As you can tell by the words he expressed towards the end of his letter, how cold hearted and methodical he was in regard to the crimes he committed. A man of the shadows a person who can walk out the mist of darkness, Jack the Ripper was only to strike out at any time, only to disappear without a trace. .

Ms. Elizabeth Stride, Long Liz as she was called, was born in Gothenburg, Sweden on November of 1843. She was named Elizabeth Gustafsdotter; however Elizabeth became as London would call a registered prostitute. Elizabeth gave birth to one daughter who was stillborn. Elizabeth moved to London in 1866, where she met and married a carpenter named John Thomas Stride. Supposedly living on Gower Street in London, the Strides allegedly kept a coffee shop prior to the break down of their marriage in 1882. Elizabeth was arrest several times, for public drunkenness before her fatal appointment with Jack the Ripper. Elizabeth's throat was slash from ear to ear. Could it be that he was getting slack or was it that he was almost caught red handed committing cold-blooded murder? Once again, he eluded the authorities by disappearing into the.
shadow's of the night. Elizabeth Stride was laid to rest in a pauper's grave in East London Cemetery. She was only 44 years old at the time of her death.
By now London's Officials have become very aroused to how could such brutal murders take place without any evidence leading to this horrid creature. "Why haven't we caught him yet one detective commented". One clue that baffled Officials was the burial of Annie Chapman. Why she was buried in secret for a woman living on the street? Annie Chapman's funeral was kept quiet. To this day that question is still unanswered but as we look back on that fatal day, Jack the Ripper claimed two lives. The body of Catherine Eddowes was discovered brutally butchered at 1:45 am. By this time the killer to the Authorities speculated the assailant was a skilled murderer a person who knows which way to dissect his victims.
