| London police discover one of Jack the Ripper's victims |
BUT DO RIPPEROLOGISTS
AGREE?—Today, 126 years ago Catherine Eddowes was murdered in East London. One author believes he’s discovered whodunit.
The following is the lede graph from an article by History Channel writer
Christopher Klein. His subject is a
review of the new book “Naming Jack the Ripper” by Russell Edwards.
The following is
from Klein’s article:
Based
on DNA testing of a 126-year-old shawl, the author of a new book being released
today claims to have solved one of history’s greatest murder mysteries and
unmasked the identity of one of the most infamous serial killers of all
time—Jack the Ripper. Has Jack the Ripper's Identity Been Revealed?
In
the early morning hours of September 30, 1888, police discovered the mutilated
body of Catherine Eddowes, her throat slit and left kidney removed, in London’s
Mitre Square. Eddowes had been the second prostitute inside of an hour found
murdered in that section of the city, and the slaying bore the grisly
signatures of the serial killer who for weeks had been terrorizing London’s
East End—Jack the Ripper.
For the complete
Christopher Klein article, whereupon he debates, Russell Edwards’ claim that he’s
solved the Jack the Ripper murders.
