I mostly find reading the newspaper a bit of a time waster but found this a very interesting read.

Absolutely fascinating story, Clutch. Thanks.

Weren't some of the killings said to have involved dismemberment with some degree of medical knowledge?

Not necessarily, Bobby. The chief suspect was described as a hairdresser --- in the 1800s that could have included being a barber. There were still
barbers that were regarded as doctors back then. And it wasn't so much dismemberment as it was mutilation of the corpse.

Pretty crazy that modern DNA solved a century old mystery.

Did Peyton Manning just run for a 1st down? That's something you NEVER see.

Wrong thread LOL. Need to pay better attention to which tabs I'm in.

But to the actual topic, it's been what 120 years since the murders? Seems kinda pointless now to know the identity.

But its pretty cool that modern technology solved a century+ year old mystery.

Who knows how long it'll take them to find MH370.

Could have been the first thing he saw that looked interesting -- a bean-like shape.

Maybe I'm thinking about the Elizabeth Short murder.

Peyton Manning is the killer?


But in all seriousness, that was very interesting. Thanks, Clutch.

Thanks, Clutch.

I find serial killers and unsolved mysteries extremely interesting.

not to the guy that owns the shawl he bought for cheap and to rewrite the history books.
