Of the three suspects mentioned in Sir Melville MacNaughten memorandum, Aaron Kosminski fits what criminologist now at days call a geographical profile. Three separate news article quoted Canadian Criminologist Dr. Kim Rossmo, who started his career as a Police Officer in Vancouver and is now based at the criminal justice department at Texas State University, as identifying Flower and Dean Street as the epicenter of Jack the Ripper plausible residency.

Once there, the family, possibly lived temporarily at a residence in Whitechapel, before settling at Sion Square and Greenfield Street. It is likely that Aaron lived at either 3 Sion Square or at 16 Greenfield Street, with one of his sisters and her family. Actually, it is quite possible that he was living at both of these addresses at different times. For example, in July 1890 Aaron is admitted to Mile End Old Town Workhouse from 3 Sion Square, which is presumably his residence at the time. In February 1891, he is admitted "from" 16 Greenfield Street. In all likelihood, his sisters felt a responsibility to take care of Aaron, and he may have been difficult to live with. It is possible that they shared in the responsibility of taking care of him. It may, incidentally, be fair to guess that Aaron lived at the 3 Sion Square address in autumn of 1888, as this was his residence when he was admitted to Mile End Old Town Workhouse less than a year after the series of murders ended.
