Jack the Ripper - Q+A

- Hello and welcome to another edition of BuzzFeed Unsolved Post-Mortem. A show where we answer your
most pressing questions about the most recent episode of BuzzFeed Unsolved which was Jack the Ripper. All the questions we're answering today came from you guys via our BuzzFeed Unsolved Facebook page and our BuzzFeed Unsolved Instagram page. - Welcome.

(Laughing) Yeah I'm just saying
you're not really giving this episode the fan fare it deserves because it's the
beginning of a new season. Be excited. - How...
- Yeah better, better. - Awe man.

I can't wait to
dig into these questions. - Yeah, okay. We'll start with a question
from Heather_dittmarr, First of all where did
the beloved wheeze go? It was just lots of laughter which I love but I can't be the only one
that wants the wheeze back. Second of all you guys are great and I am so excited for
more episodes this season.

Hashtag bring the wheeze back. - I wasn't even aware there
wasn't a wheeze in this one. - You know we're not
going to cram a wheeze in there if it doesn't belong. - Okay, that's a guarantee
from the ride guy.

No artificial wheezes. - This is the season of genuine wheezin. Put that down there. Whew.

- Wow.
- That's what it is. - Okay this one comes from
Facebook this is Ellie Faulds. I can't take credit for
this but I strongly believe that the most likely Jack
the Ripper is actually the witness to the "Polly"
Nichols murder, Charles Cross. - Polly Nipples?
- Polly Nichols.

- Nichols. - Not Polly Nipples. What? - I don't remember the
names in this story. - So you actually thought one of the victim's name was Polly Nipples? - I don't know what, who has what name.

- Okay let's just start
from the beginning here. The body of Mary Anne Nichols was found in Buck's Row by a man
named Charles Cross. Who claims he was walking along Buck's Row when he noticed a bundle
toward the western end. Another man named Robert Paul approached the body with Cross.

Some people think that
Robert Paul was actually walking in on Charles
Cross disturbing the body doing the Jack the Ripper thing. - I know when he showed up
he just sort of went, oh. - Oh, shit there's a dead body. - Oh, it's a dead lady alright.

- He doesn't have the mental disposition that it would take to
do these crimes though, if you look at him. And nothing suggested that he would be capable of doing these kinds of crimes. - Ah. - Also he didn't have
the medical know how.

- I mean unless he just studied
up on it in his free time. - He just went on Google? - That's true. (Laughing) Moving on. Back on over to Gram Town from joannahami.

This episode was quite long
in comparison to some others. Will that be the norm for this season? Please say yes. - Some of the cases that
we cover this season will be a little bit longer. Especially because we do some recreations in some of the episodes.

You saw that in the trailer. So I'm pretty excited about that. Working with some cool directors. - [Shane] Yeah - Yeah, it's gonna be good.

- Watch this season. (Laughing)
- Yeah. Alright here's Facebook this
is Arlene D Castro Diaz. What's your thoughts about HH Holmes? I interned at the
University of Pennsylvania, yes I saw and held his bones.

It was pretty awesome. - What? What? (Laughing) - And earlier that spring they
dug him up from his grave. From the data they obtained
it's pretty close to Jack the Ripper's measurements. And it's claimed that Jack
the Ripper fled London and started his murders back
up in the United States.

Alright I saw a lot of people asking me why I didn't include HH Holmes. The reason being is the main case against HH Holmes is very circumstantial. People claim that his handwriting was similar to the Jack
the Ripper letters, but all the Jack the Ripper
letters are unconfirmed. HH Holmes put people in
rooms where he would like, you know, put them down
a little murder slide.

He wasn't going up to them mutilating them taking organs out. The methodology is so starkly different - [Shane] Yeah. - That it doesn't line up. I think that it's really weird that people seem to think that killers are part of this cinematic universe.

- Like they've got their
own little bat cave. - Like they're the fucking
Avengers or something. There could be multiple, uh, disturbed people out
there at any given time. They're not all the same person.

- That's a good answer. - Thanks. Good. - Here's from shigatsu_22.

I don't know if you guys noticed, but around 9:48 to 9:52 there's a guy running in the background. It looks like he appeared out of nowhere. Could it be a shadow of Jack the Ripper? Wrong season. - [Voice On Video] This
was just, like I said, 45 minutes after a murder had just happened.

- I think just maybe it maybe one of the many people that were walking around the metropolitan area of London. - London's a pretty hot spot for people. - This one comes from
Facebook, Asimina Krtz. Question for Post-Mortem.

I agree with the theory that
Barnett had a good motive and that makes him the
most convincing option, but why did not someone
questioned the fact that Jack took the organs of those women? If it was Barnett, why
do something like that? Or any of the other suspects? There's really no
definitive answer for that. We don't really know why
they do what they do. We just learn their
methodology so we can try to understand them and maybe catch them. If I had an answer for that I feel like I would need to go
to a very dark place.

Uh, he was a fish porter. I don't know and he had the circumstance. - What the fuck does that mean? - Well he could cut things up. - Oh, okay.
- Is what I was getting at.

His circumstance was
definitely most compelling. He lived with Mary Kelly. He hated prostitution,
um, I've also seen people think that maybe he killed Mary Kelly but he didn't kill the other four. I'm pretty confident he
killed Mary Kelly, I suppose.

- Alright. - Do you remember Joseph Barnett? - Yeah he was the one that lived with her the real bad guy, possibly,
uh, Jack the Ripper. (Laughing)
Who's a suspect. - Moving on to Facebook again this is from Krystal Leigh Rose Gaytan.

I feel like the female suspect
wasn't given much thought. The midwife theory makes a lot of sense. The women would've walked into her trap because she was not just
another woman but a midwife. I feel like in that prostitute profession the midwife would be
someone you would trust.

It would've been easy for her to murder, walk about after the murders,
and had some anatomical sense. Parenthetical the wombs. Ahh, murder mysteries, gotta love 'em. - I like that.

- When it comes to this
Jill the Ripper theory I think it's a good theory. I think it's possible, but
the one thing I just keep going back to is all the eye
witness testimony is a man. You know? - Yeah but how hard is it
to look like a man, baby? - Because a big part
of this theory is that she's a women therefore
she's approachable. These prostitutes wouldn't suspect.

- They wouldn't approach
a women dressed like - A man because he's a man. - Cartoon Man. Yeah it doesn't add up. Alright I tried to give it
the benefit of the doubt.

- There's really nothing
concrete to go off of it. It's just a thought. (Stomach growling) What do you think tummy? Oh, good. - That responded just like the flashlight in the Sally House.

- I think my tummy thinks Jill
the Ripper is a good theory. - I think your tummy's got a demon. Back to Gram Town from Moondustmisfit. Great Episode.
- Wow what a name.

- Yeah it's pretty good. Moon dust misfit. - That sounds like an Indie band that would appear at 1 pm in Coachella. (Laughing)
- Very good.

Great episode. As a Finnish person I love the way Ryan incorrectly pronounced Jari Louhelainen. - Dr. Louhelainen.

I thought it was Jari Louhelainen. - Lou-ha-lain-en. - Jari Louhalainen. - Lou-ha-lanen.
- Lou-ha-lion.

- Lou-lou-lou. - Dr. Lou-he-lain-en. I'm gonna mispronounce
things, that's just what I do.

- That's his bread and butter, baby. - It's what I'm best at but do know that I am looking these things up. Sometimes my research leads
me to the wrong pronunciation. - Well you got this Finnish
person just laughing at you.

- I'm glad I could give you a good laugh. - A good chuckle.
- You gotta... - Break a chuckle.
- Break a chuckle. Good ref.

- Ryan, what do we have
coming up this week? - This week we have a
very exciting episode. It's very different
tonily than most Unsolved episodes you guys have seen in the past. Should I give away what
the subject matter is? - It's a heist. - Okay well yeah you just
answered the question.

Also, as some of you have
noticed and tweeted at us, the show is now on Hulu and Amazon video. So that's pretty cool. (Party horns) A large part of that
is because of you guys, so thank you for helping
us get to Hulu and Amazon. That's pretty awesome.

From me, the big guy, and
the whole Unsolved team thank you for the support. - Now if you recommend
the show to someone, you don't have to say it's
specifically a YouTube show. - Yeah, you could say
- Check it out on Hulu. - And after you could watch uh, - Uh, ER.

- You could watch ER 'cause
those are just like PB and J. - PB and J. - The boys and Clooney. Make sure you watch the episode of BuzzFeed Unsolved this Friday.

Send in your questions after that to the BuzzFeed Unsolved Facebook page and the, we just touched hands
there that was strange, and the Instagram page. And then we'll be sure
to answer them on the next BuzzFeed Unsolved Post-Mortem. - And for those of you who haven't watched Post-Mortem before, we do a fun thing at the
end of every episode. Where we just do a fun
quick little animation.

- Wait a second.
- And here's, So tune in every week, you
wanna stick around for this. 'Cause it's always very funny, short. - Why.
- Nothin' going on. So here comes a funny little holographic corn running across the screen.

Isn't that funny? That's all, that's all. - I don't even remember,
did the hotdoga end? - [Man Singing] Come
with jizz all raccoon. - Uh?
- Did it end? - The hotdoga? - [Man Singing] It's hard to relish life. - Did that, is it over? I can't remember.

- [Hot Dog Voice] It's still
a witch heart ding bats. (Screaming) - Oh, you want more? - No, I don't want more, I'm just curious. 'Cause I always,
- You didn't want it to end, I see.
- No, no that's not it. - Okay, well.
- No, no, no.

- Alright, let's see.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let's end the episode there. - Okay. - Funny little corn, ha-ha-ha.

Good stuff. - Funny little corn, you like the corn? - Oh my God that door
just opened on it's own. - It's not a ghost Brian,
it's just a person. (Mysterious music).
