JTR as a disorganized schizophrenic lust murderer

[Scott Nelson]

Hello, this thread is stupid.

(heh-heh)

At any rate, as Gareth put it, the IWMEC would be a strange choice of place for prostitution.

Hi Lynn, strange or not, the IWMEC was in Berner Street, prostitutes did solicit in Berner Street, and Stride, a known prostitute, was in Berner Street after midnight.

Kosminski research

Hello Henry. Quite. But, as they say, research is ongoing.

Cheers.

I wasn't going to say anything, but . . .

Hello Scott. Is that because you consider Kosminski a non-starter?

Cheers.

Hello David.

1. "the IWMEC was in Berner Street"

Quite.

2. "prostitutes did solicit in Berner Street"

I presume. But certainly unlikely that ALL of Berner st were chaste. So, tentatively agree.

3. "Stride, a known prostitute, was in Berner Street after midnight."

Well, she was there after midnight. Known prostitute? Well, when she was in Sweden. And also assumed so by the police. That night? Ahem.

Cheers.

So what you think, Lynn ?
Police were all wrong, she wasn't a prostitute and she was out in Berner Street after midnight for a cachous tasting ?

[DVV]

If the killer were disorganised, he likely would not have lasted through 5 murders. In fact, I think he would have been apprehended, by, say, September 12.
Cheers.

Problem is that the man who murdered Nichols and Chapman wasn't a disorganised killer. He was an organised opportunist.

assumption

Hello David. Wrong? No, I would have assumed the same.

Think she was there to meet someone.

Cheers.

por que?

Hello (again) David. Why is that?

Cheers.

[DVV]

Think she was there to meet someone.
LC

Indeed. That's what all prostitutes at work are out for.

Hello (again) David. Why is that?

If that is your reply to my "organised opportunist" post, then I tell you the killer is obviously an organised opportunist. It's all in "Crime Scenes and MO for Dummies", my dear.

[DVV]

Now I'm not saying Isenchmid couldn't be organised. Quite the reverse, remembering his capability to collect, prepare and sell succulent têtes de veau sauce gribiche.

See, I seem to recall we had identified traits in these crimes that suggested the killer was disorganized in some respects yet organised in others.
In other words, he was no different than any of us....

Perhaps thats the scary bit...

yes, to meet someone she knew from Dutfields, but still as a prostitute... i think

it is clearly obvious that she was waiting there for someone inside, because she was still there after being attacked earlier on

[D.B.Wagstaff]

I have absolutely no eidence upon which to base this half-baked speculation, but here is a thought:

We know "Jack", or whatever his real name was, was good with a knife, and there seems to be some indications he was physically capable of disabling his victims - choking them unconscious, and possibly a blow to the head.

We know he took some risks, including carrying out his crimes in places where he could have been discovered or cornered.

Maybe Jack was a tough guy who knew how to handle himself and was pretty confident in his ability to either sneak or run away, intimidate any pain-in-the-rear innocent by-standers, or fight his way out if necessary?
