All this talk about the common dominating factor, the strangulation, abdominal mutilations, etc misses the most glaringly obvious does it not? All the C5 suffered cuts to the neck, has did some of the non C5 such as Mackenzie. Even in the Stride case if we accept her as a victim of JtR, this was what he did, he cut throats.
but whats also glaringly obvious is that none of the others were his wife or killed In his own home. The cut throats on the C5 were MO to kill them quietly or quickly-something that might be different with his wife, in his own home. The rippers true goal, his sig, was post mortem mutilation to the abdomen and organ removal. Plus if it started as a drunken row then I can see the MO changing a bit, no?
If he was the ripper-well he gets into the fight with the wife, kills her and he just cant help himself-his true nature comes out in the abdomen cutting.
I really started this thread to get peoples favorite suspects-not to get into endless bickering about it. I guess I should have added that caveat.
I would hate if people were hesitant to do it, if they think theyre pick is just going to be torn apart.
Its been fascinating to see what people think are valid suspects, but its also been cool to see how different posters mindset works.
