Who was Jack's first murder poll!

[sdreid]

Well, at least 3 think Jack started before 1888.

[sdreid]

No surprise that Fay is at 0.

[sdreid]

That would 40% that she was victim of JtR - 100% that she was a victim

[sdreid]

About 35% that she was the first and about 40% that she was a victim.

[sdreid]

Personally, I'd put Tabram at about 35% now but I see I'm in the minority.

[Nothing to see]

Fisherman, you sometimes get things wrong.

Tabram was not one of Jack's. Nothing I have read has ever convinced me otherwise.

[sdreid]

Think the MM release probably had some effect on that.

[sdreid]

Tabram seems to wax and wane. From what I've seen she would have been on most people's list 50 years ago but 20 years ago she would have been off the list of the majority in the field. Now Tabram is back up at least in popular culture.

Hi Sally:

There is a poll regarding that topic over on jtrforums

[Sally]

Interesting..

.. that most people who have voted on this poll think that Tabram was the first victim. I don't know that I would have expected that.

It would be just as interesting to see who ended up at the other end of the spectrum - who was Jack's last? I think that would also be an interesting poll to take. I'm not sure my money would be on Kelly.

Best regards

Sally

Ah, a three way tie for eighth.

[sdreid]

Yes Corey, around here that's about on a level with the C5.

[corey123]

What about a C6?

[sdreid]

Or, an even bigger challenge, a C2 or a C20

[sdreid]

Yes, or maybe a thread where posters are required to come up with their best personal "C5" that isn't The C5.
