We have another.... 'The Carman's Shadow : Charles Lechmere and the Jack the Ripper Murders.'
The Carman's Shadow presents a ground breaking investigation into Charles Lechmere, the seemingly unremarkable cart driver who discovered the body of Polly Nichols on August 31, 1888. For decades, Lechmere was dismissed as an unfortunate witness who happened to stumble upon the Ripper's first canonical victim. But what if investigators got it wrong?
This meticulously researched true crime investigation reveals:
Lechmere's disturbing connections to multiple murder sites
Previously overlooked inconsistencies in his witness testimony
Geographic evidence linking him to the killer's movements
Psychological profiling that challenges the accepted timeline
New analysis of Victorian police records and coroner's reports
Through careful examination of primary sources, police files, and contemporary newspaper accounts, this book builds a compelling case that the man who claimed to discover the victims may have been the very person responsible for their deaths.
Could the most famous serial killer in history have been hiding among the witnesses all along?
