    Hello Harry.

    "Was she a prostitute at that time? There's no proof that she was, nor Eddowes either."

    Right you are.

    Cheers.

    • To Wickerman and c.d.—try to put yourselves in Jack’s shoes. He knew who he was, he’d just been seen assaulting a woman on the streets of Whitechapel in the early hours of the morning, he had reason to fear the police might want to look into him in connection with the previous murders. He made a snap decision to murder Stride and shut off that possibility. Like it or not, this is a reasonable explanation of what could have occurred.

      To Harry—given what the police knew about Stride, and given the time and location of the assault, the police could have reasonably concluded that Stride might have been soliciting. It does not matter if she actually was. They would have wanted to explore the possibility that this attack was connected with the previous murders.
      “When a major serial killer case is finally solved and all the paperwork completed, police are sometimes amazed at how obvious the killer was and how they were unable to see what was right before their noses.” —Robert D. Keppel and William J. Birnes, The Psychology of Serial Killer Investigations
