I know that a SUPPOSSED Jack The Ripper diary was unearthed a few years ago and I was wondering.....what did he do/where was he on the 3 October 1887 cos my nana had her bottom pinched whilst standing on a street corner in Durham, did he travel much?
shareWell, considering the diary was supposedly written by a guy called Maybrick who lived in Liverpool, yes he travelled a fair ammount. I dont see why he wouldnt make the trip to Durham to pinch a few bottoms, just to break up the monotony of being a serial killing cotton merchant!

There was actually a suspect in the Ripper case brought in for questioning for stabbing women in the bottom.
It's mentioned in "The Complete History of Jack the Ripper" by Phillip Sugden.
yeah, but it was also pretty well proven that he wasn't the killer.
as for Maybrick, I think it's pretty clear that that whole thing was a hoax. he lived well away from the sites and there's no proof to suggest that the killer didn't live right in Whitechapel. even the book that the "diary" was written in was probably bought from a used bookstore in the mid-late 1900s and used. the Maybrick murder was well documented so he made a good villain for someone to use. seems to me to have been too "sane". I don't think the real killer would've been writing the names of the victims in his watch or writing "I am Jack". that's silly. I doubt the killer even referred to himself as "Jack the Ripper".
