Working to order or not ?

[belinda]

No. I believe this was personal for the killer.

[joelhall]

If it was a job, there must have been an employer, but I can't think of a plausible reason for an assignment like that.

I can. There's a fairly obvious motive for the killings if you look at the area they were done it (no clues I'm afraid - Ruby don't say a word ). Although I don't believe the killer was paid to do it I do think the motive is a much better one than the sexual killer theory.

Hello Corey.

"Gangs, terrorists, mobs. What do they all do? Assa[s]sinate."

Precisely! And, as we look over the history of such events, political and religious assassinations seem to effect a particularly gruesome despatch.

Cheers.

There's obviously two sides of the fence.
Most people believe that JTR was just a lone mad serial killer in which case no he can't be working to order.
If on the other hand you believe 'there's something different about this' then yes anythings possible.
In the words of Ray McAnally "convince the little man".
Nick Warren puts an excellent theory forward in the mammoth book,well worth a second read,regarding the irish political situation.

Hello Boris,

This has nothing to do with that theory. However, this will make everything clear. Gangs, terrorists, mobs. What do they all do? Assasinate.

Think about it.

Hi Corey,

They would get about as much as a mobster who had a hit on somebody would.

Maybe, but again I must ask: Who would benefit from someone who not only kills a number of women but also violently mutilates them?

A normal East End mobster or pimp? Well, the fact that the murders - unlike others that happened before or after - caused a public hysteria, a huge press echo and the biggest manhunt in British history up to that time tells me that there was more behind it than just the death of at least five women.

This leads me to conclude that if it really was a job, the mutilations were an important part of it. I wouldn't completely rule out this possibility but I must admit that I'm having difficulties imagining a plausible motive for that.

And no, I don't buy the "pimp scares his gals into submission" theory.

Regards,

Boris

I think I know where Chud is coming from. There's no question that whoever committed these murders was evil, but he was also practical. There's a coldness in the murders that suggests a calm hand. This is one of the reasons I find Charles Le Grand the most likely suspect to date.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Hello chudmuskett, all,

who would benefit from a guy who kills and badly mutilates five or possibly more women? If it was a job, there must have been an employer, but I can't think of a plausible reason for an assignment like that.

Regards,

Boris

I could not agree with you more on that, Lynn !

[lynn cates]

right

Hello Corey. Precisely!

I never fear when people are actually thinking. And if one gets it wrong, it should become apparent sooner or later. And the best part is, it is better than television.

Cheers.

Hello Lynn,

Indeed it is.

However, be mindful not to be close minded. You can research and vouch for a certain theory and also keep your mind open to other theories.

[lynn cates]

logic

Hello Chud. You have an interesting idea here. To facilitate your thinking, why not follow up the logic?

So, we have:

"Jack" was doing a job. OK, the next logical question is, "What job?" and that is closely followed by, "For whom?"

As you ponder these questions, you will be led inevitably to pursue further certain lines whilst rejecting others.

Good luck on your ratiocinations!

Cheers.

Hello Chud,

Actually quite the contrary. Lots of new and interesting did dads and bits to read about. I beg you to look more.

thats the equivalent of the football player going up the nightclub doorman and asking " do you know who i am ? "
