Naming Jack the Ripper: New Crime Scene Evidence, A Stunning Forensic Breakthrough, The Killer Revealed

Product Information

Between April, 1888 and February, 1891, eleven women were murdered in the East End of London, and their names were included in a police file that was officially titled, "The Whitechapel Murders." I did enjoy the trail and the way this was written. There is, however, a little bit too much of the author talking about the author, although this seems to have been done to explain his preoccupation with the whole Ripper saga. It can come across as egotistical, but I thought it provided a new avenue for the whole I've-brought-you-here-to-name-the-killer thingy.

Following the death of Abram, the family emigrated to the East End and it is certain that by the time of In fact, we know virtually nothing about her life prior to her arrival in the East End of London, and what we do know is based on what she chose to reveal about her past to those she knew, and the veracity of what she did reveal is difficult to ascertain. Indeed, we don't even know for certain that her name actually was Mary Kelly. Over the years, countless authors have delved into this enigmatic mystery, weaving tales that reconstruct the crimes, examine the suspects, and delve into the psyche of one of history’s most notorious murderers. The body was removed to the nearest mortuary - which still stands, albeit as a ruin, in the nearby churchyard of St George-in-the-East, and here she was identified as Elizabeth Stride. THE FUNERAL OF ELIZABETH STRIDE

At 2.30 on the morning of August 31st, a friend of hers by the name of Emily Holland met her by the shop at the junction of Osborn Street and Whitechapel Road. However, there are some big problems with this book. Those problems all stem from the fact that many key scientific protocols seem to have been non-existent in the handling of the scarf and the modern DNA samples used to establish the provenance of supposedly old 19th century DNA on it. In this respect I am reminded of what led scientists astray in the case of the Piltdown Man fraud. Outlandish as the theory may seem, the rumours gained enough traction for Mansfield to stage a performance of a comedy raising money for a prostitute’s refuge to reassure any doubters.

Moreover, we are not told whether or not it would have been possible at any time for the author to contaminate any of those slides, anyway, with modern Kosminski descendant DNA.

HER FAMILY VISIT THE MORTUARY My main criticism of the book was that it became a bit bogged down with going deep in to the authors life but I felt this was probably done on purpose to try and ease the readers mind of his credibility. The science is intriguing but crucuially, NOT peer reviewed, and while Edwards makes a decent case for Aarom Kosminski being the Ripper, his blinkered view and poorly argued points do him no favours. The remains of Catherine Eddowes, the victim of the Mitre-square tragedy, were interred on Monday afternoon at Ilford cemetery, a vast crowd following in procession.

Richard Mansfield At noon, the church bell began tolling, and, at 12.30 p.m., the coffin of polished elm and oak, on top of which were two crowns of artificial flowers and a floral cross, was carried out, borne on the shoulders of four men. The crowd, which by this time was several thousand strong, were greatly affected by the sight, and they surged forward to try and touch the coffin and to read its simple inscription "Marie Jeanette Kelly, died 9th Nov. 1888, aged 25 years."
