Issac Jacobs

[The Rookie Detective]

If we for a moment consider that Alice McKenzie was a victim of JTR...

Is it rather peculiar that Issac Jacobs who was the man seen by PC Andrews and the only person within close proximity of Castle Alley around the time Andrews discovers the body at 12.50am, that Jacobs was on his was to John McCarthy's shop for some supper? The same John McCarthy who was MJK's landlord. Jacob said to Andrews he was running an errand...what if that errand involved McCarthy?

So we have a potential link by proxy between Mckenzie and McCarthy, being that the man found approaching the murder site was on his way to the shop of the former landlord of MJK.

Isn't that something to look into?

Was Jacob's working for McCarthy


Was Jacob's the ripper?


Now that's not a question that's asked every day!

I can believe AMcK was a Ripper victim (and Frances Coles for that matter).

Was Jacobs the man followed by the P.C. from Mitre Square? Was he the man who said (paraphrasing) "I say old chap, there's a woman been terribly murdered along there" at Bucks Row.

And I've always been suspicious of McCarthy when it comes to MJK. Call it instinct. Call it coincidence. Call me daft.
