What would it take?

right. a great example of a NON-planned double event. ; )

Absolutely, Abby.

Ted Bundy had at least one of those too, and Mark Dixie more recently, in South Croydon, although in all three cases (including Thornhill) the first victim lived to tell the tale, with the result that a second was sought who paid the full price.

As the ripper wanted to mutilate, the fact that Stride died doesn't make the 1888 double event significantly different from these modern cases. The frustration at not being able to do his thing in Dutfield's Yard without seriously risking capture would explain why Eddowes had to die at all, let alone treated with such brutality afterwards in the limited time and light allowed.

Love,

Friese-Greene made his second patented motion picture camera in 1888, it was the first to use a single lens. His earlier one used 16. What are considered the oldest surviving "movies" were made in 1888 by Louis Le Prince- Accordion Player, Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge and Roundhay Garden Scene. Using his own single lens camera (except maybe Leeds Bridge, there is debate he used his 16 lens model.) Le Prince disappeared with almost all his work in 1890.

I don't know if you are aware of it but there was a book on Le Prince and his odd unknown fate, "The Missing Reel". It was published over a decade or so ago.
