    Another suspect I've not heard of... it seems like they keep popping up even after 120 years. Does anyone have any more info on this guy?
    Cheers,

    Certainly worth giving his book a read. We can't rule anyone out, can we?

      Silver is the suspect in the book THE FOX AND THE FILES, which has generally been pretty well received.

        I have just started reading The Fox and the Flies so will be interested to see the conclusion. Silver was a jewish pyscopath, pimp, violent criminal who ran a pre mafia type empire. He had dealings in Eastern Europe, London and New York.

          ... that'd be Charles van Onselen's "The Fox and the Flies".

          The "Fox and the Files" - to which GH refers - is (of course) Beatrix Potter's tale of the jail-breaking adventures of Mr Tod.

            Ha! Comedy typo.

            Yes, JTR was an employee of the National Archives. That's why so much has gone missing.

              Philip,

              Silver is the suspect in the book THE FOX AND THE FILES, which has generally been pretty well received.

              On the whole the book has received good reviews, but the section about JtR has been considered totally unconvincing to the point of foolishness in most quarters. The Times of London review was particularly dismissive in this regard as I recall.
