| Tóm tắt: | After 15 years of research, Tully, a Ripperologist, reveals that James Kelly (1860-1929) was the notorious Jack the Ripper. Convicted of killing his wife in 1883 and sentenced to death, Kelly got a reprieve when he was certified insane. He was sent to the Broadmoor Asylum until he escaped on January 23, 1888. He disappeared until he showed up at the gate of the Broadmoor Asylum on February 11, 1927. Officials there claimed they didn't know where he'd been for the past 39 years. Tully's investigation attempts to show otherwise. In trying to prove his case, Tully gets bogged down in providing meticulous details of Jack the Ripper's crimes, including the coroners' inquests on each of the eight victims. His reasons for doing so are to point out that one victim, Elizabeth Stride, was not killed by Jack the Ripper but by someone else who made it look that way. Although most of the files have been made public, we will have to wait until 2030 to see whether Tully has correctly identified Prisoner 1167 (the number assigned to Kelly at Broadmoor) as Jack the Ripper. |
