Originally posted by Trevor Marriott View PostThere was a police theory in the Eddowes murder that being that the killer after murdering Eddowes removed the organs and then cut a piece of her apron taking it away with him and then deposited it in Goulston Street after writing the graffiti.
Dr Brown stated it as well, in the Eddowes Inquest.
"[Coroner] Would the parts removed be of any use for professional purposes? - None whatever."
2) The most logical explanation for Eddowes apron being cut is that the killer did it. The idea that Eddowes did to to use as a sanitary napkin collapses once you look at the inventory of items found on her body, which includes "12 pieces white rag, some slightly bloodstained".
3) Some police thought the Goulston Street Graffito was written by the Ripper. Others did not. I have seen no signs that there was an official theory, let alone signs of beat constables lying to support the theory.
In his 6 November, 1888 report, Warren clearly believed the graffito was written to attack the Jews, but expressed no opinion about whether or not it was written by the killer.
In his memoirs, Dew made it clear that he did not think the graffito was written by the murderer. "There was no reason, so far as I can see, why this particular message should have proved more useful than many others which Jack the Ripper was supposed to have written. As I have said before, it is questionable whether these messages were the work of the murderer at all. Why should he fool around chalking things on walls when his life was imperilled by every minute he loitered? Murderers do foolish things, I know, but such an action does not fit into the mental picture I have formed of the character of Jack the Ripper.""The full picture always needs to be given. When this does not happen, we are left to make decisions on insufficient information." - Christer Holmgren

It’s speculation of course but Long might have lied about how diligently he was doing his job when he passed along Goulston Street at 2.20 and Harvey might have lied about going to the Mitre Square end of Church Passage, but we certainly can’t assume that this was the case. The only reason that I have slightly more suspicion against Harvey is that he was dismissed 6 months later. We don’t know what it was for of course but he might not have been the most diligent of officers.Regards

1) The idea that there were missing organs comes from the examining doctors, not the police. Dr Phillips first stated it at the Chapman Inquest.
Dr Brown stated it as well, in the Eddowes Inquest.
So taking that all into account the police investigation into the murders of Chapman and Eddowes was based on the facts that they were both killed by the same hand, and the killer removed their organs at the crime scene. Additionally, in the case of Eddowes a piece of apron matching a piece of apron found in Eddowes possessions was believed to have been taken away and dropped by the killer in GS. That is the police theory!!!!!!
2) The most logical explanation for Eddowes apron being cut is that the killer did it. The idea that Eddowes did to to use as a sanitary napkin collapses once you look at the inventory of items found on her body, which includes "12 pieces white rag, some slightly bloodstained".
There is no logic in a murder investigation.
As to the 12 pieces of rag, we do not know the quality of this material. Eddowes was described as being a hawker so she may have had them in her possession to sell 12 pieces of the same material is suggestive of that. The bloodstaining was clearly a result of her being stabbed in and around the abdominal area
3) Some police thought the Goulston Street Graffito was written by the Ripper. Others did not. I have seen no signs that there was an official theory, let alone signs of beat constables lying to support the theory.
I never mentioned constables lying, I stated some of their inquest testimony was misleading

Insert conspiracy theory here.

If Eddowes cut up her apron that day in order to use it as a sanitary towel, I wonder what other items of her clothing she cut up every other day when she needed to cope with her menstrual cycle, if she couldn't use her high quality rags!

Researchers need to take the blinkers off and think outside the box
But I do not intend to debate this issue yet again it has been debated more times than I care to mention
Researchers can believe what they want to believe in fact no one has been able to come up with a plausible and believable explanation for the killer to cut a piece of apron and deposit it in GS

There’s no need to debate anything on this particular issue. The cloth came from Eddowes apron and it was put there by the killer. The chances of any other explanations being correct are so vanishingly remote that they can’t be discussed seriously. There’s nothing wrong with taking a fresh look or of looking at something from a different perspective but it doesn’t mean that we should feel obliged to ‘insert’ a new theory just for the sake of it. Some theories have become ‘established’ for a very good reasonRegards
