Is Kosminski still the best suspect we have?

    Not quite. The memo lists him along with Ostorg and Kozminski. So not quite "the man". One of three men. The family thing, especially a well-to-do family like his, would already have had shame brought upon them from his suicide, the incident of the school and his 'sexual insanity'. It would not require much more for one or two of them to make such speculative connections themselves. As we do not know what that evidence is, it certainly was not strong enough for Mac to put his whole reputation on the line by sticking to his one best suspect only. Why bother with Ostorg and Koz at all?
    When Mac retired in 1913 he told those present at the gathering that he knew the identity of the ripper and that he’d committed suicide. So 19 years after the memorandum he goes for Druitt without mentioning his name. It can be no one else though.

      Hello Harry,

        Pointless post, it means nothing.

        Even Macnaghten's own daughter didn't believe him or his fantasy theory.

          The same could be speculated of Kosminski.

            Your opinion is worthy of being ignored.

            Where did MacNaghten’s daughter say that she didn’t believe him?

              and how many time does it need explaining to you why the MM is unsafe, Take the blinkers off. Druitt is not even a good suspect

                Telling someone and having the evidence to back it up are two different things. He had all those years to back it up and what was there nothing, zero, zilch

                  He was busy taking photos and approaching the press.

                  The wrong man in the wrong place.

                  He was carelessly accusing people without doing the slightest of investigation, and gave up to his armchair and the lazy afternoon

                      All you do is parrot the same old, tiresome, biased nonsense then you complain when everyone doesn’t agree with you just because you repeat it so often. You could ‘explain’ it a million times and you’d still be 100% wrong.

                      Ill tell you who isn’t a good suspect Trevor……a man who can’t even be shown to have been in the same bloody country as the victims when they met their deaths. Try taking off the blinkers and accepting that bit of ‘unsafeness.’

                              Although it wouldn't mean that he was JTR, I've often thought that if it could be confirmed that Druitt had volunteered there like many of his peers, it would at least place him in Whitechapel and potentially give him a good working knowledge of the streets.

                              That would put him ahead of Koz by a nose in my book.
                              Almost, except Koz was substantiated by others later on. Still puts him a bit ahead in my book.
