Who was Jack's first murder poll!

[lynn cates]

new poll

Hello SD. I think that you have wisely given a good premise for a new poll. To wit, how many believe in the C5?

Cheers.

[sdreid]

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


Like:Smith, Nichols, Chapman, Eddowes, Kelly

Or:Nichols, Chapman, Eddowes, Stride, McKenzie

[sdreid]

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

What about a C6?

[sdreid]

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

[sdreid]

Ah, a three way tie for eighth.

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

Hi Sally:

There is a poll regarding that topic over on jtrforums

[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.

[sdreid]

Think the MM release probably had some effect on that.

[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]

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

[sdreid]

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

[sdreid]

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

[sdreid]

No surprise that Fay is at 0.
