I have fully researched the Jack the Ripper case and although I am not at all qualified in forensic science, I found it quite evident that Elizabeth Stride was most certainly not a Ripper victim. The murder weapon which was used on Catherine Eddowes on the exact same night was completely different. According to the mortician's report rather than being long and straight it was short and rounded. It is equally unlikely that the murderer could have made it between the two sites in question in the short interval of time suggested. The question is why did they not determine this at the time?

greetings:
different knife from the first two, and the fourth. there wasn't the control of the victim as in the other four. there wasn't the ripping although possibly interupted. is it possible two murderers in the same area, of course. but there needs to be more than these facts to exclude stride. I do wonder though.
