Thank you Jaden, for not ripping me a new one. I feel mean now, but I couldn't resist. You are very kind, and on the unknowability (or unprovability, at any rate) of the Ripper, I'm inclined to agree with you.
Sincerely
HF
You're welcome, just 'cause today I'm feeling nice. I've read some comments by people all over the world saying the Jack The Ripper case is closed, cleary everyone besides us all, are convinced that it's been solved.
You know, I've been sitting here imagining a scenario.
Some dude I do not know researches my family history, tracks me down and either telephones me or knocks on my door and says something like:
"I reckon your ancestor was Jack the Ripper. How do you feel about giving me a DNA sample so that I can prove it. I'll then write a book and make loads of money telling the world that you are related to Jack the Ripper".
It was once suggested that I might be related to Cilla Black - and that was hard enough to swallow.
I don't think it will be 5 years though, I understand that the next "solved" points the finger at Maybrick's brother. And more to come naming Bury.
I agree with what you're saying Gut although I wouldn't lump Bury who I regard as a serious suspect with any suspect to do with the diary or that bloody shawl.

That'd be the worst case scenario, my friend.
If that'd happen to me I'd be like "cool story bro, changed my life"
I don't even wanna know who I'm related to.
I feel sorry for the people that are actually related to JTR, whoever he might be.
