  • Hutchinson came forward very soon after the public airing of Sarah Lewis's sighting of the "loiterer", indicating that he may have recognised himself as the loiterer and fabricated an account with the intention of superficially legitimising his "loitering" presense. It would indeed have been a case of "cart before the horse", but as criminologist John Douglas points out:

    "...some killers — the more organized or premeditated type — sometimes even inject themselves into the police investigation to provide bogus information. They do it for different reasons. They may want to find out where the investigation is headed or look for cues that it’s progressing along nicely because, naturally, they’re concerned about that.

    They may go to the police in order to beat them to the punch, just in case someone may have seen them or provided a description of their car. This way, if their names pop up later, they can come back and say, “Oh, wait a minute, I went to you guys a month ago. I was cooperative.”

        No doubt.

          That was what I was thinking that he might of been spooked. Hutchinson coming forward if he was or wasn't the killer doesn't make much sense on the face of it but there might have been contributing factors that we just do not know of..

            • Hutchinson?

              A George Hutchinson was aquitted on 16th June 1873 in Clerkenwell for Larceny from a ship and receiving. Cant seem to find anything more on this...

              • re: THE PICK-UP SHTICK

                I really liked this line of thought.

                My only problem, with setting a rendez-vous is the double-event, or even if Stride is not considered a victim, the Eddowes murder.

                To give her a rdv in Mitre Square (or around) doesn't make sense. Especially since she was just recently back to London, and spent the evening drunk in a police station.

                It does work well with Stride, though.

                  Hi Pat
                  Which would make Aussie George about 12/13 years old at the time. Interesting. Does it mention age in your source? or does the young age of Aussie George at the time rule him out?
