Kosminski and Victim DNA Match on Shawl

[lynn cates]

no shawl

Hello Julie.

"What I would like to know is, if a shawl was left and the scene of the crime, why did the killer bother cutting off a corner of Eddowes apron to use to wipe his hands and knife? Why not use the shawl?"

Good question. But there was NO shawl.

Cheers.

With respect to the prissy accusations of fraud on the part of the author or the scientist, you know what?
The ‘Ripper’ world isn’t and never will be a pure historical or criminological topic. (Although aspects of the case cannot be discussed in an academic manner).

I made the prissy accusation, only it wasn't one. It was a legal question on why something like this isn't fraud if it fits the legal description.

control

Hello Neil.

Bingo. Whatever happened to the scientific notion of a control?

Cheers.

Hello Barbara. Thanks.

"didn't mean Kosminski kept it as a trophy, but that the policeman picking it up at the scene, did."

But what was a Met copper doing in Mitre sq?

Cheers.

Could not a City policeman have acquired it, and it passed on to a Met policeman?

missing

Hello Michael.

"a scientist in the field would know about cross-contamination, about provenance, and about seeking corroboration."

Precisely. And ALL of this is missing.

Cheers.

Wasn't Kosminski Polish?

All of that is missing and a picture puzzle clue "look at the flowers on the shawl they talk about dates!" is there in their stead. That makes it even better right?


Right?


Hey don't look at me like that.

Id say that is highly unrealistic Observer. For what purpose?

result

Hello Paul G. That has me puzzled as well. Looks like he got the "result" he sought.

Hello Stewart. I'll attest to your work. Without "The Utlimate Companion" I would have none of my current theories.

So Mr Stewart is the one to blame.

Announcement regarding the 2015 Conference in Nottingham:

We spoke to Russell Edwards last week about appearing at next years conference in Nottingham, but he is currently unsure.

We all agree that it is an exciting development and if nothing else will get the case talked about and bring new people which we applaud.

However it will inevitably have critics and raise questions and we hope Mr Edwards will come along to answer them.

We also realise this is going to be exactly the kind of news people will want addressed at a conference.

Therefore we are announcing that our only as yet unfilled speaker slot is being allocated to discussion of the shawl. Russell Edwards has first refusal on this slot, and we will also be approaching Dr Louhelainen. If neither of them wants to take the opportunity to present their case, we will look elsewhere for people to talk about it.

Hi Mont

As the poster who made the point said, as a trophy.

bottom line

Hello GUT.

"No one doubts that they carried all that they owned with them, as Street people still do, however given the detailed list of her clothes and possessions, where is the piece of material?"

And THAT is the bottom line.

Cheers.

know

Hello Henry. Thanks.

"Perhaps someone who knows more about these procedural matters could let us know whether it was at all normal for officers to take a brief detour out of their own turf in the event of a major crime"

How would a beat copper know about a major crime on different turf? Perhaps hours later. But by then, the inventory was taken.

Cheers.

pattern

Hello Tom. Thanks. Yes, MUCH can be gathered from designs respecting dates. Recently, a bit of a Grecian amphora was found. Its pattern (which involved the meander) allowed it to be dated to the geometric era.

Quite simple.

Cheers.
