Tis a Mystery

12-18-2010, 02:04 AM

I was reading on Wikipedia and ran across this entry for Dr. John Bell, Arthur Conan Doyle's inspiration for Sherlock Holmes:

Bell was involved in the 'Jack the Ripper' investigation and, though it was never disclosed, 7 days after Bell submitted the name of his suspect, the killings stopped.

Does anyone know the name of Dr. Bell's Suspect?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Bkohatl,

I can't say I know who the suspect really was, but here's a link to an old discussion of the topic on CBook in case you haven't seen it yet. Sorry if you have. Just trying to be helpful.

Joseph Bell & the Whitechapel Murders (recovered) - Casebook: Jack the Ripper Forums

http://forum.casebook.org/archive/index.php/t-114.html

General discussion about anything Ripper related that does not fall into a specific sub-category. On topic-Ripper related posts only.

Now, you have me curious!

"What our ancestors would really be thinking, if they were alive today, is: "Why is it so dark in here?"" From Pyramids by Sir Terry Pratchett, a British National Treasure.
