The access to Marys room

[The Rookie Detective]

Bump up for an interesting thread.

I'll take whatever this guy's smokin'.

It always helped Sherlock Holmes solve the unsolvable. ...I just manage to do it without any mind altering substances.

Hello Sam,

Nice to see you back and posting again! You have always been one of the more level headed individuals on these boards.

That'll be down to my flat-top haircut Seriously, thanks for the greetings - and it's nice to be back in touch, CD.

That my thread question Rocky, and no post has answered it.

Strange no one has answered. I was just reiterating since nobody was answering your question. Someone must know right? I've always found it very suspicious that McCarthy didn't have a key and broke the door with an axe

Well, he might have, Jon, but it was hardly the most salubrious of establishments, and the occupants often the most reliable of characters. Keys - spare or otherwise - might have gone missing fairly frequently.

I suspect there were more than a few midnight flits, and the key went too.

It struck me that McCarthy should have had a spare key, which if true makes it all the more puzzling that he forced the door at the request of the police.

Who produced the missing key?
Don't forget that Bowyer was there around 3 something in the morning visiting the well if I remember correctly

The Millers court murder (?) Was something completely differentt....a hoax but made to look like a Ripper Murder.

Hi Wickerman,
Indeed there is, but more of an idea really, and it's a cracker.
But rather than write it all again and plus the fact I'm still working on it, you can find the basics on the "who chose the murder sites" thread 193 and 92 and dotted about on other threads.
But simply JTR killed Nichols,Chapman,Eddowes and possibly Stride.
The killer ( who ever he was ) was either caught or identity known soon after the double event.
The Millers court murder (?) Was something completely differentt....a hoax but made to look like a Ripper Murder.

Merry xmas and regards.

Shame your theory is wrong.

I imagine there's an overall theory behind these interjections that I am not familiar with.

Hi,
Of course he didn't mention any key, that would possibly raise un -welcome questions .
The plan being that on the morning the police arrived, one of them should have had the key with them and just go in.
Hence the long drawn out confusion in what to do next.

It's possible, Joshua, but
1. It was a small room.
2. At the inquest Abberline said that he'd taken an inventory of the room's contents.

Perhaps Mary swallowed the key, and the killer was trying to get it back?
