Title: Trevor is Jack The Ripper! Post by: Trevor on September 08, 2014, 01:44:54 AM No, not quite. :teddyr: :teddyr:
DNA tests have shown that the Ripper was one Aaron Kosminski, a Polish immigrant in England. I remember seeing the documentary The Secret Identity of Jack The Ripper in 1988 which also proposed him as the killer. www.news24.com/World/News/Jack-the-Ripper-finally-identified-20140908 (http://www.news24.com/World/News/Jack-the-Ripper-finally-identified-20140908) I have always thought the Ripper was a member of royalty or someone high up in the government. Title: Re: Trevor is Jack The Ripper! Post by: claws on September 08, 2014, 05:22:16 AM I dunno. It seems more like a way to promote the new book this is based on than truly convincing evidence. Someone a decade ago claimed to have DNA evidence for Jack the Ripper's identity, finding a completely different person than this result.

I LOVE your artwork! Title: Re: Trevor is Jack The Ripper! Post by: Jack on September 08, 2014, 06:14:50 AM Yeah whenever something's being used to promote a book I always have to wonder how much is science and how much is marketing. The origins of the shawl will need to be thoroughly scrutinized and the DNA evidence verified. A very interesting theory if proven true though.
Title: Re: Trevor is Jack The Ripper! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on September 08, 2014, 04:18:41 PM The Walter Sickert Book was utter foolishness. It was all circumstantial.
I agree, the Albert Edward theory was my favorite. But knowing about realty its probably some random nut, like this Polish cat. -Ed Title: Re: Trevor is Jack The Ripper! Post by: Javakoala on September 08, 2014, 07:04:54 PM I always assumed it was Dr. Giggles. Oh well.
Title: Re: Trevor is Jack The Ripper! Post by: Silverlady on September 08, 2014, 08:04:03 PM Hmmn ... maybe Jack The Ripper was a woman? Title: Re: Trevor is Jack The Ripper! Post by: Javakoala on September 08, 2014, 09:33:51 PM Could be. Women weren't normally allowed into the world of medical knowledge, but given the fact the victims were mostly hookers, if could be that a knowledgeable woman could have waged a war against sin. Given the body parts removed, is it possible the killer was righting some transgressions?

Quote He says the infamous killer is Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish émigré from Poland, who worked as a barber. There we go blaming the Jews again. I wonder how long before it comes out that this guy is a member of the new Nazi party or some similiar group. Title: Re: Trevor is Jack The Ripper!
