Of course it will be ludicrous, but ludicrously feasible.
I've got the who, what and how, just not the why.

The mechanism is instead in the head of the interpreter. When the interpreter does not understand the external world, he invents an explanation.
So this is what we must try to avoid.

I don't think the story begins and ends at the canonical victims.
I think there were almost certainly incidents pre-Nichols, and these need not have always been fatal outcomes.
Also, from my reading of the facts I have at my command presently, I see Alice McKenzie as an extremely likely victim. If her murder had happened exactly as it did in October of 1888, she would undoubtedly be a canonical victim.
The two forces working against McKenzie are it was exclude some popular suspects and it goes against escalation theory. But I don't see that we can't have regressions. Or we can't have the killer more pleased with a certain murder than another for their own reasons.
