Favoured Suspect...

[Scott Nelson]

But where were those elusive piles of sawdust that would conclusively place Bury at the murder scenes?

Bury reportedly didn't actually do much work instead he spent most of the time drinking so I think it unlikely there would be any sawdust at the murder scenes.

I disagree. I believe the Police's prejudices and lack of knowledge of serial killers lead them to think Bury innocent when Bury was in all likelihood Jack. Let's not forget that the Police at the time thought Chapman (totally different M.O.) and Druitt and Tumblety who frankly have little going for them as top suspects.

The police were nowhere near that uniform in their opinions.

Chapman was favored by Abberline and no one else.

Tumblety was favored by Littlechild and no one else.

Druitt was discounted by Abberline, Littlechild, and Reid.

Any several other police were sure that nobody had correctly identified the Ripper.
