TikTok sleuth busts open 'Jack the Ripper' mystery

[FISHY1118]

Maybe if she'd had come on these boards as a newbie and championed her chosen "suspect " that would have been a better move than on tic tok.

No different to most people who sign up here to discuss and debate a less than favorable suspect. I've seen worse who copped less.

It was actually Henri Bourges who committed the murder…apparently.

I’ll let you read it first Martyn.

Come back, Lechmere, all is forgiven!

[Enigma]

The aardvark theory is more plausible than this.

[Wickerman]

It's the Daily Mail, Herlock!

Let's face it, the bar is set pretty low!

In the business, I think it is still called - a slow news day.

[Herlock Sholmes]

The aardvark theory is more plausible than this.

Certainly is.

I always harboured suspicions regarding Toulouse-Lautrec.

That dangerous little teapot.

[Holmes' Idiot Brother]

Now I've heard everything! First Sickert, now Degas!! What people won't do for their 5 minutes of fame.

[FISHY1118]

First [Add any suspect ] now Degas .

[Michael W Richards]

There are a few posters who responded to this that have their very own Degas as their favourite, with the same quality of "evidence". Ive always said find one man for one killing, Annie Chapmans killer, and you have Jack. But no, he must have killed all Five...or all Five plus the Torsos,.... or all Five, Plus the Torsos, plus the Deeming Family,...or all Five, Plus the Torsos, Plus the Bradford Boy in a barrel.....or he must have changed preferences, turning to poison instead of a knife,....he must have graduated from stabbing bums to extracting internal organs in the dark.....

Lots of folks here live in glass houses, so tossing rocks at Degas theorizing, or any sort of other fanciful ideas, is a bit hypocritical and dangerous.

In most of those cases, people are saying "might" rather than "must".

[Al Bundy's Eyes]

Well, this one's been up and a while and is closing off two pages, so in the interest of maintaining stability, and Herlock's sanity in case he thought the world had gone totally out of sync:

Degas? Still a better suspect than Druitt.

The aardvark theory is more plausible than this.

While I admit I'm not suspect focused, the more I read, the more the aardvark raises my suspicions.
