A reason not to release documents..

[andy1867]

Is it fair to say there are still documents regarding the Ripper case that have not been released..and If so..
could it because The Authorities don't want queues of ripperologists outside folks houses requesting an DNA sample..and asking if they would mind awfully if great Uncle George could be exhumed?

[John Wheat]

Probably.

They don't want it to be solved. 'Tis big bucks this Ripper business.

Preaching to the converted there Harry.....
Although I would advise they did the one I do....

The release of documents has nothing to do with DNA though. I don't see the link.

There could still be paperwork in some forgotten private collection, or in the National Archives in another mislabeled shoebox, but as for being intentionally withheld, nah!
