Nina and I just bought the book, The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers....written by Brian Lane and Wilf Gregg ( the gentleman who provides book critiques for Ripperologist....).
The thing that stood out to me ( aside for the error in describing Robert Stephenson as a black magician on page 212...and the then-unknown fact that RDS is now known to have died in 1916 ) was the index ( its a darned good compendium of these bad men and women ) which had at least 25 cases of two-man ( and woman ! ) tandem killers. Many of whom performed equally heinous murders and some exceeding Jack The Ripper's deeds. By no means were every two man team mentioned in the book either...
Of course,everyone knows that there have been two man killing teams before...that ain't the point.
More and more,the possibility that in some capacity...a second person was involved with the actual killer strikes me as feasible.
What do you think the possibilities are,folks?
