Was The Ripper A Police Official?

[John G]

Erm, yeah, he was.

For reasons I posted many posts ago, and have either been missed or conveniently ignored.

The series murder investigation is really a myth. Each case should always be investigated on its own merit, with common factors between them also reviewed.

Hello Monty,

But at this juncture that is not easy to do, not least because the surviving medical reports lack sufficient clarity. I mean, when reviewed by modern pathologists, engaged by Trevor Marriott, one seemed to think that even a medical expert couldn't have completed the eviscerations in the available time-taking into account lighting conditions-whilst another concluded that he exhibited no skill whatsoever!

Ah, that was you? I'm a subscriber.

An excellent piece, and formed the base of my entry. You shall be fully credited Jeff.

Many thanks Monty. I was once told that I tend to hide my work under a rock, but it is actually that I don't have many occasions to bring my writings to anyone's attention. If you are interested I also wrote an article on the fall of Assistant Commissioner Sir Basil Thomson due to a slight sex scandal in 1926 - also in an issue of the same magazine.

I will say only this much more - at least I am willing to give the title of an article and it's cite in a publication, unlike others who pretend to be writers or thinkers of a serious nature.

Again, much thanks.

Read that also Jeff,

Great work.

Did you also do a piece on a H Div Bobby based at the Tower?

Cheers

No, not easy to do John,

However there are other commonalities beyond the medical.

Hello Neil.

"The series murder investigation is really a myth. Each case should always be investigated on its own merit. . ."

Hmm, I owe you a pint.

Next time I'm in Leicester . . .

Cheers.

Hi Monty,

No sorry. That last article is not one by me. Glad you liked the Thomson article.

Best wishes,

Jeff

Well Doubt he knew the exact timings of the specific beat times, but probably knew there were beats and that he maybe had 10 minutes max before a copper might appear. Or a random person. He was clever, street smart and very lucky.

Thanks for the reply, Abby.

Or, as an alternative, maybe he wasn't working alone and had at least one lookout to warn him of incoming pedestrians. And maybe that's why he was never caught in a murder scene. That accomplice could even be the man seen by Joseph Lawende talking to the unfortunate victim.

Perhaps the police suspected this and issued the pardon to "anyone other than the murderer" (having been pressured by Lusk) after Kelly's murder.

Well... it's a lot of maybes but still no proof...
