Dr. Thomas Neill Cream claimed to be the ripper, but he was a poisoner, not a ripper, he was also in prison at the time.

James Kelly was 38 years old at the time and had recently escaped from a mental institution for the killing of his wife. He is the only suspect that can be tabbed in London at the time of all of the murders and also in America where similar killings happened later. He hated prostitutes, whom he believed gave him venerial diseases and women in general. Early on, he was a suspect of the police, but they dropped him when the trail went cold. His image fits that of the man depicted in the London newspaper cartoons.

I believe there were more Ripper murders than given credit for, that they started earlier and ended later in Whitechapel than the five usually presented (there are 11 victims around the time), and that they continued in New York, Texas in Georgia, with Carrie Brown being the first murder victim in America, in New York, died April 24, 1891
