I know this is complete balderdash of course, but a relative who grew up in the area of the killings in the 1920's was adamant that 'everyone knew Mary Jane Kelly was the ripper', I've tried to research this suggestion as an interesting aside for a piece I've previously written and published on the net, but can't find anything on the suggestions origins. Can anybody tell me where this story might have started? Are there any contemporary news articles which voiced this theory, where did it start? Who first suggest this obviously crazy theory? Has anyone seriously suggest it before in any tomes I've missed?
I look forward to you replies.
Is it possible this all based from a mishearing of the name Mary Pearcey? There's a definitely been a theory Mary Pearcey was the ripper, notable enough to get a wikipedia mention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_P...ll_the_Ripper?
