It appears that the police were all at sea with not only the five but some of the others as well. You have Macnagtnen and Hans Cristina Anderson suggesting five and five only.
Swanson includes Tabram and Coles as likley Ripper victims in his list.
So if they couldnt agree then why should you and others now be adamant that the C5 were the work of the same killer.
The flaw in your logic here is so amusing that I think I will hold back from pointing it out to you. Good luck with your 20th century investigation.
Either we have numerous killers murdering in similar fashion, or we have one. Those who believe in the former will pick up on the most minor of discrpencies and make them into a major. This whilst ignoring the issues concerning such a theory.
Its questioning for the sake, and actually contradicts there goal of obtaining the truth, the irony.
However, there's no need to tell you this.

Everyone strives for the truth but in reality and due to the passage of time the real truth may never be known. However factual evidence will point us towards what the real truth may have been.
But sadly there are those that still think they know the real truth and will not accept that the ripper mystery has moved on in leaps and bounds over the past few years leaving many out on a limb to languish in old outdated theories which do not now stand up to close scrutiny, In addittion they to cling to suspects who have no evidence against them to warrant them being classed as a suspect and should be removed from the list.
Is it because its what you want to beleive because they fit nice and snuggly into a theory.
And do you flog your own theories because you are simply a public-minded citizen eager to explain away misconceptions about the Ripper murders or because you have books and lectures (and likely yet another book on the horizon) to foist upon the public? No shame in the latter position, but do be up front about your reasons for posting.
No question that Rob House has an investment in the Kosminski-as-Ripper theory, but then so do you have an investment in trying to tear down Kosminski or any other suspect other than your own.

"To expose [the Senator] is rather like performing acts of charity among the deserving poor; it needs to be done and it makes one feel good, but it does nothing to end the problem."
By the way Trevor, I thought you had some new evidence that was going to put Kozminski to bed once and for all. What ever happened to that?

Oh I have it dont worry, but I am burying another suspect first!.
I see you and Martin Fido are also appearing at York perhaps you should team up and do a double act beween you both you might be able to come up with the right Kosminski.
Thats of course if in fact there ever was a viable suspect named Kosminski ?

Absolutely,
And their are those who still do the same, whilst creating baseless new theories for the sake of providing a hook for their book/TV programme/show*.
They are equally capable for the myth and confusion.
