  • Charles Allen Lechmere (5 October 1849 – 23 December 1920), also known as Charles Cross, was a carman (cart driver) from the east side of London who apparently worked for the Pickfords company for more than 20 years. He is suspected by some as having been the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper. 'Charles Cross' was long regarded as merely the innocent witness who discovered the body of Mary Ann Nichols, the first of the Ripper's five canonical victims, while on his way to work. The suggestion that he might actually be the Whitechapel Murderer was first raised by Derek Osborne in 2000 in an issue of the magazine Ripperana. The following year saw the possibility further explored in an article by John Carey, while Osborne went on to examine a set of remarkable coincidences which suggested that 'Cross' was in fact a man legally known as Lechmere. The carman's possible guilt was further discussed by John Carey in 2002; by Osborne in 2007, and by Michael Connor in four issues of The Ripperologist between 2006 and 2008. Mainstream awareness of Lechmere grew in 2014 when journalist Christer Holmgren and criminologist Gareth Norris explored the case against him in the 2014 Channel Five documentary Jack the Ripper: The Missing Evidence. In 2021, Holmgren produced a book in which Lechmere is linked not only to the Whitechapel Murders, but also to the longer series of killings known as the Thames Torso Murders. (en)
