Who do you think was JtR's last murder poll

[Stan Reid]

The named (first nine) are listed in order of occurrence. So who do you think?

[Stan Reid]

Regarding the final option, that could be another victim affiliated with the case like Frances Hancock (November 1888) or John Gill (December 1888) as well as suspect connected victims like Phoebe Hogg (October 1890) and Emily Dimmock (September 1907). It could also be a named victim as yet unconnected to the case or someone completely unknown to us at present.

I guess if you think Druitt was the Ripper then the last victim would have been himself.

[Stan Reid]

Ah, a four way tie for first place.

[Chris G.]

If Alice MacKenzie was a Ripper victim he was slumming by then, not up to his old form. I don't believe she was one of his victims.

I understand your point Chris but I think McKenzie is more like Nichols than Tabram, the other "Bracket Murder", is and she's one many want to add to the tally. The main argument against her would likely be the de-escalation but that is explained by the possible interruption of the process as with Stride. Actually, I'm pretty evenly torn between Eddowes, Kelly and McKenzie.

[Stan Reid]

I can't see anyone being 100% sure no matter what their choice.

[Stan Reid]

It doesn't look like Glenn has voted.

I think it was MJK...you couldnt 'kill someone anymore that that' and so couldnt kill again after; I think if they werent caught, or went mad, or killed themselves, they left London sharply after killing MJK...I just dont think those other women were the victims of JTR cause he would have left town.

I dunno about that Currer, look at Danny Wotsisface - the Gainsfield ripper, he kept coming back for more.

[Currerbell]

Never heard of him...did he do it in the same place though or move around the country?? What year was this?

[Stan Reid]

Would that be Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper?

WHAT?! No Johnnie Gill?

Hi Tim,

I did mention him here - just ran out of room.

WHAT?! No Johnnie Gill?

The more I read about the Gill case the more I think he is a serious candidate for admission to the Canon.

That chapter in The Strange World of the Brontes makes interesting reading. (Campell fingers Maybrick as the culprit BTW, for added bonus points.)
