Actually, if you’re posting comments then feel free to use the following: I have been constantly amazed by how certain contributors to Casebook are in a state of perpetual denial - in particular over the false name. Of course the evidence against Lechmere isn’t watertight - at this distance it would be astonishing if absolute proof came to light - but considering that all other suspects have so little going for them I am stunned that so many obviously intelligent people can look for problems with Lechmere rather than the glaringly obvious pointers to guilt. The most compelling argument is that of ALL the facts we know about Lechmere - not ONE raises a legitimate question mark over the man.
As you know, in the programme we inevitably had to leave out a lot of evidence. the most obvious is that if Lechmere was the killer then he would have almost certainly been lying about the time he left for work. The contradictory times given in the show were too complex to cover in detail so we glossed over them - but not without good reason. Interestingly the police timings do seem to support each other - and contradict Robert Paul - however the most damning timings are between Lechmere and Paul. Whatever time they left - there is no way Paul was anywhere near to Lechmere at the apparent time of death - it almost defies logic that anyone else could have killed Nichols - whether at 3.40 or 3.45. In reality I believe he had far more time than we gave him - at least ten minutes more. We didn’t talk about the bizarre stopping of Paul which was incredibly suspect. We didn’t have time to mention the apron that could so obviously is directly on his route back to Doveton Street. As I said at our meeting I love your explanation for the “Jewes” writing. It makes total sense. We didn’t mention much more about how physically able carmen were - used to handling dray horses and loading and unloading - they were incredibly strong.
My personal hunch is that Lechmere’s eldest daughter was his first victim (although not of murder obviously) and that is why she stayed under the protection her grandmother when he was forced to move. It would be typical if his wife was in denial - but his mother was too long in the tooth to ignore the signs and was intent on protecting her oldest grandaughter. I suspect the double murder happened directly after a failed attempt to get his daughter back. I also suspect that his other killings were opportunistic. He probably saw clients leaving the women and it triggered some kind of rage in him.
I sincerely hope something new comes from this. At least one tweeter was claiming to be his great great grand daughter, we contacted quite a few of his living relatives but no doubt missed a fair few.
