Most ridiculous suspect

[mpriestnall]

I believe Druitt may have been killed by another's hand rather than his own. Maybe because he had knowledge of JTR's identity and killing him was to prevent him revealing this knowledge.

Yes george thats about the gist of it., Just two points that always seem to pop up regularly as untrue tho if you like , 1 Gull was paralysed down one side after a stroke in 1887 , there for could not possibly be jack the ripper ,2 Walter sickert was out of the country while the murders were being committed. . If proof of theses two points exist ,ive yet to see it . Cheers.

What was the fictional story that a time-travelling Sherlock Holmes was the Ripper?

But I agree that the worst suspects for the time & amount of ink wasted on them have got to be Maybrick, Prince Eddy and the whole Royal Conspiracy.

I asked a couple of times and have NEVER gotten an answer: was Queen Victoria really seriously mentioned as a suspect and who by? I've certainly used her as a joke suspect a couple of times, but Really?

Without wishing to be seen in any way as ascribing to the "Royal theory", Queen Victoria's involvement was suggested as asking Sir William Gull to resolve the problems created by her grandson. AFAIK she has never been suggested as the ripper, as that would be nonsense. Eddy had iron clad alibis for the murder dates, so he is in the clear. The most the Royal theory can be, if it were to be entertained at all, is Gull and his coachman, Netley, cleaning up after Eddy's purported marriage to Annie Crooks having produced a royal heir.

Cheers, George

Anyone that dismisses Druitt out of hand is simply clueless (but we all know that of course)

Id go for Van Gogh and Neil Cream (both out of the country at the time which still doesn’t deter some -I’m still waiting for a non-existent suspect or one that was dead at the time.) I’d add Conan Doyle to the list plus MacNaughten.

Of all the suspects where the amount circumstancial evidence is more common that fact , Druitt fits this title to a tee. its just too easy to dismiss him on that bases alone .

Maybrick by a country mile. Maybrick also has some of the most ridiculous sub-theories and some of the outright worst posts I ever read on here - non worse than the Maybrick interpretation of the GSG - a stream of utter gibberish!

lol. totally agree wulf. Never has a more ridiculous suspect gotten more wasted ink than it deserves. maybrick and that stupid diary should have been drummed out of ripperology along time ago.

Van Gogh, Maybrick, Sickert

[GBinOz]

What about Van Gogh

I'm with you GUT, Van Gogh plus Carroll, Prince Albert Victor and Ostrog.

yes it is. dont you know what you post?

.
yes i do , was curious as to why you wrote. really? . No big deal tho

It's ridiculous to an extent when Gull was partially paralyzed on one side due to the strokes he suffered from 87-90.

I'd have to say the following.

1. Cream
2. Maybrick
3. Sickert
4. Carroll
5. Prince Albert Victor

Taking knight aside and his reason for Gull being jtr , the above statement about Gull is false, he was not partially paralyzed down one side at all during the time the murders were being committed.There is more than enough evidence to show [if one chooses to bother to look] that he had a minor stroke for which he fully recovered from during that time. So Gull for what ever reason , on his own, just as any other suspect, i believe could have been capable ''physically'' of committing the crimes .

ist that what were saying ?

yes it is. dont you know what you post?

[FISHY1118]

pound for pound its maybrick hands down.

and those saying lechmere or druitt-really? cmon-theyre two of the least weak suspects.
