Goodwin finished his Jack the Ripper report conclusively solving the case. Chase prepared an intensive and finely detailed QDE report which proves teh identity of Jack the Ripper. The report is 1268 pages long and thoroughly analyzes all the pertinent evidence.
