Hi all,
This has nothing to do with my upcoming lecture, but I was curious. Polly Nichols was murdered along PC Thain's beat. He claimed he did not see her lying on the ground when he walked by at 3:15. Recall, Charles Cross saw her lying on the south side of Buck's Row at 3:40.
With the Nichols murder so similar to the Chapman murder, with the exception of no organs taken, it's hard not to suggest the Ripper was not interrupted when murdering Nichols. ...possibly interrupted by Thain walking his beat at 3:15.
Possible scenarios: Thain may have seen her in the darkness, but thought she was just another drunk or Thain was not where he was supposed to be (He would have gotten into a little hot water not walking his beat). Either way, it would have had incentive not to tell the truth.
I'd love to see your thoughts.
Sincerely,
Mike
