Jacqueline the Ripper?

[DJCowboy]

There's a new book that theorizes that the infamous Jack the Ripper may have actually been a woman. When I first heard of this I dismissed it but then I read their arguments and they make some pretty good points..

i suppose it would make sense if mary was the killer. she was hanged in 1890, and would explain why jack "fell off the face of the earth" around that time

Female serial killers are rare, but not unheard of. Funny how the most unsolvable, is the most popular. Now a days, the FBI Behavioral Sciences unit, and modern forensic advancements STILL can't catch a vast majority of serial killers. The FBI profiled the Ripper case years ago, and a couple of the more famous members seemed to think it was a guy named Kosminski. Not sure if that's spelled correctly. I wonder if they'll open it up again. They still have never solved the "Torso Murders" her in Cleveland, back in the '20s, when Elliot Ness was the safety director. They found one of the bodies in my late Uncles, Uncles yard.

So instead of Halford singing "never turn your back on the Ripper", it may be "make the Ripper bend over".

...or, if you like, Jane the knife.
