    I shall leave you to sort this out for yourself. This is my last post on Casebook or anywhere else. Illness and encroaching old age are taking their toll, and I have many other things I want to do in the years before the Grim Reaper comes a-knocking.

    So, good luck to you all, and stop believing all the nonsense you've been told.

    Regards,

    Simon
    Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

      Well it's very easy and straightforward. 52893 was a standard Metropolitan Police file/correspondence reference (created in early September 1888) for the series of Whitechapel Murders, as shown in the police report in the third image above, and the top two images are cross-references to that file in the margin of a Special Branch register. All very dull really.

        Similar situation re age and health.

        Could you hold off a bit longer until I divest myself of all popcorn shares and holdings!

        Best of luck and thanks for the fun

                    Tediously so.

                    Gotta love the attempt to throw confusion at the mundane.

                      The 1891 Census [5th April] provides a glimpse of the staff and types of patients then at the Seaside Home.

                      It was certainly not an environment into which you might risk sending Jack the Ripper, whether he was Kosher or Goy.

                      Regards,

                      Thanks for the tip - do you happen to have those details to hand?

                        I'm curious to know whether any of the missing documents have ever reemerged?


                        Also of interest would be, what happened to all the letters sent by "Jack" were they retained or disposed of?
                        I had heard from a confidential source that at least one unpublished letter has been seen framed in someones den.

                          Police work generates gargantuan quantities of paper and storage is, and always has been, a problem. Weeding documents from historical files is not without precedent, especially when you reach the stage where those involved are almost certainly dead. In the 1970s and 1980s much of what remained went onto microfiche in my own Force and I imagine that was pretty standard procedure across the country. Evidence sometimes gets stored in unusual places too. I was once tasked with clearing out the attic at a town centre police station and found a .410 shotgun from a murder which had occurred 25 years earlier.
                          I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

                            Don Rumberlow talks very interestingly about the files/ loss/ theft/ photos etc in the great book Scotland Yard Investigates!!

                              Thanks, Christian. I think I have that somewhere so I'll dig it out and refresh my memory.
