Hi JM! I don't really see why we should remove names from the list altogether, all are part of the folklore , no matter how ridiculous! I would however like to see some further categorisation to distinguish ,particularly for the newbie, the potentially serious contender from the downright ridiculous, though I appreciate all are serious to somebody.!? It would be an interesting job for the panel to create something like a premier league, and then some lower divisions!
As regards additions, I'm sure you are aware of the increased interest, since the first release of Broadmoor files, in Thomas Cutbush..he has been much discussed on the boards, but still lacks a profile! I am not the only one on these boards to have queried this.As to why he should be added, well there are others better versed to tell you but briefly:
1.The Sun Reports..in which an apparently reputable newspaper claims to have found Jack The Ripper..and further relates a history which at present cannot be disproved.
2.The Macnaghten Memoranda..written specifically to rule out Cutbush as a suspect, by a police officer whose motives and integrity are possibly open to question.
3.The character of Cutbush as described in the Broadmoor files as a highly dangerous and insane person whose behaviours included expressing a desire to obtain a knife with the express purpose of 'ripping' people up.
4.The bizarre possible connection to Charles Cutbush, an officer initially involved in the case, and whom Macnaghten apparently believed to be Thomas' uncle, who later shot himself in front of his own daughter, for reasons unknown.
Also, I had been considering why you don't ask AP (Cap'n Jack) onto the show (or have you already?) as he is the most vociferous campaigner for and researcher of Cutbush on the casebook, as I am sure you are aware!?
I think the Cutbush story has much going for it myself..more than Druitt or Feigenbaum , both of whom have been the focus of shows with respective researchers, Spallek and Marriot..,and both of whom were fascinating subjects nonetheless!
Anyway...love the podcasts...and keep up the good work!
Respectfully,
WK.
