Its just another guy trying to sell a book--every few years this same thing happens--now its a pimp who did it---oh brotherl
WW, yes he certainly looks the part, and certainly soldified his nature during his time in Johannesburg--he fit "Jack's criminal profile perfectly. They said his life was filled with bitter relationships with women. Also that he frequently wrote newspapers in the same way that "Jack" did. and he was a Polish Jew, and the profilers had "Jack" as a Jew. I'm waiting to hear more from the Ripperologists.Buzzm1, did you scroll down in the first link you posted, there is a picture of Silver there. He sure looks like a psychopath! Is there a way to post his picture here for everyone to see?
It*s interesting the author places Silver in the Whitechapel (sp?) area at the time of the birth of his (Silver*s) daughter. I wonder what a psychologist would have to say about that, if there is some bizzare reason he murdered at that time, especially since he mutilated the women*s bodies and removed their organs.

Thanks for the help christine!!Hiya WhiteWolf
Hiya WhiteWolf
He looks like Jack The Ripper to me, and he sounds like him too.Boy, he is one creepy looking dude, isn't he?

It is always around their eyes, huh?
Actually, there is a strong belief that the Ripper letters weren't by the killer, but a hoax by a journalist looking to boost circulation of his paper while thumbing his nose at the authorities at the same time.
Great post. I seriously doubt Cornwall's claim.Maybe he was just a fruitcake that wrote letters as he was a fantascist not the killer. The only real letter is as you say the one that contained some of the kidney. All the Ripper files are now open to the public and not sealed anymore... it would be a true miracle of science if the killer was found now.Cannot wait to see the outcome!I agree with you, most "ripperologists" feel that the letters were all hoaxes; the only possible exception is the one that went to Lusk with part of Catherine Eddowes' kidney. The letters came from all over England, in many different handwritings, and were received for years after the crimes stopped. The case really caught the imagination of the public, and I suspect that triggered the flood of letters. DNA testing would only be helpful if there was genuine DNA to test and compare to. Patricia Cornwell got results that "could" have included Sickert as the author of some letters, which really only proves that maybe he wrote a hoax letter or two, not that he was Jack the Ripper.
I feel like an idiot now! Maybe it was a no go, DK.Do we have an update on this yet? This was back in 2005!
Full article: click hereThe face of Jack the Ripper has been pieced together by Scotland Yard experts from evidence left by the Victorian killer.
Modern profiling techniques have been used to form the most accurate portrait ever of the murderer, whose identity has remained a mystery for 118 years.
The clues also suggest that police at the time were probably searching for the wrong kind of man.
