Millers court Key???

[Michael W Richards]

We do have Barnetts admission that the key was lost, so having it found again isnt anything earthshaking. This thing about the locked door, locked windows crime scene.....all the killer need do is access the latch through the broken window to get in, and set the latch "off" again when he left. The windows were likely already locked when Mary got home with Blotchy. And the door likely unlocked. I dont see Mary shoving her hand through a broken window pane for the latch in the condition that Mary Ann Cox described her.

In fairness in the picture posted no claims are made to it being MJK's key, just that is was found nearby.

Also in the thread he sure was insinuating it was the key and was asked multiple questions regarding individuals -history-addresses-with very scant replies !! I just found the thread most interesting and tantalising!!

Thoughts on this very dubious claim!!??

I dont see a reason why the key couldnt have been for the door, but it also could have been for a padlock on the dustbin itself. Or maybe the tap could be shuttered and locked.

Fine point!!

Im glad you mentioned both.

I nearly threw in "Astrakhan" man as a "buy two, get one free offer."

The key of the murdered woman's door has been found, so that her murderer did not carry it away with him, as was at first supposed.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

What does the lady in the sunglasses think?

The wife!!! Been boring her about Jack for 30+ years I’ll ask her!!

Presumably, as the door had been forced, the rediscovered key wouldn't have been much use anyway. Maybe the man who found it was allowed to keep it, which makes it at least posssible that it has survived as a souvenir. It would be hard to prove that this key is one and the same, however.

Yes agree with you Sam!! Almost impossible to verify the keys history and provanonce !!!

[Christian]

Interesting, but likely impossible to corroborate.

I always thought that the Miller's Court key had resurfaced and was found shortly after the murder.

I am sure I read that somewhere, but I may be wrong.

Does that key in the photo have any engravings or inscriptions?

Hi there
No markings or engraving on the key!! I did ask him for additional information and history but no reply as of yet!! To be fair it’s quite a wild statement regarding the key
