Betwenn the years 1888 and 1891 happened eleven separate murders.Jack the Ripper attacks typically who lived and worked at th East side of London, the method used to kill them was cut their necks before the abdominal mutilations.He remove internal organs from at least three of the victims led to proposals that their killer had some anatomical or surgical knowledge (probably a doctor or a surgeon).Five victims—Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—are known as the "canonical five" and their murders between 31 August and 9 November 1888 are often considered the most likely to be linked. The murders were never solved, and the legends surrounding them became a combination of genuine historical research, folklore, and pseudohistory. The term "ripperology" was coined to describe the study and analysis of the Ripper cases. There are now over one hundred theories about the Ripper's identity, and the murders have inspired many works of fiction.The murders were never solved.

Nichols' body was discovered at about 3:40 a.m. on Friday 31 August 1888 in Buck's Row,Whitechapel. Several other incisions on the abdomen were caused by the same knife. Chapman's body was discovered at about 6 a.m. on Saturday 8 September 1888 near a doorway in the back yard with same cuts. Stride and Eddowes were killed in the early morning of Sunday 30 September 1888.The cause of death was one clear-cut incision which severed the main artery on the left side of the neck. Eddowes' body was found in Mitre Sqaure an the three-quarters of an hour after Stride's. The throat was severed and the abdomen was ripped open by a long, deep, jagged wound. The left kidney and the major part of the uterus had been removed. Kelly's mutilated and disemboweled body was discovered lying on the bed in the single room where she lived at 13 Miller's Court, off Dorset Street, at 10:45 a.m. on Friday 9 November 1888.The coincidence in the crimes is that they were all at night on or close to a weekend, either at the end of a month or a week (or so) after.The mutilations became increasingly severe as the series of murders proceeded, except for that of Stride, whose attacker may have been interrupted.Nichols was not missing any organs; Chapman's uterus was taken; Eddowes had her uterus and a kidney removed and her face mutilated; and Kelly's body was eviscerated and her face hacked away, though only her heart was missing from the crime scene.

The investigator responsible for the cases was Mr. Frederik Abberline. The surviving police files on the Whitechapel murders allow a detailed view of investigative procedure.A large team of policemen conducted house-to-house inquiries throughout Whitechapel. Forensic material was collected and examined. Suspects were identified, traced, and either examined more closely or eliminated from the inquiry. Police work follows the same pattern today. More than 2,000 people were interviewed, "upwards of 300" people were investigated, and 80 people were detained.
