In the first ezine issue of Ripperologist Magazine ( seems like 100 years ago now....Ripper time is so much slower than real time )...in 2005, issue 63....Stan Reid presented the case for Mrs. Hardiman's (29 Hanbury Street) son, William....as potentially being the Ripper.
From another thread :
STAN REID :
William Hardiman Suspect:
1-Lived at ground zero; the Chapman murder site
2-Being only 16, he would have appeared nonthreatening and could have more easily approached wary prostitutes
3-He was used to cutting up animals in the cat's meat shop where he worked
4-He could thus have easily explained blood on his person
5-Emma Smith said that one of her attackers was a teenager and this is where he could possibly have realized a lust for violence
ADAM WENT :
Just out of curiousity (not an argument, just curious), how would you reconcile the larger portion of witness descriptions of a man who was generally around the 30-ish bracket and possibly a 'foreigner' with that of William Hardiman?
