Why can't I stop myself from reading the posts in this thread in a kind of a scally, kind of scouser accent? Eh? Eh? It's a mystery.

Has anyone ever investigated the possibility that Russell is related to Derek Acorah, The Scouse With The Aura?

[Stephen Lee]

I've no idea why this has popped up again. I read his book years ago and I don't think anything new has been discovered since. On my YouTube feed an interview with Edwards was posted only a few days ago where he was being interviewed on some Australian news programme about the shawl.
He must be trying to grab more money and attention I'd guess.

It's likely the money, which is a shame.

I came to Casebook diring the first flurry of attention about the "shawl", but had been interested in Jack the Ripper for many years. I've heard about the Royal Conspiracy, read the Maybrick "diary", raised my eyebrows at the black magic stuff-- so many theories that have come and gone. Such a disservice to the poor women he slaughtered.

It is in poor taste PcDunn. My view is it's better to look at violent murderers such as Bury and Kelly who might have actually been Jack rather than whatever suspect is flavour of the month. Or some theory that's been dreamt up just to make some money.
