Hi! Columbus GA is my hometown. I have lived here most of my life. There is a picture that accompanies the Carlton Gary profile; I don't know if that picture is supposed to be Carlton Gary, but I assure you it is not. I do have a question I'd like to ask on another matter, but I will wait until I hear from you about this. Thank you. Snail

Elizabeth Stride, the third canonical ripper victim.
Elizabeth Stride was born Elisabeth Gustafsdotter on November 27, 1843 on a farm called Stora Tumlehed in Torslanda parish, north of Gothenburg, Sweden.
At the time of her death she was 45 years old. She had a pale complexion, light gray eyes and had curly dark brown hair. All the teeth in her lower left jaw were missing and she stood five foot five inches tall.
On a Certificate of Change notice filed in Sweden at the time that Liz moved to London it is stated that she could read tolerably well but had little understanding of the Bible or catechism.
Lodgers described her as a quiet woman who would do a “good turn for anyone.” However she had frequently appeared before the Thames Magistrate Court on charges of being drunk and disorderly, sometimes with obscene language.

Annie Chapman aka Dark Annie, Annie Siffey, Sievey or Sivvey - The second canonical victim of Jack the Ripper.
Description:
- 5’ tall
- 47 years old at time of death
- Pallid complexion
- Blue eyes
- Dark brown wavy hair
- Excellent teeth (possibly two missing in lower jaw)
- Strongly built (stout)
- Thick nose
- She was under-nourished and suffering from a chronic disease of the lungs (tuberculosis) and brain tissue. It is said that she was dying (these could also be symptoms of syphilis).
- Although she has a drinking problem she is not described as an alcoholic.
Her friend Amelia Palmer described her as “sober, steady going woman who seldom took any drink.” She was, however, known to have a taste for rum.
Albert Fish: “We had lunch. Grace sat on my lap and kissed me. I took her to an empty house in Westchester I had already picked out. When we got there, I told her to remain outside. She picked wildflowers. I went upstairs and stripped all my clothes off. I knew if I did not, I would get her blood on them. When all was ready I went to the window and called her. Then I hid in the closet until she was in the room. When she saw me all naked she began to cry and tried to run down the stairs. I grabbed her, and she said she would tell her mama. First I striped her naked. How she did kick, bite and scratch. I choked her to death, then cut her into small pieces so I could take my meat to my rooms, cook and eat it. How sweet and tender her little ass was roasted in the oven. It took me nine days to eat her entire body. I did not fuck her, though I could have, had I wished. She died a virgin.”
“I always had a desire to inflict pain on others and to have others inflict pain on me. I always seemed to enjoy everything that hurts. The desire to inflict pain, that is all that is uppermost… What a thrill that will be if I have to die in the electric chair. It will be the supreme thrill. The only one I haven’t tried…. I am Christ! I am Christ!”
