other women who confronted Jack the Ripper and were not assaulted because the location was not secure enough. Post-offense behavior would: include returning to an area where he could wash his hands of blood and remove his Clothing. We would not expect him to inject himself into the police investigation or provide bogus information. | Jack the Ripper hunted nightly for his victims. When he could not find another, he returned to the locations where he killed his previous victims. If the victims were buried locally, he would visit the gravesites of his victims during the early morning hours for the purpose of reliving his lust murders. Jack the Ripper would not have committed suicide after the last homicide. Generally, when crimes such as these cease, it is because he came close to being identified, was interviewed by police, or was arrested for some other type of offense. As stated previously in this report, we would be surprised if Jack the Ripper would suddenly stop. However, we've seen this happen before and generally it has been because of the above-stated reasons, INVESTIGATIVE AND/OR PROSECUTIVE TECHNIQUES Jack the Ripper would be best suited to be interviewed during the early morning hours. He would feel more relaxed and secure to confess to the homicides. He would feel more relaxed to express himself by writing about his motivation for killing the women. He would not be visibly shaken or upset if directly accused of the homicides. However, he would be psychologically and physiologically stressed if confronted with the fact that he became personally soiled by the victims' blood. Jack the Ripper believed the homicides were justified and he was only removing perishable items--who were like garbage.
