    Possibly stretching it a little too far I am afraid. Maybe an attempted copy cat?

    Really? Thirteen years is still the same generation assuming JTR wasn't dead, committed, or in jail. McCarthy was still alive. I'm not sold either way, just hoping someone is knowledgeable on this murder and can offer me ideas.

It was the same doss house (35 Dorset St) Chapman stayed at before her death, she [Austin]was attacked while asleep or choked out into unconsciousness (like Chapman possibly was in the Hanbury Street yard) and her private parts attacked. To me it seems the killer may have choked Austin while she was asleep but when he started ripping the pain woke her up. Also, there seems to be a discrepancy regarding what cubicle she was actually in. Another interesting point for those that like John McCarthy as the Ripper. He owned the doss house at 35 Dorset St where Austin was attacked. Any opinions or new info would be appreciated. This link from a competitor site is pretty good for those unfamiliar with the case.Click image for larger version

    On the 26th May 1901 Annie Austin was found very seriously injured in a cubicle at a lodging house at 35 Dorset Street. She later died of her injuries.
