    I think Blotchy could be anybody so that's why I included him. And is most likely someone we don't even have a name for. But one thing is for certain is that if we believe Cox's testimony, and imo she is one of the strongest witnesses out there, he's 90% the killer of Mary Kelly and in turn the killer of the rest, so he's most likely the Ripper. He also perfectly fits the profile of what I imagine the Ripper would have been like - someone unassuming and typical of the area, but more... downtrodden. As far as him being Kosminski or not, we know next to nothing about Kosminski prior to 1891 except having a run in with the police for walking his brother's unmuzzled dog and working as a barber for a time. It's impossible to know what his build and habbits were during the Ripper killings as there's zero information, but in 1989 he at least seemed pretty functioning in his police encounter. As for Bury, I don't buy him as Blotchy at all. Namely because Cox had a good look on him and he was shaved with a thick mustache. Bury had a thick beard.

      I suspect the unidentified man who accosted women in Bethnal Green Road, and was seen outside the Britannia Pub the night Kelly was murdered, is the most likely Ripper suspect.
      Some say he had strange eyes, others say he walked with a limp.
      He belongs to the middle-class like Druitt, or Neil Cream, not from the lower classes, he will not be found in a lodging house or Work house.

      I accept Dr. Bond's profile of the killer.

      “The murderer must have been a man of physical strength and of great coolness and daring. There is no evidence that he had an accomplice.....
      The murderer in external appearance is quite likely to be a quiet inoffensive looking man probably middleaged and neatly and respectably dressed. I think he must be in the habit of wearing a cloak or overcoat or he could hardly have escaped notice in the streets if the blood on his hands or clothes were visible.
      …..he would probably be solitary and eccentric in his habits, also he is most likely to be a man without regular occupation, but with some small income or pension. He is possibly living among respectable person's who have some knowledge of his character and habits and who may have grounds for suspicion that he is not quite right in his mind at times.”

        Unidentified and never came under suspicion.
        Why a four-year-old child could understand this report! Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can't make head or tail of it.
