Silk and Mothers
"Edwards has long theorized that the shawl was of too fine a quality to have been worn by a London prostitute and belonged to Jack the Ripper, not Eddowes. Using nuclear magnetic resonance, another Liverpool John Moores University scientist, Dr. Fyaz Ismail, determined that the fabric’s age predated the 1888 murders and was likely made near St. Petersburg, Russia. The region of Poland where Kosminski was born was under Russian control, and it would not have been unusual for Russian goods to have been traded there."
Ok I'm going to take a leap of faith here but a strange coincidence has just struck me. I've been researching another serial killer lately who had a fetich for handkerchiefs. Harrold Jones had a mouth fetish and kept ladies handkerchiefs in his pocket. Presumably the fetish was connected to his mother who he adored. He murdered two young girls when he was 15 but was released from Jail in 1942. It has been suggested he later became the Hammersmith Nude murder collecting the victims teeth as a extension of that fetish…
A strip of Silk clothe strikes me as a somewhat strange article for a killer to carry but consider this… Both the victims of the Hammersmith Nude murders and those of Jack the ripper were strangled leaving few bruises or marks on the victims. Jack the Stripper probably used the victims silk stockings as a garrotte…
Schwartz described Strides murder to Swanson as follows: 'He pulled her onto the street and throw her to the ground"
Could this be a description of someone being garrotted from behind?
Could the Shawl actually be the murder weapon? Would a strip of material from his homeland have a specific connect in Aaron's mind to his Mother?
