She met her Assassin between 12:45 a.m - 1.00am.

Elizabeth "Long Liz" Stride (September 1888) is believed to be the
third victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer called Jack
the Ripper, who killed and mutilated prostitutes in the Whitechapel
area of London from late August to early November 1888

She was seen by an eyewitness being attacked by a man who might of
been jack the ripper, and thrown to the ground on the street outside
Dutfield's Yard at around 12:45 a.m.

Elizabeth Stride was killed on the night of the "Double Event" that
saw the murder of Catherine Eddowes less than an hour later.

Stride's body was discovered close to 1:00am in the early morning of Sunday, 30 September 1888, lying on the ground in Dutfield's Yard, off Berner Street in Whitechapel. Elizabeth Stride was 44 years old when she Died.

Theory on Jack the Ripper

What i Learned from this Walk is that each murder site can be reached in under 5 to 10 minutes, And all the murders were commited within the Whitechapel Area.

There is a good possibility that Jack the ripper Lived in the Area, Where all the murders took place.

He was a local man and Known to a lot of People. Someone who Appeared Trustworthy.

He Probably worked in the local pub or a shop.

Maybe the most important evidence is the way the Ripper cut his
victims. When he removed organs from the victims he would dissect
their bodies in the same manner that a trained doctor would have done. To do this in total Darkness, under Tight time constraints is unbelivable.

This shows that Jack the Ripper had some medical Knowledge, To know exactly where to find the organs, and cut them out in one big sweep.

At the time of the murders, When Panic was at a High, when prostitutes were afraid to go out, or even be approached by a Stranger. Somehow The ripper slipped Through this.

This shows he Probably did not look threatening at all, maybe a man that was lady- like "feminine" maybe someone who knew the women.

Who knows, one day we may find the Ripper’s DNA or fingerprints,.. I very well doubt it. 120 years have past, all the Evidence has Long Disappeared.

His Poor victims Lie in cemeteries Across London. And so does Jack the ripper. Maybe somewere in a whitechapel cemetery, or maybe in a paupers Grave.

Thousands of people who visit the Grave yards of London every year, probably walk past the Rippers Grave...Just a thought.

The hunt for the Victorian Killer`s identity by Ripperologists and students will continue for generations to come.
Who knows, one day we may find the Truth to this Mystery.

Whitechapel Murderer in Dorset Street

The next route my walk takes me to is Dorset Street, where
Miller's Court once stood.

The walk from Goulston street to Dorset Street took me just under 4
minutes, which Generally shows that each murder site can be reached in under 10 minutes.

At 2:00 am she is seen in Commercial Street

While standing under a street light near the Queen's Head Public House an eyewitness gets a good look at man with Mary Jane Kelly. He has a pale complexion, a slight moustache turned up at the corners, dark hair, dark eyes.

The man puts his hand on Kelly's shoulder and says something at which Kelly and the man laugh. the eyewitness hears Kelly say "All right." and the man say "You will be all right for what I have told you." The man then puts his right hand on Kelly's shoulder and they begin to walk towards Dorset Street, The couple then head down to Miller's Court.

Mary Jane Kelly was killed on Friday 9 November 1888. Her gruesomely mutilated body was discovered shortly after 10:45 a.m., lying on the bed in the single room where she lived at 13 Miller's Court, off Dorset Street, Spitalfields.

This murder was the most gruesome, Her throat had been severed down to the spine, and her abdomen virtually emptied of its organs. Her heart was missing.
There was slabs of flesh on the side table, her face was mutilated beyound recognition.

This is the doorway to these flats, where fragment of a blood stained apron, matching that cut away from the fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes, was found.

A piece of Eddowes' apron, which the Ripper used to wipe off his
knife, was found by a constable near this doorway that had a chalked
message over the door. "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing",

Jack the Ripper (Hunting Ground)

This route that my walk takes has been designed to get straight into
the area where the murders occurred and give you a better understanding of what the neighbourhood was like when Jack the Ripper stalked the very alleyways and passageways.

Mitre Square is a small, quiet square heading off Mitre Street, Aldgate. It has three entrances: one from Mitre Street, the second leading from Duke Street via the narrow Church Passage, and the third leading from St James's Passage.

Catherine Eddowes had early on been arrested for being drunk & disorderly, At around 1:00 am she was released from the police station.

She turned left out the doorway which took her in the opposite direction of what would have been the fastest way back to Flower and Dean Street. She appears to be heading back toward Aldgate High Street where she had become drunk. On going down Duke Street, and at the end of which was Church Passage which led into Mitre Square is where she met jack the ripper.

Catherine Eddowes like Elizabeth Stride, killed on Sunday 30 September 1888. Her body was found in Mitre Square, in the City of London, three-quarters of an hour after Stride's. her throat was, severed by two cuts, the abdomen was ripped open by a long, deep, jagged wound. The left kidney and the major part of the uterus had been removed. Her and Stride's murders were later called "The Double Event" in the media, and across London.
