From the Autopsy report on Mary Kelly

The body was lying naked in the middle of the bed, the shoulders flat but the axis of the body inclined to the left side of the bed. The head was turned on the left cheek. The left arm was close to the body with the forearm flexed at a right angle and lying across the abdomen.

The right arm was slightly abducted from the body and rested on the mattress. The elbow was bent, the forearm supine with the fingers clenched. The legs were wide apart, the left thigh at right angles to the trunk and the right forming an obtuse angle with the pubes.

The whole of the surface of the abdomen and thighs was removed and the abdominal cavity emptied of its viscera. The breasts were cut off, the arms mutilated by several jagged wounds and the face hacked beyond recognition of the features. The tissues of the neck were severed all round down to the bone.

The viscera were found in various parts viz: the uterus and kidneys with one breast under the head, the other breast by the right foot the liver between the feet, the intestines by the right side and the spleen by the left side of the body. The flaps removed from the abdomen and thighs were on a table.

The bed clothing at the right corner was saturated with blood, and on the floor beneath was a pool of blood covering about two feet square. The wall by the right side of the bed and in a line with the neck was marked by blood which had struck it in a number of separate splashes.

The face was gashed in all directions, the nose, cheeks, eyebrows, and ears being partly removed. The lips were blanched and cut by several incisions running obliquely down to the chin. There were also numerous cuts extending irregularly across all the features.

The neck was cut through the skin and other tissues right down to the vertebrae, the fifth and sixth being deeply notched. The skin cuts in the front of the neck showed distinct ecchymosis. The air passage was cut at the lower part of the larynx through the cricoid cartilage.

Both breasts were more or less removed by circular incisions, the muscle down to the ribs being attached to the breasts. The intercostals between the fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs were cut through and the contents of the thorax visible through the openings.

Mary Kelly as she was found in her bed at 13 Miller's Court. The skin and tissues of the abdomen from the costal arch to the pubes were removed in three large flaps. The right thigh was denuded in front to the bone, the flap of skin, including the external organs of generation, and part of the right buttock. The left thigh was stripped of skin fascia, and muscles as far as the knee.

The left calf showed a long gash through skin and tissues to the deep muscles and reaching from the knee to five inches above the ankle. Both arms and forearms had extensive jagged wounds.

The right thumb showed a small superficial incision about one inch long, with extravasation of blood in the skin, and there were several abrasions on the back of the hand moreover showing the same condition.

On opening the thorax it was found that the right lung was minimally adherent by old firm adhesions. The lower part of the lung was broken and torn away. The left lung was intact. It was adherent at the apex and there were a few adhesions over the side. In the substances of the lung there were several nodules of consolidation.

The pericardium was open below and the heart absent. In the abdominal cavity there was some partly digested food of fish and potatoes, and similar food was found in the remains of the stomach attached to the intestines.


Dr. George Bagster Phillips was also present at the scene, and gave the following testimony at the inquest:

The mutilated remains of a female were lying two-thirds over towards the edge of the bedstead nearest the door. She had only her chemise on, or some under linen garment. I am sure that the body had been removed subsequent to the injury which caused her death from that side of the bedstead that was nearest the wooden partition, because of the large quantity of blood under the bedstead and the saturated condition of the sheet and the palliasse at the corner nearest the partition.

The blood was produced by the severance of the cartoid artery, which was the cause of death. The injury was inflicted while the deceased was lying at the right side of the bedstead.

Regarding Patricia Cornwell's bombastically titled book, Case Closed, she,in fact has solved nothing. In fact she cannot even prove that Sickert was in Whitechapel at all. No serious researcher considers her hyped up book worth the paper it is printed on. Not once has she confronted questioning from any of the serious scholars of this case,rather she fields questions from a "stacked deck" audience of sycophants and people that buy her fiction novels. My suggestion is to spend the money you would have spent on her book,on a charity,subscribe to Ripperologist,or visit sites such as www.jtrforums.com/forums . On second thought,her book has been seen in "bargain bins" at Wal-Mart and K-Mart recently. If the book is under 2 dollars,buy it and use it for a paperweight. She ran a media blitz like a used car salesperson would....and is bogus.

I watched the TV show made to hype the book. All she was able to prove that Sickert 'could' have written some of the hoaxed JTR letters. She certainly didn't close the case - far from it.

I think Patricia Cornwalls evidence, while interesting is only circumstancial at best and she stretches a few of the facts to make them fit her theory. I was always in the Tumblety camp but the fact that he was allegedly homosexual does cast doubt on that theory too (serial killers victims usually stay within their defined group, ie straight kills straight, gay kills gay etc. One thing I believe is that there were more than just the five recorded murders though.

Dear Ubermunche: Not to be a wise guy, but there are far more homosexual serial killers who have killed heteros than what the so-called proessional profilers would have us believe. One interesting aspect of the Ripper Case is the large volume of homosexual suspects,in a male on female crime.

Prince Eddy, J.K. Stephen, Tumblety, Druitt come to mind.

In other cases, Richard Speck,Aileen Wournos,Carl Panzram......Even some homosexuals were married to women,and were s.k.'s ( Baumeister,Gacy ).
Too often the profilers have actually been hinderances in solving crimes ( The recent Louisiana serial killer,though to be White,since his victims were and of course, the D.C.Snipers,where I personally saw a profiler on television state that they "should" be looking for a lone White guy.

It may sound strange,but psychics have actually solved more "unsolvable" crimes than profilers. Strange world, ain't it ?
