1. Mary Ann Cox described a man with blotches on his face. Connelly had a drink reddened face.

2. JTR is generally accepted as being a man. Connelly was big woman, a low voice, and could therefore be mistaken for a man.

3. Connelly knew Tabram and possibily Annie Chapman. Most murder victims are committed by people known to them.

4. Connelly had no alibis for any of the murders.

5. Connelly acted suspiciously after the murder of Tabham by not co-operating with the police investigation.

Well that would be a turn up for the book. Any further evidence?

She had piggy little eyes and her eyebrows met in the middle.

Game over then Martyn

I once described Pearly Poll to Sam Flynn as ‘Bernard Breslau in a dress.’

Yep, that pretty much nails it for me.

That seals it then!

Shall we all pack up and go home?!

It took about 10 years of posting to persuade a certain witness was JTR and it took me 2 posts. Go me!

Yah, of course, this is looking good. And we mustn't forget that Connelly is the last known person to see Tabram alive. Remember, the "soldiers" have never been located - did they even exist or did her psychopathic mind come up with this so she could dupe the police? In addition, Connelly interjected herself into the investigation by going to the police, they didn't find her, and that's not unheard of for serial killers. In fact, this type of behaviour is often cited as evidence for other suspects (see Hutchinson). The pieces ... the pieces, they ... they just all are coming together here!

Well done.

Hi one of the best arguments that the killer may have been a woman , was the overkill on Tabram and the others , Women that kill do tend to Make sure so to speak

Thanks Jeff. And good work from you too!

At last a solution everyone (apart from Lechmerians of course) can get behind!

She was a psychopath

She had a dominant mother (or should it be a dominant father in this case?!)

She was a prostitute, and her route to 'work' took her over all the murders spots
