    If it was facts that Glenn quotes then JTR would have been caught, try the words theory and speculation instead

    Glenn used to think MJK was a Ripper victim, but this all changed a few years ago, yea' i remember it well

    I'm lost.

    Glenn was posting here. He is well known.

    I wasnt attempting to choose a suspect from any mania we might guess the killer had. I was attempting to understand why we have a "brief" ten week period of killing. Sutcliffe(amongst others) killed for years on end.
    Ok Jason, understood. But :

    Why do we have this person killing for a few weeks but at such an intense rate? Is there a known psychological illness that can account for this?
    This all assumes of course that the killer was alive & well long after the Kelly murder.
    This is where we differ. I'm not sure any psychological illness would answer that. There might have been more than one explanation.

    For the rest, he's a knowledgeable person.

    that was a shame , because it includes everything . I wondered why a swedish book was recomended if it wasnt translated into english . Perhaps there are many swedish members on this forum ?

    Assuming the canonical five as fact for a moment. These five were killed within a ten week period. Are there any form of mental illnesses that would lead to a ten week period of mania?

    I edge towards Kosminski as killer. I remember him being described as suffering from bouts of mania then followed by some relative normalcy. I do not wish to turn this into a Kosminski thread and im certainly not advocating him here. However, what illness would explain a ten week bout of going "mad?" Are any illnesses ruled out by a ten week bout of mania?
