Slide 8 - Quiz

Who do I think it was?
I believe that Jack the Ripper was really a man named Joseph Barnett. He was Mary's  "boyfriend" at the time of the killings. I think it makes perfect sense that joseph killed the 4 victims to warn Mary to stop her  prostetution.He wanted her to stop, but it was her only way of earning money when joseph lost his job. Him then killing Mary when she failed to stop makes perfect sense. This is the only theory that perfectly explains the sudden stop of the murders, Therefore making it the most reliable.
