Why no vomitus?

[timsta]

I am fairly sure I have never read any accounts of vomitus being found at the crime scenes.

Evisceration is, I am sure, somewhat of a nauseating experience to say the least.

Especially, there is not as far as I am aware any report of vomitus being found in 13 Miller's Court. Whilst I think this quite feasible in the case of the 'canonical' WM, I believe that it strongly militates against the candidacy of 'copycat Rippers' (e.g. Joe Barnett). I can just about buy the 'jealousy killing given overkill to make it look like a Rippper murder' theory; what I can't accept is that someone 'ordinary' could do that level of butchery and keep their stomach contents inside their stomach.

Right.. It dont make any sense. The only thing that seems to make sense is that there was a depraved killer picking on some of the weakest victims he could find. The reasons are suspected to be something sexual.

Sorry, they found the remains of a meal of fish and potatoes in the stomach and part of it had leaked into the abdomen.

From Dr. Bond (Casebook)

"In the abdominal cavity there was some partly digested food of fish and potatoes, and similar food was found in the remains of the stomach attached to the intestines."

To put it crassly, if you are "enjoying" what you are doing, mutilating and eviscerating your victim, why would you vomit? We ought to refer to the crimes of similar killers such as the Gainesville Ripper, Danny Rollins, or the recent Green Chain Walk killer in Britain, Robert Napper, to see if they vomited during their gruesome work. My guess, though without researching it I can't say for sure, is that they did not.

Which is exactly why MJK is likely one of Jacky's girls than a crime of passion made to look like a Ripper victim.

I don't see a problem with this.... I deal with a lot of horrible scenes and your gag goes after a while.
If Jack you did something like this it for a living you wouldn't necessary vomit, and also life was tougher then, people were more used to smells and death all around so even if he didn't fresh blood and faeces wouldn't necessarily ,make him gag.
