Wow. So Jack the Ripper was Sweeney Todd.

Bingo!

Thanks for the education

I tried to find any kind of historical criticism of the book but can’t.

"pomme frites!"

The one quote I remember from the movie.

[linMcHlp]

I can see how that name, would throw people:

"linking the killer to Aaron KosminskiInstagram"

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

How do we know that all the victims attributed to Jack the Ripper were killed by the same individual? Could there have been copycats?

[Red Badger]

Possible..................

[17th Miss Regt]

That quote is from a Sherlock Holmes story.

I find it doubtful a raving lunatic could murder spree for 3 years. Sadly, this suspect sounds way too nuts to do anything other than exist.

JtR was left-handed. Was this guy? As for the DNA, the victims were prostitutes. I’d suspect plenty of DNA was available from multiple individuals. Maybe this Kosminski guy was just a client.

The report says that a bloodstained shawl of the victim was where they got the DNA.
But they didn’t say whether they got the DNA from Kosminski from his blood. As someone in this forum noted, Kosminski could have spread his DNA on the deceased when he used her services as a prostitute. 19th Century Clinton style.

[Uncle Miltie]

In any case, I have apologized for my misunderstanding.

Funny I didn’t recognize a Sherlock Holmes quote. I read all of them several times as a lad.

[KC_Conspirator]

Its was most likely Kosminski all the time.

it’s Bruno Kirby!!!!

Solved on the acclaimed TV program “Bulls*it Or Not?”

The investigative Bulls*it team was dispatched to London where they put all the pieces together.

Netflix movie coming soon.

Did you post your reply to the wrong post?

[Getready]

Poor choice of word “countless”. Would usually mean “unlimited” . Eliana could have meant that “countless” meant that the total amount of women killed was unknown. Therefore unable to be counted.
She probably should have written “an unknown number”.
FYI, there are “only” 5 women who the contemporaneous authorities could say with confidence that the “Ripper” killed. The “canonical five”.
IMHO

They used to use compounds containing Mercury.
The saying was, “A night with Venus, gets you a lifetime with Mercury”
