The Evil Genius Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Wasn't sure if this should go in the Golden State killer thread...and didn't remember one for mass killers..but this is/was of interest to me. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jack-the-ripper-identity-aaron-kosminski-named-forensic-scientists/ Quote Jack the Ripper, the notorious serial killer who terrorized the streets of London more than a century ago, may have finally been identified by forensic scientists in Great Britain. Genetic tests published last week in the Journal of Forensic Sciencespoint to Aaron Kosminski, a 23-year-old Polish barber and a prime police suspect at the time. Jack the Ripper is thought to have claimed the lives of at least five women in the Whitechapel area of London between Aug. 31, 1888, and Nov. 9, 1888. No one was ever charged in the murders. Kosminski has previously been named as a possible suspect, but this is the first time the supporting DNA evidence has been published in a peer-reviewed journal, according to Science. The results come from a forensic examination of a stained silk shawl that investigators said was found next to the mutilated body of Catherine Eddowes, the killer's fourth victim, whose badly mutilated body was found Sept. 30, 1888. The shawl is stained with what is claimed to be blood and semen, the latter thought by some to have belonged to the killer. More at link above.
