What are the chances of….?

Scratch any "fact" in the Ripper case and you will quickly reveal a series of assumptions and decisions about which conflicting sources to trust or which conflicting possibilities to believe. This is why we are still talking about this case almost 150 years later.

A very small number of Ripperologists are doing original research that may reveal new facts about the case. 99% of us are just telling stories and debating the plausibility of these stories. That's probably all the field will ever be. It's why we come here and we love it.

Maynard G Krebs - What does the "G" stand for? Walter

GWalter if memory serves, and unfortunately all these mini strokes has sent the steel trap more than a tad rusty.

According to Maynard, he was named for his aunt, and the "G" is silent.

The issue with the Lawende sighting are not limited to the man he says he saw, but couldnt be sure he could identify with 2 weeks time,....its also with his ID of the woman he says was Kate. We have Packer saying he identified Stride, we have have Mrs Long saying she identified Annie, we have Brown saying he identified Stride, we have Hutchinson saying he identified Mary with Astrakan, we have Carrie Maxwell saying she identified Mary out at 8am on Friday...yet we cannot be sure of any of these sightings and ID's. And thats just a few of these "ID's".
