Originally posted by Pandora View PostYes, I have read all the threads on Richardson, many times over. Although a few posters do dance around the idea that Richardson was suspicious, most seem to believe he was just an honest albeit a slightly dim witness. But while some of the posts may have alluded to it, none of the threads are about John Richardson BEING Jack the Ripper, as I stated.
Cheers,

Yes I’ve always thought 29 Hanbury must have had some connection to who Jack was, because it was the only murder site that was a residence. It definitely makes me want to look more closely at the people that lived there, not less.Last edited by RockySullivan; 02-04-2016, 12:16 AM.

Hi Rocky,
Originally posted by RockySullivan View PostI see you've rebranded my theory as your own lol. I suggested the "No" was Mr.s Richardson a while back, you are forgetting that Richardson admitted to carrying a knife in his pocket and that he WAS interviewed as a suspect and viewed with suspicion by the coroner. And also the man who he claimed was the ripper that accosted him the street from the press report, that is the most suspicious part of all. His mother also knew nothing about any robbery, then suddenly remembered the tools had been stolen. Tools were also stolen from Whitehall shortly before the torso. I have repeatedly stated I believe there is a connection between the stolen tools at whitehall and the ones at 29 hanbury. For Richardson to be looked into more closely, the mystery that is Francis Tyler must be uncovered.
Either you can't read or you haven't read through the thread gut posted. I suspect both.Cheers,
Pandora.

Which is why it is my theory, and not yours.
That is just your opinion though, and notwithstanding, how do we know John Richardson was not initially interviewed as a suspect? Since he placed himself at the crime, at around the time Annie was murdered, I would have thought it very remiss of the police NOT to consider him a suspect first, before deciding he was only a witness.
Cheers,
Pandora.

It seems we came to the same idea independently of each other, I’ve had this theory rumbling around in my head for about 2 years now, so no rebranding of your idea happened, sorry you feel that way.
And yes I can read Rocky, there is really no need to be rude. I stand by what I said. You made a post suggesting your theory, but I was referring to threads dedicated to the subject. You could have started this thread yourself, and I would have embraced your idea’s, not accused you of being illiterate.

By the way I was only joking when I said MY theory but I thought it was hilarious when you said to gut "this is my theory not yours" ha ha. Yes I did suggest the no heard was Mrs R in the yard but I doubt I'm the first. Credit is certainly due to Wolf for his dissertation most of all. I can't imagine you haven't read the dissertations or understand why you wouldn't read through the inquest and news reports and firstly read through the other Richardson threads if you are so interested in Richardson but if you had youd see he was a POI right off the bat

So one of the few Ripper suspects to take seriously then. Sounds a much better suspect than Crossmere, Tumblety, Druitt etc.
Cheers John

Hi,
In Ripperology we seem to have gone through the lists of suspects, over the years with no conclusive proof, so now we are paying attention to witnesses, who we can place at the scenes.
Hutchinson being at the head, followed by Cross, now Richardson, we have more to consider such as Cadosch, or Schwartz, who also were at the scene of the crime, even Mrs Long?
That is why the case of Jack the Ripper is so fascinating, we simply have no idea , who the killer was, and as much as it seems unlikely that a witness , was the murderer, they at least can be placed at the scene.
We all know , if the killer is ever revealed to everyone's satisfaction, its likely we will say.''Surely not''.
Regards Richard.

So true.
I guess there's also the fact that they are the only ones we can put names to, as opposed to the one I think is really the odds on favorite A N Unknown.G U T
There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.
