  • Loner, scarred face, speech problems..

    It was Bury whodunnit. The black eyed scoundrel.

    The yam yams are the men, who won't be blamed for nothing..

      The Whitechapel murderer must act strange to be strange, he must look bad to be bad?

      I wish these Profilers would leave the silent movie caricature out of the equation.



      The killer just as likely looked more like Paul Newman than Lon Chaney...

        Looks like a sketch to me.

          No, the Sketch was a respectable paper...this is the Mail (which you can't even use for traditional purposes, lest you rub on more than you rub off)...

            Well, I look to me that Montague John Druitt, Michael Ostrog, Aaron Kosminski and Dr Francis J.Tumblety are all sketches.

            Well Ostrog might be a photo.

              Sorry Ashkenaz...I suspect you're too young to recall the Daily Sketch then!

                this reminds of a quote i once read, cant recall it word for word but it went something along the lines of "subtlety is the subterfuge of a scoundrel"...or something like that....

                    It's a while since I read it, but John Douglas's book, 'Mindhunter' was an interesting read.

                      IMO, he worked, he mingled, he seemed like he was helping out, he was known as a local face,.....we have seen it so many times in modern cases....Jack will have been visible, just a shame we dont have any photos of crowds gathered at the murder sites because i bet any money he will have been amonst the gathered crowd....

                        That seems entirely plausible to me, Jason, but we still wouldn't know which face in the crowd was his.

                          Entirely agree with your 'local man', a regular face in Whitechapel. A worker, yes, not a dosser, and not living in a lodging-house.
                          Thats something we don't have isn't it, for all the press coverage about these funerals, its a pity no-one thought to photograph the assemblies.

                            Ironic, is it not that, on the day after publication of the Leveson report, we're bewailing the lack of an intrusive press in 1888?
