Sorry, I missed the earlier posts, so sorry if I am repeating something.

As a twist, what if JtR hung around to see the reaction of his work; in the shadows for instance, and got some sort of kick from it. As the crowd that gathered left the scene, so did he.

Just another potential angle to come in from.

He almost certainly did. In the McKenzie case, one of the locals interviewed at the scene even commented that the Ripper likely lived nearby and might be standing amongst them.

Yes, it could have been something like that. It’s another part of the case the we can never get a conclusive answer to.

Never say never.

I was joking. I actually thought you might be suggesting that the Ripper drugged his victims with laudanum, but Dr. Phillips looked such a thing and could never find it. Certainly possible about the Ripper using it.

I managed to get the joke, took me long though... It’s like my brain decided to take the scenic route to figure it out.

Better late than never, now I can laugh instead of just nodding awkwardly...

Laudanum.. Kosminski... these kinds of stuff you know...
