Name the Name with a short answer why please :D

You struggle with identifying who I am talking about, or struggle with the idea that this person could have been involved?

I genuinely don't know who you could be talking about, Jon.

But if they are no longer with us, at least that narrows it down a wee bit.

Love,

Why plant the book in the Maybrick home? - where would you keep your diary, at work?

Sorry, Jon, I didn't make myself clear. I meant: why plant the book in the Maybrick home, if the motive wasn't to cause mischief?

I think the plan, whatever it was, went wrong because it was meant to have been found, probably with the watch, by the occupier at the time. If both were nicked and then sold separately - Mike Barrett had the diary by March 1992 and Albert Johnson bought the watch legitimately in July 1992 - there was no easy way to track either back to the house.

Just a hunch really.

Love,

I think its entirely possible that Jacob Isenschmidt is the rightful owner of "The Ripper" pseudonym, only he was far less successful in creating a volume of murder than we have all been assuming Jack was. Because he was unable to continue past Annie. The first victim and second victim are the closest in time to each other, a virtual mirror image of each other in Victimology, MO and discernible Motivations, and there is the oft present escalation in injuries due to a now more mature, experienced killer and the privacy he had in the second murder.

Jack as a Double Homicide guy.

I am not saying he is my Num 1 suspect, but one person I find interesting is the husband of Caroline Maxwell - Henry. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much info on him.
Num 1 suspect, The man seen by Lawende or Blotchy

The nameless individual loitering outside the Britannia pub (a.k.a. The Bethnal Green man) seen by both Lewis & Kennedy is my No.1 Person of Interest.
I suspect this is the same man seen with Stride at the Bricklayers Arms, and seen by PC Smith, and seen by Packer, and seen in Millers Court by Bowyer.
It's my view he was of the same social class as Druitt, whether this really was Druitt cannot be ruled out yet.

Hi Wick,

Can you point me in the direction of some info on Bethnal Green man please

[Herlock Sholmes]

Person or persons unknown and likely to stay that way.

This is likeliest IMO.

[Abby Normal]

Earlier in this thread I gave my first choice for a Person of Interest (as opposed to 'suspect').

I don't have a second or third choice.

the bethnal green botherer! as you know ive also found this character very intriguing

[Wickerman]

If you said already forgive me please but could you tell me who you favor to be the Ripper? Your top 3 or such?

Too bad this thread has altered so much...but,

Tony Devereux probably rewrote a diary found in Battlecrease House and gave it to Mike Barrett in 1990. The original (now lost) was a spoof originated by eccentric playwrite Harry Dam, ham actor George Grossmith and musician Michael Maybrick.

You've got the makin's of a play at least.

Hi,
My three are Joseph Fleming, Walter Sickert , or the unnamed man Maxwell saw with Kelly at 8.45 A.M [ alleged ]

Less tolerant for stupidity the older I get.
I couldn't say which is worse, Stephen Knight's The Final Solution, Royal Conspiracy crap or, Shirley Harrison's The Diary of Jack the Ripper, deceptive nonsense.
Sorry, just passing through a senior rant here....
I just get tired of hearing about diaries, royal princes & black magic rituals.
Maybe there'll be a laxative available someday.....

True.

Okay, the I had the wrong person in mind. Can’t say That you have not piqued my curiosity. I shall be speculating (this time quietly to myself) who the researcher you are indeed referring to.

[Wickerman]

But you surely remember the numerous posters you blindly believed the story verbatim?

Sorry, that was meant to be "who".

Shirley Harrison and I may not be your intellectual equals, Jon, but I am as sure as I can be that she was not being deliberately 'deceptive' when she wrote that book.

Ah, sarcasm, love it
No, I have not claimed Shirley Harrison forged the Diary, she was clearly taken in by the deception.

Neither do I recall you arguing for the acceptance of the Diary as 'real' back in the day. But you surely remember the numerous posters you blindly believed the story verbatim?
