Hi guys i just read through this weeks posts and there great. the info on the copy cat killer can be used to to show how ripperology is still thriving in todays society.

I just ckeched my email and we are doing our presentation in week 12 at 9am. so we can meet in week 11 to put everything together. I jsut hope we don't get people walking in Half way through.

I've been working some of the conclusion from the points we agreed and i think its ok oh an i think its a brilliant idea to use images in fact the images will help show that jack the ripper has loads of different personas which makes him appear fictional. Aslo it shows how Jack the ripper is continually re packaged to encourage and maintain society's interest in he or she although i've a bit disappointed that there is little info or pictures on a female jack the ripper i mean its possible that Jack the ripper was female, i suppose that is a point we could raise in the presentation.

ok i just found think the closest image we can get to a female jack the rippper. There was a film called DR. Jekyll and Sister Hyde where the doctor turned into a female and killed people although this was based on kekyll and hyde. although they killed women in particular.

oh just found ome more infor on a female jack the ripper. the link is below:
http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Jack-the-Ripper-may-have-been-female/2006/05/17/1147545371933.html

it states that "technology developed in Australia has tested 118-year-old DNA the notorious serial killer may have left behind and built a partial female profile." i'll bring the infor to lecture

Hi Sam. Ive been on a few websites about Jack the ripper actually being a woman, and several articles call jack the ripper Jill the ripper instead. This one website comments on again the Australian scientist who used swabs from the letters which were sent to the police. I think this just shows how worldwide the Jack the ripper case has become and how people even today are coming up with crazy conclusions as to who he or she actually was. The fact that all of this persons DNA and Cells are still around being preserved 100 years later is amazing. Also how the letters have been kept is fantasic. This article i found was from the inderpendant newspaper posted Thursday, 18 May 2006 so i know it isnt up to date but thought it was still useful.
