Fleming

Hello David. Thanks.

"Yes, but you won't find a better suspect than Fleming in her childhood."

Fleming is a strong suspect,in my book.

Cheers.

Hello David. Thanks.

"What for?"

Well, I'd like to know as much about her as Polly and Annie.

Cheers.

Yes, but you won't find a better suspect than Fleming in her childhood.
Fact is that she was a prostitute living in the East End, just like the other victims.

Queen of cover-up

Hello David.

"And btw, we know whom she was. . ."

Splendid. If you would be so kind as to post her biographical information I'd be much obliged. I could then verify with Ancestry.

Cheers.

What for ?

Oh, I see. She was an Irish terrorist or a secret agent, passing herself as a prostitute in Spitalfields.

And if you could prove this, you'd tell us who was her butcher.

Splendid ! - at the very least.

Cheers

correct

Hello DLDW. Thanks.

"I think we might figure out who"JTR" was before we figure out who "MJK" was. Or rather verify who she said she was."

Likely correct.

I think we might figure out who"JTR" was before we figure out who "MJK" was. Or rather verify who she said she was.

Yes. And btw, we know whom she was : a prostitute of the East End, who was once about to marry one Joseph Fleming.

Are you arguing for the Ripper and Torso murders all being by the same hand?

Not at all.
Are the Torso murders all linked to Whitechapel and Spitalfields ?
I'm therefore merely arguing that JtR did exist, that there was one guy, and one guy only, behind the murders of the C5 and probably some other victims (Smith, Tabram, McKenzie).

Sure couldn't hurt

Hello DLDW. Thanks.

I think the best way to solve who killed "MJK" is to find out whom she was.

Once that's done, it may be relatively easy to find her killer.

Cheers.

Depends.
They may tell something, but certainly not that they were several serial killers in Whitechapel 1888. That idea, although hammered daily, will ever be a nonsense.

[Bridewell]

Have we settled on what a Ripper killing looks like?

As we haven't settled the issue of which murders are and are not by the same hand, the answer has to be 'no'. Was Lynn baiting a trap for the unwary? Surely not!

[Bridewell]

I'm as willing to allow for a mistake as the next man. However, I was ticking off points why he SHOULDN'T have made a mistake.

Again, he was LIVING with MJK for 18 months or so. He SHOULD have been reasonably sure of her identity, even if he didn't point out EVERY single detail to a noisy, insensitive reporter or copper. It certainly is POSSIBLE JB could of have made a mistake, but I think it's unlikely, especially with McCarthy and others saying the same thing. Sure, it MAY have been someone else, but then the mysterious imposter would have to had the same hair, color eyes, build, wearing MJK's nightie, etc to confuse EVERYONE (except Maxwell, Morris).

Apologies for misconstruing the point being made.

Would you be sure if it was YOUR wife/whatever?

Good question. Yes, I would, but we've been together for rather more than 8 months!

Based strickly upon the data I am not certain. It goes not so far as to make solid conclusions. My instinct tells me there was a single killer about. Trying to figure out the victims.

[DVV]

There are differences and they should not be taken lightly or discarded.
