If they would find a kidney from the same packet and analysis shows that it belongs to a victim, then it is most likely that the Francis Tumblety was the murderer, as Littlechild revealed in his letter to Simms. I don't see enough evidence that would be sufficient to pinpoint other persons, not even Kosminski.

At the time of the Ripper murders he was posted to N Division (Islington). The Whitechapel murders were in H Division.

As a ripper enthusiast, I'd love the whole thing to be true and that we can finally say 'That's definitely him!', but there's too many question marks on the shawl for my liking. That said, I'm going to buy the book and no doubt I'll enjoy reading it.<br />In the wider scheme of things, I've never fancied Kosminski as Jack the Ripper. His movements weren't restricted until 1891 - I have serious doubts he went dormant for 2+ years after butchering 5 women within a 3 month period.<br />I think the search is still very much on!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469997327501320328.post-19907258278271904542014-09-08T01:49:46.355-04:002014-09-08T01:49:46.355-04:00My thoughts exactly, plus the fact that there is n...My thoughts exactly, plus the fact that there is no mention of testing any other suspect's descendants for comparison. So they decide to only test this one guy and just so luckily it's him?? Also noted is that this DNA has been exposed and degrading for over a century. Maybe I could go to a garage sale and have someone sell me the ax handle from the Lizzie Borden case. Maybe I can also find the hood from the Zodiac case at a yard sale, and all I need is a letter telling me it's real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469997327501320328.post-35046169102335633192014-09-07T23:46:14.350-04:002014-09-07T23:46:14.350-04:00THANK YOU. besides if the shawl was hers..... umm...THANK YOU. besides if the shawl was hers..... ummm she was a prostitute... therefore...... yeah he semen could have been on it for...well you know.......... he was a man........
