Another theory!!

[Mike Covell]

I recently joined the Facebook user group "I love JTR" which has several members from both Casebook and JTR Forums.
There is a young lady on the group who mentioned that,

She knows who the killer was,
He was a cobbler,
He had a foot fetish,
He resided at 73 Wilkins Street during the murders,

She got this "Top Secret" info from a friend of a friend whose relation had connections to the family of Annie Chapman!!

Cobblers, you say?

PS: Would that be "Wilkes Street"? Round the corner from Hanbury, dont'cha know...

[Hellrider]

nothing pointing in the direction of that foot fetish thing, is there?

I believe all the victims were wearing shoes.

She claims Wilkins. I cannot find Wilkins in Whitechapel, Aldgate nor Spitalfields. She claims that this street is still there!
So I checked my current London A-Z and found only one Wilkins Street in London, but it's in South London!

All but one victim had shoes on, Mary Kelly was in bed, and as a result, shoeless.

indeed, and I tend to think the killer had far too little time to suck on toes or take in the smell of their feet

My thoughts exactly!

Hi Mike,

Yes, but Mary was known to wear shoes so I believe that my theory still holds.

Of course, Pizer was a boot-finisher, so this might have been the origin of the "cobbler" idea. Having said that, it would be good to know more about this bit of family lore.

Obviously, a foot fetishist in Victorian England, who suffered from such a sexually repressive upbringing that he wasn't exactly sure where the feet were, only that he liked them. Due to his lack of surgical knowledge, he went in through the abdomen.

I mean, think about it - Victorian men thought women didn't have legs, just nothing from the waist to below the ankles. Obviously everything between the waist and shoe was ankle.

You should have seen what he did to piano legs.

Hey, it works for me.....

Here is the strange bit! The posters name is Natalie, and Natalie recently asked me publically "Rip my thong off"

Turns out that Natalie is now saying she/he is a man!!

[Hellrider]

seems there are fetishes around besides feet, eh?

Hi Mike,

Better that you found out now before you got physically and emotionally involved.

Luckily I wasn't tempted! I have a lovely wife, who is both naughty but nice and keeps me on a leash!! I just find it bizarre that this person has a girls name!

I just checked out the site on Facebook and added myself. Saw you on there Mike. You are not far from me actually. I am in York and Work in Pocklington.
