To be honest, Joe, I'd never even heard of a female suspect until you drew my attention to her. A terrifying creature, indeed!
The problem with the whole Ripper business is that a fairly convincing case can be made against pretty well every suspect. Have you read the recent Patricia Cornwell attempt to 'convict' the artist, Walter Sickert, for example?

Beat me to it, Wardy.
I used to have an absurd fascination with Jack The Ripper whilst growing up. My mum remembers me talking about him when I was about 7, which scared her sh1tless!
It continued into my teens, and during my early twenties I went to one of those people who do regressions. Turns out I was a 'friend' of one of the victims in a previous life. Hey ho, I always knew I was a scrubber!

Hiya scrubber! ;0P
Kidding of course but I too shared a morbid fascination with the ripper when I was younger and indeed still do slightly. As you say, twizzler boy beat me to it but isn't it amazing that this particular story still captures everyone? Especially as it really is quite a horrific story. Why do we have this kind of morbid interest? It's almost like a car crash, you go past but you have to look even tho you know you're most likely to see something horrid. Humans are bl00dy weird!
