What did Scotland Yard do with the piece of apron from C.Eddowes?

[DVV]

Well, at least Anderson was lucky enough to blow his nose before Trevor Marriott used it as a sanitary towel.

[Sister Hyde]

...for he had caught a cold of the most virulent type.

i wish i could have seen his face when realizing he had nis nose covered in Eddowes' blood. ok forget about a dna test on the arpon!!!

I think Anderson has used the piece of apron to blow his nose.

[Sister Hyde]

Sister Hyde:

Yep, difficult to track descendants down first of all and then possibly equally as difficult to convince them to submit to such tests.

Yes, but i think if we would have had blood evidence it would have been much easier to convince them now, then it would have been to convince the previous generation, perspective and time, always help people feeling indifferent about these stories

You believe all you see in a documentary Adam?

Go read through the inquest report, there you will find the answer.

Then again, you believe your team is better dispite the hammering they had off mine over the winter. It must be a dillusional thing, and is why you make so many errors.

It explains a lot.

PS Its not snarky, its merely the natural order of superiority I hold over you. Its the order of life, I am your better. Deal with it.

Monty:

"Allegedly" according to the documentary. There's no need to get snarky just coz my cricket team is better than yours.

Cheers,
Adam.

[Sister Hyde]

well yes, no doubt that it's not hers, it would be surprinsing that the police would have kept a piece of clothes they couldn't have used in anyway (they couldn't think "let's keep it for when they can run better analyses in a century or so")

[Monty]

Ive no idea Sister, however.....

Monty

[Sister Hyde]

so.. was it really a table cloth Monty? or was it just a fit of corrosive humor?

[Monty]

Monty:

Fair enough then, "allegedly" the shawl of Eddowes.

About the best one could hope for if the apron still existed would be to find traces of the killers blood as well as the victims, if he nicked himself, as Sister Hyde suggests - then it might be possible to find out blood types, etc, but that's about the limit of it.

Cheers,
Adam.

Theres no allegedly about it.

Its not Eddowes shawl.

Yes and since some suspects havn't left a big family behind, it might be tricky to find descendants now to try a comparaison.

It would be good if the apron had been preserved, but realistically one can't expect the police to have kept a messy, smelly thing like this in 1888.

[Sister Hyde]

i have to agree with Adam on this one, if you have no fingerprints to compare your samples, then it's no use, the blood could have been interesting to analyze though, the blood would be Eddowes, but another blood could have been on it too.
