Mary Kelly's proximity to the: Mary Kelly's proximity to the prostitution circles that The Ripper targeted were enough to make her a target, and perhaps - as you posit - accidental bait for the demise of the mysterious serial killer. In considering your theory, which I'd have to agree is very plausible, I've been considering what the motives of a female Ripper might be. Perhaps one betrayed and scorned lover of a man whom had been with prostitutes behind her back? Perhaps a woman from a home broken in such a manner? Though I'd anticipate that a woman with children would have a difficult time, in that day, leaving into the night to go on a murderous rampage. Unless, perhaps, herself the grown daughter of a family in which she watched such unfold between her parents? Or perhaps religious or cultural zealotry gone too far? Well, it goes without much saying that going on a killing spree would be going much too far in any of these scenarioes. Any specific thoughts, yourself, on a character profile of your Ripper?   I remember reading, and separately seeing in a documentary, once upon a time a theory that the Ripper was from a prominent family, and thus why he (or, as you make a strong case for, she) was never identified. Perhaps that's part of the truth - and if Mary Kelly did survive and escape - might have further afforded her being left to start a new life, as reporting her alive would have led to the obvious question: whose body was dismembered?

Thank you.  : Thank you.  

Thank you for sharing further: Thank you for sharing further insight. I enjoyed reading it earlier, but in squeezing reading time between a very physically taxing day, haven't really mustered the energy for the type of response I'd like to give. Just getting done for the day (or perhaps I should say 'night') in the wee hours, but will revisit tomorrow. Thanks again, it's quite fascinating.   p/s No worries about the typo.
