Most important data: a wish list

[GUT]

Indeed. I'm understandably curious at what specifics will be presented as evidence once Pierre has uncovered that final nail in the proverbial coffin, and what has been excluded from his investigation due to his own views on what constitues as proof.

I just think it's important for the OP to state their own views before seeking those of others, and - for my own curiosity - which of the list presented does the last piece of evidence fall into.

Yours,

Agree, I get the sneaking suspicion that he is simply shopping for information so he can make up his theory.

Outside of what was listed the murder weapon(s) would be nice.

I suspect whatever one(s) he (thinks) he can tie to his suspect of choice.

Pierre,

Which category does your remaining, case-clinching, data fall in to?

I'd also be interested in your opinion(s) of your list. What elements would you consider as proof?

Hi,

Doing my own research and looking at different theories others have come up with I come to think of the different types of data we prefer to use.

I guess we all have our own ideas as to what types of data should be considered as really important.

So what types of data do you think would be the most important if you would try to find the killer? And what would qualify as proof?

Here are some suggestions listed in no special order and you can probably add more to it:

1. Personal motive for murdering the victims
2. DNA
3. His profession
4. A confession
5. Items found at the murder sites
6. Handwriting match with a letter
7. His adress
8. Personal motive for mutilating victims
9. A letter containing knowledge only the murderer could have had
10. Several letters containing knowledge only the murderer could have had
11. Statements from witnesses
12. A combination of some of the above
13. A combination of all of the above


Another question concerns the amount of data we have. Is it "the more the better" or "just a few but very significant". What do you think?

Regards Pierre

1. Personal motive for murdering the victims

Certainly not anywhere near enough 125+ years down the track, also not sure how you'd establish it.

2. DNA

From where matching what?

3. His profession

Nope

4. A confession

Depends on the provenance of sad confession, they had confessions at the time.

5. Items found at the murder sites

Liking them to a suspect, how?

6. Handwriting match with a letter

Since hardly anyone accepts that he wrote any particular letter, nope.

7. His adress

How does that help?


8. Personal motive for mutilating victims

Maybe


9. A letter containing knowledge only the murderer could have had

And 127 years down the track how do we prove that the information is correct?

10. Several letters containing knowledge only the murderer could have had

See above re one letter

11. Statements from witnesses

We have some, not sure where you'll get more now.

12. A combination of some of the above
13. A combination of all of the above

Perhaps but they need to answer each individual question before they're worth diddly squat.
