Hello Mike. Thanks.
“I really have no happiness staked on any outcome of a review of the known facts with respect to Kate or the others...”
I have. I want an explanation—one which is consistent.
“ . . . but as I said at the outset, this is hypothetical and needs a good stretch out to see what happens.”
Wholeheartedly concur.
“One of the reasons I missed these exchanges is because I can’t think of another place where people who are generally intelligent and of sharp intellect and students of the Ripper crimes can exchange reasonable ideas to help solve the cases.”
Quite.
“A personal thing and a political thing could be intertwined Lynn...”
Indeed. I can see that with MJK.
“ . . . but I don’t see the personal touches on the murder.”
Very well.
“ For instance, if it’s personal and therefore from passion of some sort, then why take any organ let alone a kidney?”
Well, the uterus would ape Annie’s slaying. Kidney? Can’t say at this stage.
“ Why not rage wounds?”
No. This seems to me cold and calculated.
“ Is someone close to her and usually unfamiliar with violence of that nature suddenly on-the spot going to think of replicating a Ripper act as a decoy?”
Yes.
“ I think Mary Kelly has "personal", if you will, damage though.”
Confere supra.
“Let’s say Kate knows some bad people. My feeling is Irish self rule terrorists, but that’s not a requirement here.”
OK, because it’s a bit vague. I eschew “Fenian” because I prefer the nuances here. I have studied these blokes closely and know whom is capable of what—and not.
“She feels that one or more may be involved in these killings and she isn’t sure whether it’s because the women were informants or the like, or because these men were simply evil.”
So she thinks she understands who is killing in WC? OK, but when did she arrive at the view? Just after her return to London?
“In her mind she has 2 goals...1 is to stop the killings because she is exactly like the women being murdered, and 2 is to make a p or 2 while doing that. Being a street wise gal she decides the right play is to let the culprits cough up more dosh than the reward offered at the time, so she lets it be known locally that she intends to name someone to the cops.’
Which reward is that, Mike? Was it a private one?
“ A meeting takes place on behalf of this unknown entity, and the bad guys decide she knows too much. So they agree to her terms, and set a meeting which they wait patiently for her to arrive at. Because that meeting is in their interest, not hers.”
OK. But my problem is that no one at the pub came forward with details on Kate.
“She meets her contact late....he surprises her and she is startled and puts her hand on his chest, apologizing for her delay and thanking him for waiting for her. They proceed into the square, and the man or men that kill her are there.”
I like that body English, but she is intent on Mitre Square—in fact, she is like a moth drawn to the flame. Was there to be a meeting? When? Did not gaol throw off the timing?
“You know Lynn how much money was changing hands at that time...be it within the terrorist organizations, from Police to terrorist double agents, from the crown to finance undercover work...and with the Parnell Commission ongoing and the risk of exposure people must have gone to some lengths to protect their secrets and identities.”
OK, no need to convince me here. I could provide a litany. (heh-heh)
Cheers.
