Conspiracies have and do exist. Regards

Indeed, Spyglass, and to this day Governments and the police are sometimes involved in cover ups and conspiracies - there is an example in the news now in the UK.

Governments & cover-ups pretty often go hand-in-hand, and yes there can be conspiracies to cover-up, but what we are talking about is a conspiracy to murder a commoner, not a high profile politician, or spy, but a nondescript prostitute who few people ever believe when they tell a story.
Just don't be led astray by the long debunked Royal Conspiracy theory of the 1970's. Conspiracy theories should be the result of evidence, not conjecture.

Hi

Yes ofcourse, but we really dont know what or who MJK really was do we.
I wasnt going down the Royal Conspiracy route here, but have had a long interest in the Feinian angle, but have never had a one single suspect/theory...I'm open minded, but again it is a possibility and plausible that Eddowes could have been the wrong target.

This thread saddened me because it calls to my attention that we really don't know Mary Kelly's true name. The killer tried to destroy her identity but effectively reinforced a false one, and we still can't ascertain who she really was - and that matters for her memory and dignity. I'm thankful for the researchers who are still trying to discover the real Mary Kelly.
