    Stride Poll 2

    Yes, I know, we only had a Stride poll around 6 months ago but I regretted not adding more options. I wouldn’t request that anyone be totally certain about any of the options - so the question is…..which option do you favour as likeliest?
    33
    The Incident occurred/ BS man killed Stride/ He was the Ripper
    21.21%
    7
    The Incident occurred/ BS man killed Stride/ He wasn’t the Ripper
    21.21%
    7
    The Incident occurred/ BS man left/ The Ripper killed Stride
    30.30%
    10
    The Incident occurred/ BS man left/ A man who wasn’t the Ripper killed Stride
    6.06%
    2
    The Incident didn’t occur/ the Ripper killed Stride
    15.15%
    5
    The Incident didn’t occur/ a man who wasn’t the Ripper killed Stride
    0%
    0
    Completely undecided
    6.06%

    Hi Herlock!

    I change my mind on this frequently! I've opted for the incident occurred, but BS man wasn't the killer as my best guess today!

        Hi Mike, I voted for option number 3 but with absolutely no confidence.

        Why a four-year-old child could understand this report! Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can't make head or tail of it.

              Early days but interesting so far. I expected the first option to be out ahead to be honest.

                    Option 8: BS "man" was actually Lechmere's mum, and she killed Stride

                      I didn’t think of that one Sam.

                        I chose "The Incident occurred/ BS man killed Stride/ He was the Ripper", but "The Incident occurred/ BS man left/ The Ripper killed Stride" was a very close second. So I think the incident occurred and that Stride was a Ripper murder, but I'm kind of on the fence about whether or not BS man killed her.

                          I could have added three further options

                          Schwartz got his time estimation wrong - the incident actually occurred before 12.30 - the Ripper killed Stride

                          Schwartz got his time estimation wrong - the incident actually occurred before 12.30 - someone who wasn’t the Ripper killed Stride

                          or the Wickerman suggestion

                          Schwartz saw an incident but in a nearby street and mistakenly thought it Berner Street (after hearing about the murder at around that approximate time)

                            I think the visual evidence from Schwartz is strong. He sees an assault and Stride falling to the ground. However there is lots of other evidence about method of killing etc pointing to JTR. I went with BS killing Stride and he wasn't JTR

                              Just voted, I am firmly of the belief it happened , and BS man was the killer, and JTR.
                              I have constantly commented over the years, more so recently on FB, that people don't seem to want BS man to be her killer, or her killer isn't JTR, ( because if the killer is seen in the act, and it is JTR , they would rather not follow where that inevitably leads).

                              So many argue that BS man killed Liz, but he wasn't JTR, or that someone else came along afterwards and killed her.
