I don't believe it, at least. So here's the rant just to remind you guys. So here's the thing. I don't think they have found Jack the Ripper. Not one part of me thinks it. In fact, there's many reasons for that. The fact that this has been a thing that comes around every few years is a big red flag to me. And it's the same person bringing it around every few years and not really updating any of the actual info. That shawl that they're claiming they have this DNA from is a shawl that they're claiming is found, was found at Catherine Eddowes crime scene one. They have no way of knowing that. The only way of knowing that would be if it was among the exhaustive list of her items that were found on and around her at the crime scene. That is well documented. And it is nowhere. There is nowhere that says there is like an 8 foot long, really expensive shawl that might actually even be a table runner found on her person. Nowhere. So if we don't have that, then how do we know that this thing is hers? And how do we know that it was found at the crime scene? Here's your answer. We don't. So there's a big, giant hole of doubt that has already been thrust through this entire thing. I don't think it was found at the crime scene. I think she would have sold it at one point. I don't think she would have held on to that kind of shawl. I mean, there's all kinds of stories of her selling, you know, shoes earlier in the day and selling anything that was on her. It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't, I don't buy that one at all. Furthermore, the story of this whole thing is that Sergeant Amos Simpson was the one who is said to have taken this Shaw from the crime scene. A supposed blood soaked Shaw he took from the crime scene. One, that would have been a immense risk to do that. And two, I think we all need to remember what I said a thousand times during our Jack the Ripper series. We can't really comprehend how dark these crime scenes were. There was no light. We're going by candlelight. You're telling me that this man plucked a blood soaked shawl from a crime scene and just brought it home for his wife? I don't buy that. Also there's the fact that Amos Simpson was a metro cop. He was a Metropolitan police officer. Mitre Square, where Catherine Eddowes was found, that is London PD jurisdiction. He has no business being there. And even if he is there, he has no business at that crime scene. So that gives me pause. The DNA, the DNA, we don't even know what it is. It might be blood, it might be semen. They have no definitive answer for that. So that 100% match, I don't believe. They don't even know what, what the actual DNA source is for this. And also there is no evidence of him leaving semen at scenes. Of course he can depart from his pattern. Of course that's happened before. I am fully willing to admit that and I'm willing to accept that if there's other pieces of evidence along with it. But the fact that he never did this and there was never evidence of any classic sexual assault or rape at any of these scenes, it was really violence and mutilation. It doesn't really fit with the pattern. And once again, I'm willing to admit that a pattern can be broken if you give me other evidence to tell me that that's so. I just don't see it here. The DNA itself, it's mitochondrial DNA. That's what they're not telling you in any of these things. This is not straight up DNA. This is mitochondrial DNA. It can eliminate a suspect, but it cannot identify a suspect. Absolute anyone in the maternal line of this DNA match can also be the person this is. Can be thousands of people. Thousands of people in London can match this DNA. So that's not good enough for me. That's not identifying. That is, you can eliminate. And also just to put A pin on this. The researcher who has put this forward is Russell Edwards. He doesn't have a track record that I'm willing to follow here. Really. I will, of course, give benefit of the doubt if he can provide more evidence. But he also claimed once, and so did his team, that they found a victim of Ian Brady and Myra Henley that has been missing for decades and decades. Keith Bennett and his family has been looking for his body on those moors forever and hoping to find his body on those moors. And it was really fucked up that his team basically announced on social media that they had found Keith Bennett and they hadn't. So that upsets me. That makes me question it. Of course, one massive, monumental mistake doesn't mean that you can never do anything good in your life. So if he can provide more evidence that says this is 100% DNA match, which I don't believe he can, then I'm willing to listen to it. But no, Aaron Kosminski is not Jack the Ripper.
