[h=1]Jack the Ripper mystery solved by top detective after 125 years[/h]Writer Patricia Cornwell cracks the case after years of extensive research and funding.
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.”

It seems like Patricia was at it back in 2001 collecting evidence.

The American crime novelist Patricia Cornwell was last night accused of "monstrous stupidity" for ripping up a canvas to prove that the Victorian painter Walter Sickert was Jack the Ripper.

Even in the context of the crackpot conspiracy theories, elaborate frauds and career-destroying obsessions that London's most grisly whodunnit has spawned, Cornwell's investigation is extreme. Not only did she have one canvas cut up in the vain hope of finding a clue to link Sickert to the murder and mutilation of five prostitutes, she spent £2m buying up 31 more of his paintings, some of his letters and even his writing desk.

It is interesting back in the beginning she was associated with crackpot conspiracy theorists. In the end she was working with Scotland yard on the case. The newspapers are now stating she has now cracked the case. Whether that is true or not, it is still a lesson for people who dismiss anyone as a conspiracy theorist alone. Your unnecessary noise on a subject is counter productive.
