How+It+Happened

Well we belive that a man named Joseph Barnett is the person behind jack the ripper.We think it is joseph because he maches the diecriptions to what people say is is what jack the ripper. Even though the're are many suspects this is who we think murdered the people. Most of his murders were on the roads in alleys. This promotes Joseph’s reason to be Jack the Ripper. The people murdered by the ripper were supposedly “gutted like fish”. It turns out most of the Barnett’s family were fish porters. This included Joseph. Joseph also sleep with a pent knife under his pillow. On the victims the cuts from certain bodys could be deciphered as pent knife wounds. Joe was angered that he lost his job off the street as a fish porter. He made his wife, Kate have to go by herself to be able to have a job to keep her house and things. He did not like this at all so he tried to scare her off the streets so she would be all to himself and keep it a secret. Joseph Barnett was not described as a Ripper suspect until the 1970s, when Bruce Paley first introduced the idea to some colleagues. It was independently forwarded by Mark Andrews in The Return of Jack the Ripper (1977), a fictionalization of the crimes. Paley first published a factual article describing the theory in the magazine.
