By September, 1888, she was living, on and off, at Crossingham's lodging house, on Dorset Street, in Spitalfields.An article that appeared in the Daily Telegraph shortly after her death described her as having been of "fair complexion, with light hair, and she possessed rather attractive features." The remains of Catherine Eddowes, the victim of the Mitre-square tragedy, were interred on Monday afternoon at Ilford cemetery, a vast crowd following in procession. But as Adam at Science reports, this more detailed data still doesn’t say enough. As Hansi Weissensteiner, a mitochondrial DNA expert, points out, mitochondrial DNA can’t be used to positively ID a suspect, it can only rule one out since thousands of other people could have had the same mitochondrial DNA. Additionally, experts have critiqued the way the results were published, as some of the data is shown as graphs instead of the actual results. Forensic scientist Walther Parson says the authors should publish the mitochondrial DNA sequences. “Otherwise the reader cannot judge the result,” Parson says.

i just love to read a book that is supposed to be about facts and evidence and turns not only into a “i am the greatest ever” feast of the author himself while simultaneously just pushing every detail to fit his own theories. The book itself contains some basic factual errors. For example, Edwards consistently refers to H Division as being Stepney (which it was at the time of the formation of the Metropolitan Police) when in 1888, it was Whitechapel. The book is more than just an outline of a theory and supporting evidence for Edwards; it comes across as a cathartic exercise. It is obviously a very personal for him, and he details his “journey” through gathering evidence alongside his “journey” through life – his business concerns, pregnancies, miscarriages, IVF treatments, etc. Finally, Edwards almost seems to think he was guided by “destiny” in “solving” the case. To me, this raises concerns, as emotion can outweigh the evidence. The slayings never faded from public consciousness, however. Legions of “Ripperologists” have developed their own theories over the decades, and the lineup of possible suspects has included the father of Winston Churchill, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” author Lewis Carroll, and Prince Albert Victor, grandson of Queen Victoria and second in line to the British throne. She had, she said, made several visits to France at this time, and had accompanied a gentleman to Paris, but, not liking it there, she had returned to London after just two weeks.
