My wifes deductions

[pinkmoon]

Thought I would share this with you all my wife has just informed me she thinks jack the ripper was a man who owned a knife.So looks like we've just narrowed the field down

[Cogidubnus]

Well it's an advance on my wife, who apparently married me thinking she'd met "Mr Right" rather than "Mr Always Right" !

All the best

breaking her silence

This is the first time in nearly 25 years of knowing her she has broken her silence on the subject at this rate we might have this solved . If she was to get her mother involved in this the possibilitys could be endless.

[Damaso Marte]

Why rule out knife renters? If he dossed for his bed, why not for his knife as well?

[Wickerman]

If she was to get her mother involved in this the possibilitys could be endless.

If she does get her mother involved,....we have a spare room at our house if you're interested

[crberger]

She is brilliant!

There's nothing left for me to do now but retire to the Suffolk Downs and take up beekeeping.

I'll see that, and raise you, he owned a knife sharpener.

Reminds me of a piece of wisdom from Captain Wilton Parmenter (Ken Berry) on the old "F Troop" comedy western series in the 1960s:

"My grandmother used to say, "Show me a thief, and I'll show you a man who steals!""

No Downs

There's nothing left for me to do now but retire to the Suffolk Downs and take up beekeeping.

Holmes would do well to detect any Downs in Suffolk - should that be Sussex?

update

It's official the wife reckons he wore a hat so it's case solved

[pinkmoon]

mother in laws family tree

If she does get her mother involved,....we have a spare room at our house if you're interested

When I traced wife's family tree we were able to find out that her mother was a member of the gestapo in world war 2 apparently she was sacked for cruelty!

[crberger]

Dear SPE:
Oh my, that's so embarrassing!
Can we put that down to late night, long work and a full moon?

[crberger]

Let's keep our head here...

He owned a knife
He owned/wore a hat
He owned/used a knife sharpener
What was his name
WHAT WAS HIS NAME...

Was his name-Jack by any chance?

It used to be questions, too many questions...
Now, thanks to Pinkmoon's wife and in-laws its
Answers, too many answers

Would you ask your wife if he knew any women?

update on idenity of killer

Wife thinks he might have had a beard because" that lorry driver fellow who killed all them women years ago when I was a kid had one".......move over holmes and watson

[Mayerling]

She may be onto something. Maybe the "Yorkshire Ripper" is Jack either reincarnated or by way of a secret time machine!
