Macnaghten as a suspect

[DVV]

Bounjour en toùti,
I know one day the nonsense will reach England, America, etc...
But until now, only the French know...!
Well, I confess... what?
So sad to warn the casebook about a French disastrous book published last year : "Jack l'Eventreur Démasqué" by Sophie Herfort.
300 pages trying to prove Macnaghten is the Ripper. So funny, dear friends.
If you like it, just ask me, and I will try a review of this... thing.
Forget Knight, forgive Fairclought, bow down at Cornwell's knees, 'cause this is really something else, something coming from outer space. Don't you know about Indian shoes in Hanbury Street? The double life of John Pizer? The tarpaulin in Buck's Row? And what about the magical powers of Commissioner Warren? Hmmm?
Hello Sophie, it's Jack, and I wish you were around...
Love is all, but...
Sorry for my broken english,
David (aka Fu Manchu)

Wow, this book sounds amazing!

[Mike Covell]

This sounds awful, similar to "Some bloke with a trowel did it!"

[steje73]

Sounds great. That's it solved right there!

In the library with a candle-stick??

And yet, if it was published in an English translation, how many of us would buy it? Hands up, please...

Herfort's Theory Is At The Museum In Docklands ! (london)

Herfort’s theory is exhibited at the Museum in *Docklands on a big wall made of plexiglas (2nd room) ! Her suspect is counted among the 12 main suspects of this case, through history.

At the end of the day, who cares what you think ?

Thousand visitors have their own opinion now…


*CULTURE SERVES TRUTH, HELPING IGNORANT TO UNDERSTAND…

What is the main interest of this thread ?

Gossips ? What a success !

Well despite that, it is plainly obvious that McNaughtan is one of the most unlikely suspects presented, even more unlikely than the escaped ape I read about!!

Do they list Police Officers during the period?

Inspector Frederick Bailey Deeming?

Chief Inspector Robert D'Onston Stephenson?

Can you spell "Macnaghten"correctly, please ?...

Well despite that, it is plainly obvious that McNaughtan is one of the most unlikely suspects presented, even more unlikely than the escaped ape I read about!!

If you can't spell correctly the name of her suspect (Macnaghten instead of "Macnaughtan" please) in perfect english I'm not sure you can understand this theory, written in french. I suppose you speak french ... Aren't you ? ...
What are your main argument against Herfort's theory ?

(I see bad faith here...)

According to me, she gathered good points :

1 . Sophie Herfort worked with experts (Interpol, criminologists...) and documents : police reports, letters (from National Archives) ...

2. Her work obtains a certain public credibility (Museum in Docklands of London, french interviews TV radios, press),

So, what the serious searchers are expecting from persons without qualifications like you ? Who are you ? EXPERTS ? CRIMINOLOGISTS ? Who are you to decide what's right what's wrong in this case ?

There's no mistaking the signs. If her theory wasn't a worthwile research, this thread wouldn't exist because nobody granted a credibility to her. Many french websites (few are vietnamien and spanish) are talking about her work... The critics gave her a rough ride on Casebook but the real specialists (Experts) accept her theory as a fact, you like it or not ! THAT'S A FACT. Her work was selected among all the bullshits proposed as suspects on this ******* website !

So, why such a thread ? What the main interest ? I notice a whole lack or argument here (against or for Herfort's theory) ! It's easy to criticize and to make childish comments when a person spend 20 years to investigate. He book is released in pocket if you're interesting...

I don't remember but you can visit the museum, Mike.
1 year : 1 suspect. (2007 : Melville Macnaghten)
You'll have an idea, different of what can be said HERE !

You don't seem to have a high opinion of this site Strong. Makes me wonder if you joined just for arguments sake. I am new, like yourself, but you are not going very far to gain friends here....

[Dan Norder]

So, what the serious searchers are expecting from persons without qualifications like you ? Who are you ? EXPERTS ? CRIMINOLOGISTS ?

I'm sorry, but Sophie has far less qualifications to be writing a book about the Ripper than the vast majority of the people on this message board, and the people who are experts and criminologists do not take her book at all seriously.

The critics gave her a rough ride on Casebook but the real specialists (Experts) accept her theory as a fact, you like it or not !

Nobody accepts her theory as a fact, probably not even Sophie herself.

And if some person trying to treat her as a genius while ignoring that she can't get basic facts about the case right (she thinks Polly Nichols' body was found under a tarp -- 'nuff said) has a problem with that, you certainly aren't going to convince anyone you are right by merely insulting everyone here.

The French...man,they're a funny race.
They fight with their feet and....and
...they waste our time and their own with zees incredible theories of seeing ze ghosts of victims on ze streets and fitting up suspects out of ze air ! Who's next? Madame Helena Covell Blavatsky ? Mon Dieu !!!!!!

Being a celebrity on zee French t.v. is like bragging about being the leper with the most fingers.

I have a mystery that you French can try and figure out...if you would,sie vous plais and all that:

When was the War of 1812?
