Who are the mostly likely suspects?

Leather Apron

Hello Malcolm. Absolutely right. I agree that the police were after "Leather Apron."

Have you considered the possibility that there was a "Leather Apron" and that he was pinched after the Chapman killing?

Now, if you wanted to kill Kate, and if you knew Annie's killer were out of commission, what better plan than to write a letter announcing you were "back in business" and then kill Kate and have her linked to the other murders?

Cheers.

no, because Stride was killed between these two victims !.... so i'd have to kill Stride first before taking on Eddowes.... just in case you forgot about her that's all

SJ

Hello Malcolm. But what has SHE to do with it?

Read the "Saucy Jack" one more time. It sounds like "Ah, yes, there were 2, but that was my plan." Not a bit of it--it was damage control.

Had not the other lady knifing that night been closed, SJ may have read, "Treble event this time."

Cheers.

I was not codding dear old Boss when I gave you the tip, you'll hear about Saucy Jacky's work tomorrow double event this time number one squealed a bit couldn't finish straight off. ha not the time to get ears for police. thanks for keeping last letter back till I got to work again.


Jack the Ripper


no crap..... first one (Stride) didn't Squeal, not in Dutfields..... Couldn't get ears for police, yet you had enough time to gut her instead/ face mutilations etc.... no sorry, this doesn't make sense at all.

hang around with regards to Stride, unless he's refering to Stride falling over and squealing then, thus not being able to finish her off right then, and having to return later

``squealed a bit couldn't finish straight off``....... uum, but Stride when JTR finally struck was an easy kill, so what does he mean, his English is crap, i wonder if this is indeed his first attack as BS, because only the killer will know if his first attack failed, because this postcard got to the police before the story of Schwartz was printed in the papers

``not the time to get ears for the police ``.......uum, only enough time to rip off part of the apron and leg it, yet again only the killer will know this, but he did manage to fool around mutilating her face instead..... no i dont believe this last one, but Stride looks interesting

finally, his English unless he's doing it on purpose, is way too bad to be the graffiti

points

Hello Malcolm. The details could have been picked up from the papers. No problem there. But the perpetrator was blindsided by the Stride killing and needed to account for it.

And yes, the intentionally bad English sounds like what an Irish American would use. So whoever it was, it was NOT an Irish American.

Hi Greg

If the mysterious radio program is discovered (latest report Lynn?) and our illustrious Mr. Fairclough reveals information that supports Toppy as Hutch

"The Ripper and the Royals" was published in 1991, and nobody except Richard has ever believed Toppy was Hutch until the signatures episode. And indeed, the whole story stinks fake, and fake seems the main ingredient in Fairclough methodology.
The radio program wouldn't prove anything, quite the reverse perhaps. I mean, in this really by chance that Reg appeared only twice, first time in the mid-70's (ie : heyday of royal theories), and second time in the craziest royal theory ever, between a fake pic of PAV and Abberline diaries ?

I believe the case for the Hutchinsonians will be severely diminished.

I agree Toppy would make a poor ripper. But I'm afraid he makes a poor witness as well.

Mike,
Still with it,still fairly well.
I think that unwittingly,Kelly gives a hint as to her midnight companion.Cox has kelly remarking that she(Kelly) is going to have a sing,which she does for about one hour.So it seems that sex is not in her thoughts,at that time,when she enters her room.and was not the reason for taking the male there.So who would accompany her,and perhaps more importantly why? What kind of person would she choose.A stranger seems unlikely,but an aquaintance used to her ways would more likely do so.

[lynn cates]

no sex

Hello Harry. Now you're talking! Sex had NOTHING to do with it.

Perhaps we are allies?

the reason for taking Blotchy home is that he was carrying loads of booze in a bucket and when you're in Binge drinking mode, you dont want to stop till you drop, so you carry on drinking at home.

this could either be a friend or a ``friendly`` stranger, but knowing MJK, I expect that she couldn't care less, because the free booze is far more important to her.

any woman taking a stranger back to her place that she has only known for the past 3 hours, is asking for trouble, then and now, even if he's a paying client, because he could still be a murderer as well.

it's a massive risk that they take, because it's exactly what JTR wants, to be invited in !

[DVV]

Or was "singing" a victorian euphemism for what she actually did with Mr Blotchy ?

[Malcolm X]

sex no, because loads of booze = Brewer's droop

or if not, it still spoils it, these two were after a good drink; end of story, well maybe only one was !

[lynn cates]

3 hours

Hello Malcolm. Is there a good reason to believe that MJK knew Blotchy for only 3 hours?

Cheers.

of course not, but i'm guessing that due to her already being drunk, that she was in the pub with him, or had met him close to leaving and he decided to buy more booze to take home, i dont think they met each other out in the street, more likely some time earlier on

if she knew him as as ex, then the residents might have recognised him, this is ok, but definitely not if he's JTR as well, because as JTR he has no idea who might recognise him.... he might be recognised from behind a neighbours window without realising it

as such, i very much doubt that JTR knew her, as someone that visited Millers Court often, only knew her away from this place

Speak for yourself.

previous meeting

Hello Malcolm. I like your hypothesis of their having met before.

Now, to discover the context.

Cheers.
