Hi.
I must disagree, if it could be proven that Sickert wrote at least one of the letters, it would point to guilt.
Would people be so keen to dismiss , if it could be proven that Druitt, Kosminski,Kelly, Prince Albert Victor, wrote one?
Regards Richard.

This book belongs in the fiction section like the rest of Cornwell's stories.

There were literally 1000s of letters, clearly not all from one person, if Jack sent any (and I don't rule out that possibility) which one(s).

Now if, like most, you doubt that the killer was the writer that doesn't take you very far.
Did JTR write letters? Why not-- other serial killers have, though they mostly came after him.

I have not read either book yet. Can anyone tell me why Cornwell's theory is so universally mocked by Ripperologists?

There was also a scientific test on one of the letters, in which I believe saliva from a stamp was linked to Sickert. However, this was on the basis of mitochondrial DNA, which several million Britains at the time would have shared, so therefore not even as strong as Russell Edwards' DNA evidence.

It's amazing how many times the Daily Mail has discovered who Jtr was in recent years.

Patricia Cornwell - Walter Sickert - BOOK 2
"Her original accusations in her 2002 book, Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed, outraged art historians and were dismissed by Ripperologists as 'improbable'.
But now, in a new book to be released next week, Cornwell claims the proof of Sickert's guilt lies in the paper he used."
