New theorist ... anyone know the details?

[CraigInTwinCities]

Hey all,


There's a new theorist on the scene. This guy:

http://www.thestar.co.uk/features/mystery-of-ripper-solved-by-city-cop-1-5987504

His name is Alan Hancock and he's a retired UK cop. Apparently he only gives up the suspect's name to those who attend his 2.5-hour talk, which I can't attend being in America.

Anyone know which suspect he's promoting? Anyone going to hear what he has to say?

Does anything really need to be said....

[Digalittledeeperwatson]

Hullo all.

Tickets £15

Does anything really need to be said....

If I recall correctly when I looked at it earlier, it is taking place at a children's hospital. So maybe it is a fund raising event or charity type thing? That's the way to get me to give me money. Also, me having some helps.

[Digalittledeeperwatson]

Duh.

Just reread. Yes. It says in aid of the hospital. So it's not purely money based. Well not yet anyways.

Hi,
Oh No..not another retired police officer on the case, I suppose being a cop, gives the impression, that they are all versed in detection..which we all know is a fallacy .
I was not aware that we were in procession, of the names of each and every person,interviewed by the police in 1889 onward's .
The mind boggles.
Regards Richard.

Yes Richard, we don't want anyone like Stewart Evans butting in with his crackpot ideas.

“I’m certain I’m right,” nods the 59-year-old who spent five years studying 60 books and reams of contemporary reports after retiring from the force.

I imagine more than one poster on this forum has spent much more time on research, in fact, I'll bet some of the "60 books" he studied have their authors here. Everyone is an expert when someone else does the research...

How right you are.
