Data Mining to locate the Ripper?

[Robert]

Hi Lynn

True, the rising level of violence might point to an unstoppable train scenario. But there could have been a descending slope to bring the train to rest, if we include, say, McKenzie and Coles.

I was thinking of it in terms of a drug addict or alcoholic, who simply gets sick of what he's doing. In the Ripper's case, he would have had the memory of blood, urine and faeces. Not exactly an attractive thing to return to.

linkage

Hello TQ. It could be that "Jack the Ripper" is a way for human minds to link disparate things. Just an idea.

Hello Cris. Thanks for the kind words.

His physical health may have collapsed. He may have been sent to an asylum. He may simply have got sick of his work.

He may have lost a leg like the probably fictional James Willoughby Carnac and so been unable to continue.

Hi Lyn - that's a bit obscure for a learner - in what sense might the Ripper not have existed?
All the best

I hadn't thought of the possibility of his work being complete. That actually ties in with a theory in the ook I am currently reading called "Hidden Suspect" by Frank Pearse. So far this possibility does seem plausible but I can see I still have an awful lot to learn.

Maybe the rising level of violence had reached a crescendo?
Abberline believed this before he latched onto Klosowski.

By the way, Lynn....

Loved your article on Isenschmid[t]. Whether one agrees with your theory or not, if one is going to consider 'alternative' possibilities in this skien of murders, this is a good example on how to pursue it.

level of violence

Hello Christer. But IF true, the theories about a rising level of violence from Polly to MJK would need to be scrapped.

Robert:

" He may simply have got sick of his work."

True enough, although seldom thrown forward as a possibility. But in fact, such a thing would make a very neat explanation as to why he was never found out or caught.

The best,
Fisherman

Or even continued with a similar MO elsewhere i.e. abroad.

Best wishes,
Steve.

Purely to cover everything Jack may have continued killing with a different m.o. Although I think this is highly unlikely.

[Steven Russell]

He might even have got sick through his work perhaps.

Regards, Bridewell.

If you ask me, he wasn't all that well to start with.

Best wishes,
Steve.

[Bridewell]

He may simply have got sick of his work.

That's certainly what I think. He might even have got sick through his work perhaps.

Regards, Bridewell.

[Robert]

His physical health may have collapsed. He may have been sent to an asylum. He may simply have got sick of his work.

for all X, . . .

Hello Steven. Splendid. ALL the possibilities need be exposed.

Cheers.
