Do anagrams in Lewis Carroll’s poems prove he was Jack the Ripper?, originally published March 7, 1997, re-published on-line on or about July 22, 2014:
Mr. Traugott asks:
Okay, I’ll bite. Who was supposedly Lewis Carroll’s “close associate”? Did the two of them allegedly take turns being Jack the Ripper, or was it fully a team effort? Or was one of them the successor to the other?
Thomas Vere Bayne.
From Wikipedia:
Everybody knows that Jack the Ripper was really Edward Devere, XVIIth Earl of Oxford.
So who was Thomas Vere Bayne? Was he some notable or otherwise well-known person? Another math lecturer at the college? A buddy of Dodgson? A fellow photographer hobbyist? I never heard of him.
ETA: Okay, I’ll go read the above-linked wiki now.
ETA-2: Oops, above link no good. Fixed.
Did anything happen to the candidates after November, 1888, when Mary Jane Kelly was the last victim?
Ouch, sorry 'bout that.
No morning coffee = mangled that link like Annie Chapman’s abdomen.
Do you mean these two “suspects,” or any of the suspects usually bandied about?
Montague John Druitt committed suicide in the winter of 1888.
Any of them. Whacking himself within a month of the last killing is good. 
Nobody has been ruled out, including you. Don’t whine about not being alive in 1888; there is such a thing as reincarnation, you know. Or you could have kept youthful by drinking the blood of women who aren’t remotely virgins.
The font of all grisly Ripper knowledge: www.casebook.org I enjoy their takedown of Patricia Cornwell because that phony has begun to believe her own press that claims she’s a real forensic person.
My favourite was Winston Churchill’s father. It’s a variation on the old ‘Royals and FreeMasons’ rubbish, and is supposedly the reason why Winston Churchill quit the Masons fairly early on.
Could you please link to that part of the website? I’d love to read it.
I had a professor in college who asserted that the character Peter Walsh in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway was Jack the Ripper. I forget who the character was based on in real life. I think it was Woolf’s first cousin James Kenneth Stephen.

FTR, Cornwell’s time in the Virginia ME’s office was spent as a technical writer and a computer analyst. She’s about as much a forensics expert as I am.

Obviously it was Keyser Söze.
That’s ridiculous, everyone knows they must be virgins for that to work.
It’s a little-known form of magick/magique/magigh that is based on the Law of Dissimilarity. It never really caught on, requiring as it does drinking the blood of worn-out old whores.
Dr. John Leslie Stevenson, I’d say: Time After Time (1979 film) - Wikipedia
Don’t forget Prince Albert Victor, the Duke of Clarence. (The oldest son of the future King Edward VII)
That movie any good?
In a very real sense, is not each and every one of us truly Jack the Ripper?
