This seems a topic Sanctuary fans from all over the net will never agree on, because mixing Sanctuary cannon along with real life events is sometimes hard to understand - especially given the fact that even RL has holes in the Ripper case. Though starting from a discussion on
sanctuaryforall and
couplechemistry’s discussion
post (which she posted here also), I find myself wanting to clarify things from my own perspective. This post is written in respond to couplechemistry’s, so I’m using her questions to guide me through the whole thing.
