A problem with the "Eddowes Shawl" DNA match

[pinkmoon]

That stinks.

I'd take a screen shot of all the posts he has made on FaceBook about how many he has sold, and see a good lawyer, could be a good little money maker.

Watch this space gut I've got something on the go.

I have recently, after looking again at RE's book, come to the conclusion that his chapter on Kozminski seems to be largely plagiarized from my own book. I have not done a direct line-by-line comparison, but it seems to be largely copied, with some minor changes here and there. Pretty disgusting all in all.

That really sucks Rob. having purchased and read your excellent book I can only say that its really too bad that this field is seemingly beset with parasites and losers that are only out for a buck, the truth be damned.

Their true colors usually come out in the end, but unfortunately not before they muddy the waters for the uninformed and general public.

I so hope the police get involved in this and make some arrests and then hopefully we can go back to discussing some sane and sensible theories.

"Until the work led by Dr Jari Louhelainen from 2011, the shawl had never been examined for DNA or subjected to chemical testing for proof of age and geographical provenance."

and yet:

"In 2006 the shawl was subject to inconclusive forensic testing for a programme on Channel 5"

Truth the 1st victim.

I think the 2006 one was when they were after Deeming.

"The circle is now complete. One of the greatest unsolved crime mysteries of all time has been solved through cutting edge science, historical research and a great deal of determination and good fortune. Aaron Kosminski – Jack the Ripper – has been placed, once and for all, at the scene of Catherine Eddowes’s horrific murder."


Are they allowed to assert such conclusive proof in the face of overwhelming evidence that the tests undertaken were fatally flawed? Surely that's misrepresentation? Edward's result has not been subject to any peer review or independent 3rd party testing so it's simply the word of a 'businessman' who's decided he's right and says the case is proved. That's not the way it works.

Still I suppose it's cavat emptor at the end of the day.

This things stinks like a 127 year old, cut-up, unwashed shawl !

(I reckon Edwards could work miracles on the Turin Shroud)

[GUT]

Maybe "guaranteed to be cloth".

Or maybe "Guaranteed o be the bit I wrote a book about".

The provenance is an interesting read

"According to the vendor's family history ..."

Well that proves a lot

A pity really isn't it.

We need to crowdfund and buy this shawl to get it tested properly.
