I think I have found him.

Dear Purkis.

Thank you for clarifing that you don't think there is a link between Pierre and Grampton.
Considering that you said it was in anyone's interest to discuss the matter one assumes you are part of the group

Two points however:

1. someone obviously did that being Pinkmoon. Who would appear from the posts to be a senior member of the Grampton group.

2. I note it is no longer a theory but a solution! My my some people are very confident.
What do they have a signed confession?

Considering your previous post I do not expect any answer for some months.

I've learned that the Bronte family name was originally Brunty

Really? thats interesting. I live near Brunty country.

Its sad though that i trawled through hundreds of posts on this thread and this is the only interesting thing ive learnt but never mind.

I think what really annoys me is the attitude of self-importance. It's an old murder case, but some act like they are sitting on the cure for cancer.

Yes, I agree. However, you will find the same thing in any fandom or hobby. (Some of the "Star Wars" fans are dissecting a battery commercial for clues to the forthcoming movie, for instance!)

I enjoy reading about the research others have done, and trying to use clues for my own curious forays. I've learned that the Bronte family name was originally Brunty, until Patrick the senior changed the spelling. I found out about Dr. Crampton, and his descendant, the engineer and inventor. I've also learned that some Gramptons once ran a windmill that later became a poorhouse. None of it related to the idenity of Jack the Ripper, but interesting, all the same.

I don't believe Pierre's suspect has anything to do with the Grampton Solution, but I wish him lots of luck with his research.
Sincerely.
Lots of luck.

It will obviously change history. I think not!

Nope. Even the huge discovery of Richard III's body and the fact that his DNA doesn't match the royal line couldn't capture the general public's interest for much over a few days. The only people still talking are probably the Richard III Society and a handful of hobbyists.

It is pretty clear the the " Grampton " folk got the feeling that information had been leak to Pierre.
There can be only one explanation for this.
Whilst Pierre's list of reasons or hints was obscure to most of us.; it must have ticked many boxes with the "gramps". Indeed I would assume that they are looking at the same theory.

Indeed both Pierre and they have suggested that if announced now evidence could dissappear

So Pierre who is going to steal whose thunder?

I can think of no other reason why they would break their "non disclosure order".
To use such a term which has its roots in the law, in a situation like this is laughable.

This is a dead century old case which as Brenda says is of interest to very few. I do admit that the few are very passionate about it!

It would seem from the limited leaks that we are looking at some type of conspiracy.
One of the group has suggested in the recent past a poltical motive which would I guess tie in.

Indeed both Pierre and they have suggested that if announced now, evidence could dissappear .

It's so obvious that this to quote another " it's just too big"
It will obviously change history. I think not!

I agree. He is just a serial killer. Who cares really.

And when I´m finished with this, perhaps all we will have is...silence.

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Do you believe Alice McKenzie was a victim of "your" suspect?

[Pierre]

Thanks Rocky. I don't mean to sound like I am throwing shade at Ripper research, at all. I have very much enjoyed the adventures of the researchers through the years, as my life right now doesn't allow much time for that sort of thing, but I do love research.

I think what really annoys me is the attitude of self-importance. It's an old murder case, but some act like they are sitting on the cure for cancer.

Well put brenda. Even if the theory has dna proof every average person will say "yea i remember this from last year"

Jack The Ripper is a long ago unsolved case with an extremely limited audience that really gives a hoot. There's been so many people peddling solutions in the past ten years that Ripperology has become a farce to the casual observer.

But we don't want to steal anyone's "thunder" and we don't want to ruin anyone's chance of getting super mega-rich off the Ripper case. Because that's working out so well for everyone else selling a solution. At this point there's been so many who have "solved" the case that even if someone really does solve it, it's likely to get them no more than a few exclamations of "good job!" and a couple of interviews.

I'm not really sure where I'm heading with this. Just venting, I guess. Don't mind me.....

[MysterySinger]

Not sure I like the sound of it. Ignorance is bliss.

[Abby Normal]

Hopefully someone breaks it wide open before the Secret Bretheren of the Gramptonites decide to enlighten us!

I don't know if I can wait that long!

[Elamarna]

Hi Rocky

I must be stupid because I don't know what you "pc☺" means.

Robert,

I know I only registered in last year or so and not posted much . However I have been visiting this forum since before the big crash. And I have to agree with you comment.
It appears that finding the truth no longer is the primary aim.

Regards

Hi Phil,

Now I'm curious about how your quoting mechanism in your PC managed to attribute a comment from Pinkmoon to me. That is curious.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Yeah..me too!!..sorry about that. Lol
