    We have the statement of Griffith,who is adamant,according to Fisherman,that the killer of Nichols would never have run.What is not included in the statement is WHY,and I suppose,though it is not mentioned,would not hide either.Now do not ask me if hiding was a possibility,the rules seem to be that a claim does not have to have a supporting explanation.If Nichols could reach Bucks Row without being seen or heard,then I see no reason why the killer could not have departed without being seen or heard,hence I see no reason for staying.
    Well harry
    If you knew that the laughing about Andy griffith was in reference to the australian comedian and not the criminologist then i guess youll admit your mistake when you said people were laughing at the criminologist because his credentials were suspect?

    • Abby,
      The mistake I made,was in wondering if the Australian Andy Griffith was the person reffered to.So I am admitting to that mistake.Does that change things?

That would be evidence of deliberate deception, but not enough to hold him on suspicion of anything worse. He was bound to have an 'innocent' explanation for the name change, whether he was genuinely innocent, or a criminal with something to hide, so there would have been little to gain from asking the question and alerting him to the fact that he was in their sights as more than just an honest witness. And Lechmere would have had no opportunity to explain himself - yet.

        If and when he put another foot wrong, however, the police could have been ready and waiting, for all he knew. How much harder would it then have been to find a second or a third 'innocent' explanation, when combined with his one-off use of a different name? For starters, there was the apparent lie he told PC Mizen on the night of the murder, and the apparent lie he told under oath at the inquest, using the wrong name, when he contradicted Mizen's version of their conversation. He had no way of knowing if the police were making careful notes and adding them to concerns they already had about him. He really would have been operating in the dark to pick up Annie Chapman so soon afterwards. Lucky old Lech!

        The whole answer to this in my opinion is very simple.

        It matters not what name he used up until the inquest, the point is that any ambiguities regarding this were obviously clarified by then, by the police, as there is no evidence that he was questioned about using different names, or that anyone had any cause for concern about him using different names when he gave his inquest testimony.

        This name issue is just another smoke screen Fish is using to paper over the cracks in his wild speculative theory.

          Caz dislikes hearing about psychopaths, so letīs ruin her day while at the same time offer the ones who do not know how these people work get educated. This is a very comprehensive video that basically explains all we need to know about psychopathy. Take twelve minutes and wise up, people:

          Letīs hope that Caz understands who is the real twit after having watched it...

          Thatīs all from me for today.
          Just watched the video you recommended, Fish. At around 8 minutes in, I'm told by the expert that psychopaths often don't think in terms of consequences, so they have a tendency to lie, cheat and steal and they tend to have very inconsistent work histories - because they are not able to hold a job.

          So much for ruining my day, eh Fishy?

          So who is the real twit?

            Your whole point is that he could not have known if he was under suspicion.

            My whole point is that psychopaths always work from the assumption that they are too clever to ever get under suspicion, and even if they end up as suspects, they believe that they will be able to talk their way out of it.

            The whole problem with the "He would have run" argument and the "He would never dare to do that" argument, is that you are not researching the Ripper - you are researching Darryl Kenyon, and concluding that you would NEVER...! No, Sir - way too risky!

            These people are not like you and me. Sutcliffe was interviewed NINE times. That should have put him off, right? But did it? No. And why? Because he worked from the assumption that he would not get caught. Or he did not even care, as long as he was free to kill. Experience told him he could go on. If they speak to you nine times and if they canīt nail you, then why stop?
            Ridgway was suspected and kept killing.
            Gacy was suspected and kept killing.
            Bundy got caught and escaped from prison. Did he go to South America and stay calm? Or did he go to Florida and kill a whole bunch of women, leaving his teeth marks on the buttock of one victim?
            That is what these guys do. There is no tomorrow for them, there is only here and now when they kill.

            Hereīs a question for you, Darryl - would you merrily spend an hour or two in a locked room with Carl Panzram, if he was under suspicion of murder? On account of how you could feel safe in that case?

            I know I wouldnīt.
            Right, so remind me of Andy Griffiths's reasoning on this one, Fish. When he said he was 'adamant' that a serial killer in Lechmere's position would 'never' have run away [this assumes of course that Lechmere was indeed a serial killer, and not just an innocent witness who stayed to ask the next passer-by to assist], was this not because the killer would have feared the consequences of running and possibly being caught as a result? How would that fit with your ripper being a psychopath? Or was Griffiths only talking about psychopathic serial killers, and saying they would 'never' [that word again] have feared the consequences of running away in those circumstances, but would simply always opt for staying put and talking their way out of it - because they are all clever like that?

            Did Griffiths mean 'no serial killer' would ever have run, or 'no psychopathic serial killer'? Was he not referring to the precarious position Lechmere was in if he was the killer, and the risks involved if he had tried to leg it? If not, what exactly was he referring to? Because you seem to be saying that Lechmere, in the ripper's shoes, would have seen no precarious position, but just the irresistible chance to show off how clever he was.

            In short, how does your position equate with Griffiths's?

              Mine too, etenguy. I would imagine he was at the very least comfortable with approaching, or being approached by his victim type, and not appearing to them like a fish out of water.

              I don't know how many hours Lechmere spent working each day, including the walk there and back, but I also wonder how much time and energy he had left for engaging with prostitutes, considering all those prams he was busy filling at home.

              Serial killing seems like a hobby far more suited to those with too much time on their hands and nobody to answer to - which might explain the explosion over the next century, as working hours became fewer and more flexible, and conditions less harsh, and families became much smaller, lessening financial responsibilities and increasing personal freedom.

                  Which makes the point Ive raised a thousand times here more pertinent...just how many victims can we be sure were soliciting when they met their killer. The answer is 2. We have statements that Polly and Annie admitted to their activities to confidantes. That's it.

                  Serial killing seems like a hobby far more suited to those with too much time on their hands and nobody to answer to - which might explain the explosion over the next century, as working hours became fewer and more flexible, and conditions less harsh, and families became much smaller, lessening financial responsibilities and increasing personal freedom.

                  I realize that 2 murders can constitute a "series", but the way I see the outdoor killings could easily have been done on the way to, or from, work. Particularly if the work involved blood of some sort.
                  I would imagine unless he changed his appearance often, he wouldn't have been someone that the streetwalkers knew, before the first killing anyway.

Witnesses who directly identified someone were the strongest evidence they had outside of being caught red-handed and it is often these types of convictions that are not always sound.
                      Were you not some sort of a biologist? Or are you in fact a barrister? If you are going to challenge Scobie on this matter, that is what it takes. If he says there is a prima faciae case suggesting that Lechmere was the killer, then that is arguably based on better insight into matters of law than what can be offered by a biologist.

                      Correct me if Iīm wrong.

                        He would NEVER be able to know that the police did not nurture suspicions against him according to this scheme of yours. Not one week after, not one month or one year after.
                        So when WOULD he kill again? Pray tell us! Where goes the vital boundary in these errands? And how is the order kept by those who have executive authority of matters of law? Do they explicitly forbid serial killers to strike until after a fortnight, perhaps?

                        Exactly how does this work, Caz?

                          I donīt know which picture Griffiths had of Lechmere. He would certainly know that more than 90 per cent of the serial killers are psychopaths, and so the logical guess is that Lechmere would have been of this ilk to, if he was the killer.

                          As I have stated before, psychopaths are not given to panic. They do not even have the same reflexes as normal people have. And on a general level, they enjoy playing games with people, conning them. They are, generally speaking, good liars.

                          You now reason that if he stayed put, he would have done so out of a fear of being caught, and the reasoning on your behalf goes like this:

                          Fisherman says that psychopaths are fearless.

                          Lechmere feared getting caught.

                          Therefore, he cannot have been a psychopath.

                          And you probably congratulate yourself on being very clever.

                          Hereīs the problem: The only alternative to staying put is running.

                          And running is what you do on account of fearing to get caught.

                          So it seems that both alternatives become examples of fear in your able hands.

                          If there is no way to be fearless left to Lechmere at all, then maybe, just maybe, you need to rethink things, Caz.

                            Need I go on?

                            Serial killers can have problems to adjust to a normal role in society, and they can have problems holding down a job. Many are drifters, like Toole, Lucas, Rolling... But a large amount of them have no problems at all in this respect. Indeed, we have Robert Ressler telling us that the archetype serial killer is a family man in his thirties with wife and family and a steady job.

                            And if that makes somebody a twit, then it sure isnīt me. Itīs more likely to be somebody who is not aquainted with the topic he or she speaks about.

                                A very good example of how you are willing to lower yourself to any depth, Caz. Nobody recommended an expert who "did not know what she or he was talking about", of course. It is only when you twist things beyond recognition that such a thing can be suggested.
                                What I recommended was a senior policeman with great insight into different murder cases, and that was precisely what I got too.
                                I furthermore did not want him to be a student of the Ripper case, since I wanted him to comment from an unbiased base.

                                I think that there is no way that anybody can get a more competent judge, and I pity you who choose to do everything in your power to try and not only nullify the judgement of Andy Griffiths but who also have nothing at all against trying to ridicule him on a totally unsound basis.

                                This is the stinking underbelly of ripperology in its worst form. Congratulations, Caz.
