    Hi Samurai

    The article mentions Houndsditch, Mary Kelly was retained in Shoreditch.
    That photo is of Kate Eddowes, who also went by the name Kelly.

    Aside from those inaccuracies, we have newspaper reports that the photographer left Millers Court before the body was placed in the shell. In fact we also have a report that the photographer at Millers Court was allowed to take his photo's before the autopsy began.
    This being the case, we have no reason to believe a photographer ever saw the body of Mary Kelly in the shell.
    Regards, Jon S.

      I thank you for the information. Too many people corrupt the little information we do have and manipulate it to fit their theories. I do wonder if there were any mortuary photos of Mary. But unfortunately we may never know.

        I also saw the article said "In that photo, taken in Miller’s Court on November 9, I proved that the murderer was Prince Albert Victor by showing that a Baphomet idol and Eddie’s Order of the Garter insignia was left at the crime scene and was photographed by the police officers who were present in Miller’s Court on that day." I should have realized at that point it was all false.

          Its a photo of Eddowes, as Jon states.

          The face bears no resembalence to the photos we have of Kelly, nor to the mutilations.

          There are errors, again as Jon points out, and the photo matches the other photos of Eddowes.

              Hello Monty, I'm new around these here parts. You mentioned photos we have of Kelly. Are you talking the murder scene photos? If not, please elaborate for me.

              Many thanks.

                  Let alone that if the body in the shell had no breasts due to amputation, there would be great gaping wounds, and a complete reconstruction would surely include re-attaching said breasts...
