Why Didn’t They Catch Him?

What if there were convincing circumstances that pointed to the Ripper being Jewish?

I am all ears.

What's the evidence of this?

Surely this belongs on the 'most ridiculous' thread!

One trick pony.

What's the evidence of this?

I asked if there were "convincing" circumstances that pointed to the Ripper being Jewish. It was an open question to the thread. I was not saying I had definite proof of anything. For example, is anyone swayed by Anderson's arguments, or Swanson's Marginalia notes? Can Macnaghten's "many circs" be brushed aside or does this suggest there was information known to Scotland Yard that hasn't seen the light of day, or was destroyed?

Fair enough Scott

Why didn't they catch him?

Because there was no one to catch.

Jack was an invention.

I take it this is just a wild theory then with no evidence whatsoever to back it up?

Hi John,

Actually, there's quite a lot of supporting evidence, which I'm knocking into shape as we speak.

Stay well.
