What makes her such a likely candidate?

Hi Evgueni,

As far as I can see you haven't missed anything, because you've already mentioned the main reason why a number of people believe that Stride was killed by the Ripper: the fact that a certain Ripper victim was killed some hour later.

All the best,

Wich I believe is the most powerful reason. But this is not all. Many things point to JTR. Victimology for one thing. And another powerful thing is the Diemschutz testimony. He provides a reason for JTR to be disturbed. And lo and behold on that very night JTR chooses to move out of what seems to be his "Comfort Zone". Then JTR drops the apron wich seems to trace him back into this "Comfort Zone".
All this adds up to a pretty convincing story. Where as there seems to be no convincing evidence to the contrary. As far as Schwartz is concerned, I dont believe him but if he tells the truth there is no evidence that can say Liz even knew BS Man.

But that seems to be such a weak connection. Wasn't Elizabeth Stride's throat even cut in a different fashion than the other victims? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

Hi! I was just wondering if someone could clear something up for a newbie like me. What clue and/or method of deduction makes Liz Stride such a likely candidate of being a Ripper victim that wasn't mutilated because the killer was sacred off? Because so far, aside from the brutal murder of Catherine Eddows an hour later, she looks to me about as likely (or unlikely) of being a Jack the Ripper victim as Frances Coles or, say, Alice McKenzie. So, what piece of information about Elizabeth Stride's murder am I missing here?
