What is HOLMES 2 ? Basically it is a Platform for Big Data Analytics. It is based on Palantir Technologies and likely other apps integrated for, in this case, criminal analysis. Scotland Yard, FBI..most Agencies have similar Platforms today.
I didn't know anything about the movie..Jack the Ripper..Case Reopened with Emilia Fox and David Wilson, who in my mind, were more Moderators than Experts. I just watched it. I did search Emilia Fox and saw, and read, the Pub Talk on Wilson. I cant comment on Wison or Fox, I really don't know of them but I did research Scotland Yards HOLMES and HOLMES2. I recognized Palantir immediately from my previous life before retiree. I could find nothing in the search on HOLMES.
What struck me is that Scotland Yard had an overall " Objective " analysis using HOLMES and this was very different from the " subjective" analysis and rankings ive seen attempted on Casebook. My apologies if an Objective Analysis exists on the site outside of what Scotland Yard did.
To clarify, the input data was Objective data based on sworn testimony, records, photographs and any evidence Scotland Yard determined to be authentic. So an example might be that the sworn testimony of eyewitnesses would be considered factual. Unfortunately its not clear how far Scotland Yard has gone with the analysis. They did share some things.
There were some findings by Experts in fields like Geospatial modeling , forensics and psychological profiling that were applied. Here are 5 that I found interesting:
1. Martha Tabrum was the first victim. Determined by overkill and method.
2. JtR was a Marauder not a Commuter- meaning he lived in the area.
3. The next 4 victims Nichols, Chapman, Stride and Eddowes were virtually of equal distance from Tabrum in the East, North, South and West Geospace.
4. Mary Kelly was the only victim murdered inside and only victim to be skinned.
5. All 6 victims were murdered in a confined space.
So the Rippers boundaries in each direction are his comfort zone. Scotland Yard drew horizontal lines through Chapman and Stride and Vertical lines through Eddowes and Nichols. This was the overall zone of where JtR felt comfortable traveling.
The other finding in the HOLMES analysis was a heat map that showed higher probabilities of comfort zone. The highest marked by proximity of Tabrum to Chapman, Eddowes and Kelly. This was also close to Butchers Row and basically in the Jewish Quarter.
The Scotland Yard conclusion, so far, is that the killer lived near where Martha Tabrum was murdered and this was the killers first victim. They select Aaron Kosminski as the likely killer because of his profile and where he lived. However it's not clear if Kosminski lived on Greenfield St or Providence Ct.
In truth, the other candidate that fits the Scotland Yard analysis using Objective data, is of course Jacob Levy. Both he and Kosminski lived near George Yard. Jacob Levys wife actually lived right there on Bull CT. Levy also lived on Fieldgate Street near Greenfield.
I can't imagine that Scotland Yard would not use every bit of factual data it could get it's hands on. I know they have the best modern tools for analysis and would consider that an advantage.
If JtR wasn't Kosminski or Levy then it was likely someone unknown, perhaps a yet to be identified slaughterman on Butchers Row that lived with his brother. Kosminski lived with his brother and Levy was a butcher. Both insane.
HOLMES2? what next? A.I. ?
