  • Pub or Street?

    Where did JtR approach his victims? In the pub on the street? Did he buy them a few drinks first or did he simply proposition them on the street? Is there any evidence in favour of one over the other?

    Tristan
    Best wishes,

      They could well have done. If that was the case did they approach him in the street or in a pub I wonder?

        Nichols might have approached Henry ..... oops Jack outside his workplace.

        Possibly not for the first time.

          The street.

          Getting a sense of police beat timespans, requires standing fairly still.

          PC Watkins or Harvey may have realized they saw someone in a fixed position, who didn't seem suspicious at the time, but who in hindsight gave them seconds thoughts.

            That is called loitering with intent.

            Something police are trained to lookout for very early in their training.

              Intriguing.

              There is a location at which it is possible to keep an eye on the corners of Mitre Street, Duke Street and a section of Aldgate High Street in between without being detected.

              Here is the Google street view you get at this point...

              https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.51...4!8i8192?hl=en

              Going back and forth 180 degrees there is an unbroken view from the corner of Mitre Street/Leadenhall Street into the top east section of Jewry Street.

              This includes the space once occupied by the dwelling of Dr Sequeira.

              Looking from an upper floor window someone could have viewed passing figures around that location without detection.



              Of course, this could just be a coincidence. Merely an observation.

                Great work!
                Except that Jack does want to be detected, and approached, by prostitutes.
                This occurs, but he continually turns them away until the timing is right.
                To avoid the charge of loitering with intent, he has to be engaged in a valid activity, and looking respectable helps too.

                So what is the valid activity?
                Well, he has a parcel with him, or at least, that's what it looks like from a distance, or in darkness.
                Actually, it's a bundle of copies of a publication, which he hands out to interested passers-by.

                So what is the publication?

                      probably both. he probably started off in the pub drinking and then took his hunt to the streets after they closed. I think the only solid evidence that he may have met one in the pub is with stride based on the evidence of best and gardner. and perhaps Kelly if blotchy was her killer.

                        Hi AbNorm,

                        Do you think he was drunk when operating on Eddowes?

                          I wonder if this would have a bearing the type of killer he was? i.e. if he was a Ted Bundy type killer did he meet them in the pub and lure them out with him or if he was more a lunatic type did he approach them on the street, where conversation was less important?

                          I suspect he was more of the former rather than the latter personally.

                            yes agree. but remember bundy also approached women out in the street, and also still used a ruse to get them where he wanted them. I seriously doubt the ripper was the lunatic type that just attacked women on the street with little to no conversation/rusing beforehand.

                            and if blotchy was her killer, we have evidence that he probably met her in a pub and rused her all the way back to her place.

                              Of course I mean undetected in terms of watching police patrol patterns. The killer wouldn't want to be caught loitering or draw attention to themselves as a suspect.

                              PC Holland was patrolling along Aldgate High Street when the alarm was raised. He initially went to Mitre Square with PC Harvey to see the body. This would be between about 1:45am and 1:48am. PC Holland then goes to call Dr Sequiera, living just round the corner at Jewry Street. He's clearly well known for PC Holland to know exactly where to go to fetch him to the scene. So add another minute or two for PC Holland to arrive, knock on Dr Sequiera's door and for Sequiera to respond. This takes us to about 1:50am. By 1:55am Dr Sequiera is dressed and at the scene.

                              Fully dressed? Or just partially dressed? Unfortunately we'll never know as no-one describes his attire, but he has the total sum of about 3 minutes to get ready before leaving his house and going with PC Holland to Mitre Square.

                              Does he use that time to get dressed or clean himself up? Was he in bed when called or was he awake? If he was woken that would add to the response time and shorten the time he has to get ready. If he was still awake - and therefore already dressed - what is he doing in those 3 minutes rather than just putting on a coat and leaving straight away?

                              I do find it interesting that when asked at the inquest if the killer would be covered in blood from carrying out the mutilations on Catherine Eddowes he responds with, 'Not necessarily.' Not possibly, or hard to say, but 'Not necessarily.' Is that because he knew? A knowing nod to himself that no-one else would get?

                              If only PC Holland had been at the inquest. May have had some extra information to work with.
