While many are familiar with Jack the Ripper and are aware that his actual identity has never been confirmed, what may be surprising to some is how many “false alarms” have surfaced over the years. William Henry Bury is such an individual… or is he? An internet search will return much concerning this potential “Ripper”. I wonder if this case will ever be resolved to any degree of certainty??? Please enjoy the following report found in the Kansas City Daily Journal for February 12, 1889 ^[1]: ^[2]

I think Bury is the likeliest candidate on the evidence there is surrounding him and the murders in general. Sadly there isn’t enough evidence to be able to conclusively pin the London murders to him but he definately murdered his wife.
