Hi Trishymouse,
Chris is right, and it was an old theory anyway... Search for Marriott in the box to the left and you'll see.

It may have been an old theory but no one bothered to explore it. Big difference between thinking about something and going out and doing it !!!!!!!! |

The Trial of Jack the Ripper: The Case of William Bury (1859-89)
# Paperback 192 pages (August 4, 2005)
# Publisher: Mainstream Publishing
Synopsis
Was Jack the Ripper put on trial for murder in Dundee in March, 1889? A shocking and brutal murder had taken place in the city on 5 February that year, and the words 'Jack Ripper is at the back of this door' were found written in chalk on a door at the scene of the crime. When he was arrested, the accused admitted that he was 'afraid he would be arrested as Jack the Ripper'. The police investigation uncovered some disturbing details. The accused was a small dark-haired man who was known to have been violent towards women. He had been born and brought up in the Midlands but had moved to the East End of London in the late autumn of 1887. On 21 January 1889, he and his wife travelled by boat to Dundee. This meant that he had arrived in London before the start of the Jack the Ripper murders and had left around the same time that they ceased. Could this be coincidence, people wondered? Could it also be a coincidence that the murder in Dundee carried all the hallmarks of a 'ripper' murder? In the month before the trial, the local newspapers in Dundee began to run sensational stories linking the accused with the notorious Whitechapel murders. When the trial opened to a packed courtroom, many in the public gallery were wondering if the man standing in the dock was none other than Jack the Ripper himself. In this sensational and groundbreaking book, Euan Macpherson presents the evidence that the long arm of the law really did catch up with Jack the Ripper... in a dingy basement flat in Dundee in the cold winter months of early 1889.

Hi Joanne,
Actually, they did explore the theory. The police searched boats on the docks looking for sailors who might have been the killer. They did go out and do it.
Hi Matfelon,
Yeah, that's also a new book, and an old theory. We have a thread on that one here too. Check out the search option and use the author name to bring it up.
