WHO was Jack the Ripper? It's one of the most enduring mysteries in the history of crime and now best-selling author Patricia Cornwell is sure she has solved it. The American crime writer claims to have unearthed evidence that she feels certain means she has "cracked" the case.
Cornwell has spent millions trying to find the identity of the famous serial killer, who terrorised Victorian London. She has even enlisted the help of a former head of Scotland Yard.
So who is Cornwell’s Ripper?
The writer says all the evidence points to Walter Sickert, an influential artist with ties to the British royal family.
Cornwell says she has discovered watermarks on some of the letters allegedly sent by the Ripper to police that match paper used by Sickert.
She told the London Evening Standard: “It’s a completely circumstantial case with the only real science that we can count on after all these years being the forensic analysis, which is really hard to feel is coincidental when you keep seeing watermarks on paper that Jack the Ripper and Sickert had in common.”
