How Did The Apron Piece Get To Goulston Street?

The shrews are the pets that will not be tamed for nothing.

Hahahaha!

Nice one Yabs!

It’s certainly worth checking Gary. Especially one that possessed a small pair of ladders or else he wouldn’t have been able to reach high enough to have chalked the message.

Edit. I don’t think that ladders would have been required. Aardvarks are quite big and could stand on their hind legs.

Come on Herlock!

Use your Holmesian powers of deduction here!!!

An aardvark can't have written the graffito.

They don't have opposable thumbs to hold the chalk......

I'm not disputing that the aardvark dropped the apron, but he clearly had a primate accomplice who wrote the message.

I'm not 100% certain but the smart money is on a bonobo.

They have quite advanced linguistic skills and, I dunno really, but they just look the type.

Aardvarks look like kangaroos on LSD,so we can include them.

Actually, I favour it being a wombat. A wombat could use its pouch to carry the chalk needed to write the graffito.

you left out the aliens theory

Maybe Gull and Netley gave instructions to the aardvark to take the apron piece to goulston st after they dumped Eddowes at Mitre square.

It’s possible. Plus, aardvarks are nocturnal of course, increasing the chances of one being out and about in Mitre Square at night.

And the sight of the word “gull” the answer became self evident.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Is anyone aware of reports that an aardvark had escaped from the zoo around that time? If so, may I change my vote?

So to recap so far. It’s 8 for the killer, 3 for the aardvark and none for the sanitary towel theory.

Vox populi, vox dei.

[Herlock Sholmes]

You forgot to add as an option…

The piece of apron was there from the start.

Eddowes was killed at Goulston street, her killer cut a piece of apron off to edit his graffiti, then carried Eddowes to mitre sq.


If it wasn’t that, I’m all for the aardvark.

Yabs, you’re a genius. I wish I’d have thought of that one.

I'm on the fence between the killer and the aardvark myself, so went with killer as it was higher in the list.

Hmmmm, perhaps we should look into this aardvark a bit more - what if the killer and the aardvark are one in the same!

Jeff, nice to see that you’re willing to consider not just but the old established theories.
