The story of Morris’s research includes many twists and turns as he
examines the principle players, the killer’s motivation, and modern day
cases that bear some similarity to the Ripper murders.
The Ripper victims were all prostitutes, murdered and mutilated in
the foggy alleyways of Whitechapel. By the surgical nature of the
wounds, the killer was assumed to have some surgical knowledge.
Morris's theory is supported by the findings of an Australian scientist who in 2006 used swabs from letters supposedly sent to police by the Ripper to build a partial DNA profile of the killer.
The results suggested that the person who murdered and mutilated at least five women from 1888 onwards may have been a woman.
