Stephen P Ryder

I've been interested in serial killers since middle school, probably from the commotion of the Bundy and Dahmer cases which took place around that time. Regardless of the cause of the interest, I soon became intrigued with the subject, and since then have read countless books and magazines on the topic. Although I've read about hundreds of specific cases, the Ripper murders still remain my all time favorite.

Besides this dreary topic, I am also interested in other forms of criminology, as well as a variety of other sciences such as astronomy, archaeology, and paleontology. I am currently attending the University of Delaware under the guise of an English major, but pursuing a career in the field of forensics. I live there during the school year, and I return home to Northern New Jersey on breaks.

What I need from you

• Images -- I am looking for images of the Ripper case (the crime scenes, the suspects, the evidence, etc.) which I can use on this page in order to provide a more thorough production. The photos can be found in practically any Ripper book, but I haven't a scanner to image them with. Anyone who sends an image will be credited on the page for their gracious contribution.
• Additional Information -- I don't profess to know everything about the Ripper case, so if anyone does have information missing on these pages, please feel free to send it to me -- again, you will be credited for your contribution.
• Comments -- I plan on creating a separate page for reader input, so please feel free to send me any and all comments or suggestions you may have.
