A COMPELLING TRUE STORY.
This site is about Francis Thompson as a Jack the Ripper suspect. He was a poet who had trained as a surgeon for 6-years at a prestigious medical school before one coroner of the murders concluded that Jack the Ripper must have had considerable anatomical skill and knowledge.
Right before the murders of these prostitutes, Thompson broke up with one and wrote about killing women of that profession. He was carrying a razor sharp knife, showed signs of severe mental illness and he was known to police.
Just with these facts, there is no other suspect, or anyone living or dead, anywhere in the world, pointing so strongly to being the Ripper.
Fact. After 3 years as a vagrant in London, Thompson had only been living four nights in a refuge when, a minute walk away, the Ripper killed his last victim. It was reported that London’s City Police might have interviewed him, but his ex-boss vouched for him and he was let go.
Within a few days of the slaying, Thompson was put in isolation at a distant monastery. He spent the rest of his life under observation or at secluded country retreats where he succumbed to drug addiction and wrote.
After his death in 1907, his editors, portraying him as an innocent victim of the streets, made a fortune from his books. Although members of Thompson’s own family felt he was the Ripper.
In 1988, a century after the murders, a Texan forensic pathologist, who made the discovery accidentally, published an article in the Criminologist named, 'Was Francis Thompson Jack the Ripper?’
In courts of law dealing in major crimes circumstantial evidence is much more powerful than direct when the coincidences points clearly toward guilt.
After decades of global research, no fact yet found does not point to the reasonable conclusion that he was the Ripper.
