Edward Badham

[Guest]

I have reason to believe that it's more than possible for Edward Badham to be Jack the Ripper. He was never considered a suspect, but many clues point to him.

1. He moved to the area the same year the killings began.

2. He was a witness to three of the murders.

3. He was a Sergent so he was under their noses the whole time.

What do you think?

Here's a search of the Press Reports archive to the articles that mention Sergeant Badham. The articles mostly or all concern the Alice McKenzie murder of summer 1889. Was he involved in the 1888 crimes in any way?

Hi Chris,

I believe he took Hutchinson's statement.

If he was a 'witness' to three of the murders and was a police officer, why didn't he identify the killer?

Do you mean he gave evidence in court concerning his investigations? If so, that is not the same thing as being a 'witness to three of the murders'.
