The Missing Evidence - New Ripper Documentary

[Monty]

Newspaper reports of Nichols Inquest. No official reports from the looks of it.

Adam Griffiths was told what to look for. Instead of being asked to read the Inquest Reports and form an opinion on the witnesses, everything was pointed out to him.

I see, cheers

Believe it or not Trobert the scenes that made it to the final edit were recreations. Each scene was actually filmed numerous times and the version shown is from numerous different versions cut together to form a narrative that looks seamless.
He had a dossier of all the newspaper reports, inquest reports and official files to study before hand.
Which one do you imagine he was unaware of?

His name was Andy not Adam.

[Lechmere]

I know for a fact that Andy Griffiths had studied the case extensively before he met Christer - there were two particular crime scene insights that he had which (disappointingly) didn't make it into the final edit.

Who provided the dossier?

There was only one redeeming feature in this program and that was a photo of Charles Lechmere.

That's a step up from most Ripper docs. I trust Ed will allow Ripperologist to publish the photo as a journal exclusive?

Yours truly,

Blink - but Griffths read around it anyway.

But anyway - tell me what fact he was unaware about that would have changed his opinion.

The basic fact is that as we know that Charles Lechmere was found by the body, and as we have absolutely no information to suggest that he was cleared, no other suspect can get traction until Lechmere is cleared.
In simple criminological terms he is the top suspect.
No one else could be prosecuted without Lechmere being eliminated.
That was another one of Andy Griffiths insights.

And still couldn't get it right.

I would have thought he would have made better use of them then. As he seemed to be unaware that Neil and Thain were there at 3:45 a full minute before the program makers claim Paul got there.

His name was Andy not Adam.

My mistake, I work with someone called Adam Griffiths.

[Lechmere]

I don't need to know about your sleeping arrangements Trobert.

Andy explained why he placed more reliance on Robert Paul's timing.
I actually questioned him about this afterwards.

Just goes to show how much he knows.

Try spelling my name correctly for once.

Blink.

And they gathered their own dossier, yes?

Hi,

Excuse my lack of Knowledge on this suspect but have been out of the loop for a while. But could someone answer the following.

1. Why didnt the police at the time think him a likely JTR ?

2. Why go to all the bother of trying to confuse with his identity, whilst giving his correct address, also wouldnt he have been checked out ? If not why not ?

3. I am certain that I read a book many many years back naming Lechmere ( or maybe Paul ) as a suspect....anyone comfirm this please ?

Regards.

Why not just not come forward? also the police must have checked into him at the time any person found by a murder victim would be looked at.

1. Because there is nothing to suggest he was.

2. He didn't give a false name. He gave an alternative family name. Exactly, none off the Lechmere brigade can answer this. If you just murder someone you are going to give a completely different name. A false address and a false place of work. Lechmere did none of this.

3. Nothing springs to mind and I have read most if not all the books.

Did he willingly show up to the inquest without being told he had to?
