Could JtR have been blind? You know the old adage, "If you could hear what I see."

Seriously.

Not even with a very cunning dog aside

OK, then : who's going to mention Kosminski's "many years indulgence in solitary vices"?

Would anyone have suspected a blind man or someone who pretended to be blind? Could it have been used as a ruse?

Come on, could a blind guy succesfully kill anyone?
They'd have to have their back turned for ages, and he'd have to know exactly where her neck was to get his knife in.
It would also be hard for him cover his trails, not knowing the extent to which he was covered in blood when leaving the scene of the crime.
Anyway why would a prostitute go with a blind guy, couldn't she just mug him?
You might as well suggest that Jack the Ripper was wheel chair bound or a leper or a dog.

Regards Wintergreen.

PS. Very funny Robert, I just got that.

The joke that is, not the masturbation induced blindess.
