Most ridiculous suspect

[Abby Normal]

pound for pound its maybrick hands down.

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

[The Baron]

What about Van Gogh

Still better than Druit or Lechmere.

Maybrick is the most ridiculous, considering the amount of interest he draws. At least with most of the other suspects who are regularly discussed on here , whether you agree with them or not you can generate some form of case, even if it is on not much . But with Maybrick there is none, apart from a very obvious fake diary.

1. Lechmere
2. Dusty Bin
3. Mr Blobby

Charles Lechmere., jill the ripper, Montague Druitt.

Very much agree Fishy.

Sometimes I find it difficult to decide who is more Lechmere or Druitt, both are unique in their ridiculous status as suspects, but it must be Druitt the clear winner here.

I didn't mention Maybrick because he has nothing to do with this case, not even a person of interest.

I dont know about that - I always thought the "From Hell" graphic novel presented a strong case for Gull as the "Grand Architect". Doesnt seem so ridiculous to me.

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

Another ridiculous suspect:

Glenn Quagmire of "Family Guy."

I am quite sure that it wasn't the escaped monkey. The Rue Morgue murderer used a different MO and had been caught and was well locked up in 1888.

Damn, I was betting on that monkey too! Dave

Thanks for clarifying, Hunter.

Sorry to snap!

All the best,

I'm sorry, I meant to say Phil Hutchinson- Now Cap'n Jack's suspect- at least might as well be. The other is not ridiculous . The response does answer a few questions though.

[JTRSickert]

The cowboys in Bill's Wild West Show, George Hutchinson, Robert Mann, Seargent Thick, Seargent York ( just kidding- he was too young). Anyway, if you read Sherlock Holmes, it had to be professor Moriarity, no doubt in my mind.

Hunter,

I don't think George Hutchinson as a suspect is really ridiculous. There is a great deal about him and his story we do not know or are uncertain about. So, putting him as a suspect is not really ridiculous at all. However, I personally think he was not the Ripper.

I think Phil Hutchinson is a more credible suspect though. Hmmm, wonder if they are related?

Hunter,

Some of your choices are clearly throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and don't remotely merit inclusion on a list of the most "ridiculous" suspects. I hope some of your entries were tongue in cheek.
