    Hi Joshua,

    In addition to what Steve writes in his last sentence in post #510, there's also the possibility I described in post #481.

    All the best,

      • Couldn't some create an animated reconstruction of Lech/police/killer's movements?

          There is this one, but it needs expanding a bit...

            There's a very interesting breakdown of just this in Steve's brand new (today) book...

              If Neil was actually in the upper part of Queen Ann Street when Lechmere & Paul passed Queen Ann St. on their way to Mizen, then my guess would be that Neil was somewhere in Thomas Street when the Ripper left Nichols' body on hearing Lechmere at the Brady Street end. The most sensible route would seem via Wood's Buildings into Whitechapel Road. Since no alarm would be raised for at least a minute or so before Lechmere would reach the body, there would be no reason for the Ripper to be 'detected' either during that time and after that he would be quite safely in Whitechapel Road.

                  • And after examination of all the alternatives, Wood's Buildings is indeed one of Steve's more favoured routes...

                        hi el
                        yeah those look good for escape routes and apparently also not to run into one of the police. man he was lucky.


                        heard lech and bolted before lech saw or even heard him
                        picked the correct escape route
                        didn't run into any of the police
                        lech and paul didn't see the neck cut
                        nor yell bloody murder
                        ripper missed neils beat
                        by the time lech/paul reach mizzen and neil also finds the body, the ripper is well on his way safely away from the scene.

                        what did sugden say? the luck always ran with the ripper. and the police officer (forgotwho)- I am amazed at the mans elusiveness.

                        it really is amazing.

                          i think there is a very good chance that the killer had left sometime before Lech arrived, if it wasn't him, that is.
                          And i am not going to exclude him,i think its highly unlikely, but he cannot be ruled out.

                          i think most serial killer probably are very lucky, thats how they get away with it often.

                            If he wasn't lucky, we wouldn't be talking about him today.

                              Indeed Abby, it's about as amazing how lucky Lechmere was if he was the killer.
