New piece of evidence found

[The Good Michael]

You may suggest that the V's...on the eyelids AND cheeks were coleateral damage from the almost complete severing of Kates nose...but that doesnt answer why her nose was being cut in the first place. Answer that without some symbolic inference, then the collateral theory might have some legs.

We can't even call these cuts "Vs" without knowing intent, so I don't even want to go there. Yet, why does this have to symbolize something? I mean, cutting the nose. Why can't it just be a new thing to cut at, a new experience?

Well....I had hoped that I'd solved one of the major problems of the case. However, the more I thought the matter over, the more convinced I became that

1. It wasn't a major problem, but a minor problem.
2. I hadn't in fact solved it.
3. It was to do with another case entirely.

Rest assured that if there is anything else that I discover that I haven't discovered, I will go public immediately.

LOL - I like you!

Facts? What are these "facts" of which you speak? We don't deal in facts around here. We prefer guessing games.

The "Facts" are the things you doubters doubt, but upon which the great and mighty Pierre has solved this 125+ year old mystery.

say he needs to be deified.

[Elamarna]

Are you sure it is not only factual but metaphorical too.

you will need to explain it to us I think

I do have some data, but it is of a factual nature, and it will take several years' labour to raise it to the level of social construct.

As long as no one destroys it to protect the conspiracy, and as long as I'm alive a year from now.

By the way would reading the Hardy Boys series help me solve a 100-year old murder case?

Only if no one destroyed the data therein.

But do you have all your data or will that take another year???

Hi all

I just thought I'd let you know that I have made no breakthroughs whatsoever.

This is an obvious double bluff. Please tell us what you know.

Anything is possible...

Could these represent letters? A clue to the killers identity? Symbols?

Anything is possible, SuspectZero. One person who believes Jack was a tailor thinks the "v"s represent chalk markings, like those on a man's suit under construction.

But-- what is probable is something else. Jack didn't seem to leave any other marks like this on his other victims, so it is not that likely that they represent his initials, or anything like that.

[Michael W Richards]

Its is a fact at that time in history that some criminal groups cut words or symbols into the faces of snitches, before or after killing them.

You may suggest that the V's...on the eyelids AND cheeks were coleateral damage from the almost complete severing of Kates nose...but that doesnt answer why her nose was being cut in the first place. Answer that without some symbolic inference, then the collateral theory might have some legs.

Perhaps it didnt belong somewhere, or someone wanted to spite her face.

I bet we're back in Royal conspiracy theory territory with a touch of religious conflict (Catholics versus Protestants) thrown in. Those two V shaped cuts are V for Victoria!

No, we are not.

oh God, were not back on the Vincent Van Gogh thing again are we?

Hi,

I have no idea of what you mean but I can assure you it had nothing to do with Vincent Van Gogh.
