Then there is Francis Thompson, the mentally ill, drugged, man who carried a knife, with surgical experience whose sole purpose for living at the end of Dorset Street, Spitalsfields, was to find a prostitute who had fled him. The one who had written about ripping their stomachs open.

Other suspects include, James Thomas Sadler, Robert Donston Stephenson, the Duke of Clarence, Mary Kelly, Lewis Carroll, Jacob Isenschmid, H. H. Holmes….

I'd be more convinced if he had left a clue somewhere in the form of an anagram.

Not sure what your point is.

Is the 'Thompson/Ripper' documentary due by any chance

Now that’s funny

[Richard Patterson]

Yes, but I can't give timeline. I have signed an option agreement with a LA producer who is doing a film treatment of my book. It should be completed in the next few weeks. He is planning a six episode documentary. Thanks for the interest.

This is such a non-point. Whoever the Ripper was, we know he was carrying a knife. Does that mean Thompson was the only man tooled up?

Look forward to it Richard.

Hi Richard,

like your book, but very far from convinced.

Steve

[Richard Patterson]

Thanks Steve, for liking my book. Let me know what book you do find convincing, so I can read it.
Cheers,
Richard

Certainly the Ripper was carrying a knife. So was Thompson and perhaps 3 other suspects that we can put a name to. That Thompson carried a knife seems to be irrelevant, to you, to what makes a candidate. Any point, taken in isolation, means little.

[Varqm]

I'm sure you read the Kelly inquest.where/when did Francis come in and killed her? What do you think of Blotchy or the Lewis's lurking man? Was he a client,friend,intruder?

I believe that Mary Kelly was killed at around 3:30 am. The man that Mary Ann Cox saw at 11:45pm, the man with a blotchy face, looked nothing like Thompson, and I believe that he was a client or possible client, but not the Ripper. Lewis's lurking man also did not resemble Thompson and was possibly another client, but I also do not think was the Ripper.

So every other suspect was incapable of obtaining a knife?

Any point, taken in isolation, means little.

That's as maybe, but this "point" is so insignificant as to not be worth mentioning at all.

No. Every other suspect, no one can show obtained a knife.
