spinning rooms, spinning yarns

I've been reading Jon Krakauer's Under The Banner Of Heaven, which is astonishingly well-researched- something I've come to expect and to admire from all of Krakauer's books. Here, he respectfully quotes another author's work, Will Bagley's Blood Of The Prophets, as both books deal with the exceptionally murderous history of the Church Of Latter Day Saints: Mormons. One quote in particular caught my eye.

"In New York in 1902, William Hooper Young, the prophet's grandson, slit the abdomen of an alleged prostitute and wrote the words "Blood Atonement" in his father's apartment."

This references a grandson of Brigham Young, the second Prophet/President of the Mormon church. Why does this matter to me? Well, as faithful followers of this blog are aware, I and some writer friends have an upcoming book of our own, Autumn Painted Red, which deals exclusively with the Jack The Ripper slayings. In my own 2 years of research, one of the more interesting facts I came across concerned a murderer in New York City, in the years following Jack's reign, who killed a number of prostitutes in such a way as to lead many authorities to believe that Jack was not only still active, but had relocated to megalithic NYC. In fact, one of this Jack's victims was a prostitute nicknamed Shakespeare, so we have this bizarre moment of real-world metafiction. These killings began just ten years prior to the incident involving William Hooper Young.
Considering the insanity of Mormon Fundamentalism's Blood Atonement rites, might Hooper have been the NYC Ripper?
Ritualistic murders are not at all a rare thing among stated LDS Fundamentalists, as we've seen examples as recently as the past couple of decades in regards to members of both the LeBaron and Lafferty families. Brigham Young himself had given a number of impassioned speeches spouting how murdering in the name of God was actually a righteous thing. And to take this line of thought even further, the traditional Mormon church was indeed attracting English converts as early as the 1840s. Might the original Ripper murders then, in actuality have been the handiwork of a sect of Mormon Fundamentalists hellbent on purifying the sins of man?
I have not before found any mention of such an avenue having been explored anywhere else. And while this notion would not really alter my own contribution to Autumn Painted Red, the idea would be interesting to explore.
