And who is Davidīs "viable" suspect?
Is it Francis Tumblety?
Has Francis Tumblety left any evidence of being the killer?
And how does David (or anyone else) explain Elizabeth Jackson, Alice McKenzie and the Pinchin Street torso?
There are two reasons that I canīt name the person I think was Jack the Ripper and I have told you about these.
And I prefere to not take part in constructing garbage in > garbage out theories about the Whitechapel killer, which also the theory of Tumblety is, not matter how "respected" their authors are considered by you to be.
I can tell you that the best ideas of who the ripper might have been are some of the ideas written here on the forum by people who are not authors. Some of those are newcomers to the forum and some of them are people who, since many years, have had an interest in who the ripper was and have not decided on a certain susupect or theory.
The are the most reliable persons to debate with since they are not stuck with a suspect that they have to defend.
So if you think that writing and selling books about "Jack the Ripper" is a good way forward to find the Whitechapel murderer, you should go on buying these books.
But if you think that going over the sources from 1888-1889 again and again is a better idea, you should do this.
And I can tell you that I will be the first to admit if I am wrong. I would do it gladly.
