Other suspects include the following: German hairdresser Charles Ludwig, apothecary and mental patient Oswald Puckridge (1838–1900), insane medical student John Sanders (1862–1901), Swedish tramp Nikaner Benelius, and even social reformer Thomas Barnardo, who claimed he had met one of the victims (Elizabeth Stride) shortly before her murder. Isenschmid and Ludwig were exonerated after another murder was committed while they were in custody. There was no evidence against Barnardo, Benelius, Puckridge or Sanders. According to Donald McCormick, other suspects included Mountebank L. Forbes Winslow, whose own suspect in the case was a religious maniac, G. Wentworth Bell Smith. The theories continue, such as the 2009 addition of morgue assistant Robert Mann to the long list of suspects.

A NEW SUSPECT
Edward Buck was an Irish Immigrant who committed minor crimes throughout Whitechapel. He and his family were familiar with the commercial road area. Two fellow researchers/ historians have come up with this suspect. The leading researcher started looking in records before 1888 and came up with this name. He states that only one other researcher had suggested this same person. Edward was violent to the woman he loved, who was a prostitute.

Whitechapel
Whitechapel is an area in London, England, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is in East London and part of the East End. Tower Hamlets Town Hall and the borough town center are located there. Whitechapel is located 3.4 miles (5.5 km) east of Charing Cross.
The district is primarily built around Whitechapel High Street and Whitechapel Road, which extend from the City of London boundary to just east of Whitechapel station. These two streets together form a section of the originally Roman Road from the Aldgate to Colchester, a route that would become known as the Great Essex Road. Population growth resulting from ribbon development along this route led to the creation of the parish of Whitechapel, a daughter parish of Stepney, from which it was separated in the 14th century.
