== The Police Investigation ==
Initially, [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Chief_Constable_Adolphus_Williamson Chief Constable Adolphus Williamson] was in charge of the Annie Chapman murder investigation. Once public panic started to increase after the Annie Chapman murder Commissioner Warren decided to give responsibility for the entire investigation to Chief Inspector Donald Sutherland Swanson.
The police investigation followed general thoughts that the murderer was a madman who had escaped or been recently released from a lunatic asylum. [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Walter_Dew Metropolitan Detective Chief Inspector Walter Dew] backed this up in his memoirs stating "This angle of investigation was pursued relentlessly".
