Hi - I'm the author of a new series of books called Cold Case Jury. The premise of each is that I examine a historic cold case and, as a reader and Cold Case Juror, you can enter your decision on what you think happened at the Cold Case Jury website. You can find more details at my website, if you are interested.
The first case is Poisoning at the Priory, which examines the different theories about how Charles Bravo died. The second, which I'm finishing now, called Death of an Actress, examines the porthole murder case from 1947. For a future book, I would like to tackle the ripper (despite all its attendant difficulties). To help research the topic intelligently, I would love to gauge the views of casebookers. I have two questions:
1) If you had to bet your house on correctly identifying the ripper, on which one suspect would you bet and why?
2) If you had to make money on correctly identifying the ripper, on which long-shot suspect would bet and why? One name only. By long-shot I do not mean a ridiculous choice but a suspect who would, in your view, not typically make the Top 3 Suspects List of most ripperologists.
That's it! If you do post a reply, let me say thank you in advance. I will read every post.

I really meant 'loser' in the sense of the sort of character who can't make his mark on the world other than in murdering and mutilating innocent women. I think in fact, that Jack was probably gainfully employed for most of the time, perhaps in the horse slaughtering or butchering trades, and so could probably afford a second hand astrakhan coat and gold watch.
