Was She Wrong?

[The Rookie Detective]

And here he is...

Notice the scar/mark/pox/ indentation on his left cheek...

it matches the wepp known sketch of Mccarthy.

I am not suggesting he was the Ripper, but the murder of Kelly stinks of some kind of cover up.

And the reason why he was slow moving...he had a walking stick.

I discovered a document last year that proves he had a physical deformity with the feet (one foot in particular but can't recall which one) that required intervention when he was a young man.

It likely meant he walked with a limp or gait of some kind.


There's so much more if only we choose to open our eyes and look.


Is that Maybrick's watch in the photo?!

haha! Can you imagine!

I am suggesting that Mccarthy was trying to give the impression to the police that he had no way of entering the room, and therefore trying to rule himself out as a suspect.

What gives you the impression that McCarthy would have wanted to let the police think he had nothing to do with Mary Jane's murder? Why do you think he needed to give the police that impression?

By using a pickaxe and not having a key; it's his way of letting the police know that he couldn't have got into Kelly's room to murder her.

Whereas if he DID have a key, then the police would regard him as a suspect because he had a means of access to the murder room.

If it was normal for slumlords to have keys to every house they rented, then it might have been seen as an odd coincidence, to say the least, that not only the renters lost their key, but also the landlord. If, on the other hand, it wasn't normal for landlords to have spare keys, then it would not have raised any eyebrows that McCarthy didn't have one for room no. 13.

It's as with Lechmere/Cross: if he was known as Cross at Pickford's, then the fact that he only used that name would be no issue, whereas if he wasn't known as Cross anywhere, that might have made the police think twice.

PS I see you've already answered my question(s). Thanks for that, RD, very informative.

In what way, R.D.?
