Topic awaiting preservation: Right out of a movie...

Has anyone heard this story? A man was found dead with a slit down his chest missing his heart and liver and a few other internal organs? I'm trying to find a link but I can't seem to grasp one. If anyone can find a link, it would be greatly appriciated if you posted it.

Is this the work of a modern day Jack the Ripper? Or is this some kind of scheme made to scare millions of people? Authorities say that they don't know whether the man was murdered or not, and if it was a murder, they aren't entirely sure if the murderer was the same person who stole his organs.

InSiDeR: I'm not sure what you are asking. Has this actually happened and you are looking to see if anyone knows if this has an mirrors in films and books?

Unfortanutly Emps, it's already happened. Been on the news and such.

try the website of the news service you saw it on?

or maybe call them for a name or some handle you can use for a search?

Aaaahh...no.

Jack the Ripper slit the throats of prostitutes in White Chapel...didn't remove and vital organs. I'd be looking more to the organ smuggling trade...a good kidney will go for USD$20,000 in the right market, or so they say.

no, more like $19,995.. depends on the conditions it's in. I can put you in touch with a guy that..

*ahem*

not that I would know anything about it, of course. *psst* email me and we'll talk..

InSiDeR: Although no consulation to the victim such an eviscerating sounds pretty 'basic'/vanilla - in fact films, TV, books, etc. would probably go for something 'fancier' with lots of little peculiarities which would allow them to profile the killer.

I doubt it is anything to do with any kind of organ trade unless there are more details to the story - it is largely an urban myth - esp. when people in the Third World already have been known sell a kidney for very little.

Skaarjj - jack the ripper did a wole lot more than slit throats...he did some pretty sick stuff. Including removal of some things in some cases.

see movie: From Hell

"Salting the back of a snail... My turkish prison is knowing that i fit in...."- Glassjaw

Ok...probably should engage in some research of my own...we were only taught about the throat slitting business at school.
