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.

I have always thought the Ripper was a member of royalty or someone high up in the government.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

Trevor is a woman . . .?! In the guise of a woman disguised as a man . . .?! Well, has anybody ever seen our Trevor and Joan Collins in the same room together? I don't think so.
