1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: So we're talking about this DNA evidence, supposedly according to 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: this historian who worked with some forensic scientists matching DNA 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: from one of the victim's silk shawl with this Polish barber, 5 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Aaron Kosminsky, who lived in the Whitechapel area. He was 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: a barber. By all accounts, he had some mental health issues. 7 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: I think he was suffering from paranoia and delusions. Do 8 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 2: you think that sort of fits, you know, with the 9 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: gruesome nature of the murders or is it maybe a 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: distraction from more tangible evidence. 11 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 3: I mean, great question, and I think the answer is 12 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 3: we just don't know. Typically, serial killers, at least you know, 13 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 3: from what I've learned, they're very sort of well put 14 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: together in terms of their methodology and their thinking. They're 15 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 3: very focused. They're very clearly focused. I was talking before 16 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 3: the break, many of them sort of have this OCD component. 17 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: With the respect to the BTK serial killer whose daughter 18 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: I'd become friends with, interesting people hosting true crime shows. 19 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: But you know, he was able to literally one moment, 20 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: Dennis Rader could be the president of the church. He 21 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: was an animal control officer. He was a family man, 22 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: but then he could compartmentalize and then go ahead and 23 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 3: do this. But he, to you know, the average person, 24 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 3: was seemingly a very normal, functioning member of society. And 25 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: I was also, as you were reading about Aaron Kazminsky, 26 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: he did have some mental health issues. He was a barber, 27 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: you know, he could fit the bill. But there are 28 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: plenty of serial killers who obviously are depraved and demented, 29 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: but at least they give the outward appearance that they 30 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: are functioning normally in society, whereas Kuzminsky didn't. So maybe 31 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: it was a bit of a red herring. We simply 32 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 3: don't know. 33 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: Right because my understanding he was also confined to an 34 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: asylum from time to time, raising some questions about the 35 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: timeline timeline of the murders and could he have continued 36 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: killing even while institutionalized. The other aspect here that has 37 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: come to light is that, well Kuzminsky was a Polish Jew. 38 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: There were some tensions in Whitechapel at the time. In fact, 39 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: I think some of the police that were investigating this 40 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: wrote in sort of the margins of a police report 41 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 2: referring to Cosminsky as a dirty Jew, raising the question 42 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: that maybe this the suspicion surrounding because Minsky may have 43 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: been influenced by anti Semitic attitudes of the period. 44 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: I'm so glad you brought that up. I am Jewish myself, 45 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: and I guess not a lot changes over one hundred 46 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: and thirty seven, one hundred and thirty eight years, because 47 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: we see a big rise in anti Semitism today. But 48 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: back then in eighteen eighty eight, obviously before World War 49 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 3: One or World War two, but tensions were rising. It 50 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: was a very poor, as I was saying, poor section 51 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: of East London. The Jewish people were treated as scapegoats, 52 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: and the media, you know, the media pretends to be objective. 53 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: I was once a part of legacy media, but back 54 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 3: then the media was also a little bit unhinged and 55 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: they would print things as fact, even though a lot 56 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: of what they were saying was xenophobic and anti Semitic. 57 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: But newspapers wodspread rumors that the killer was likely Jewish 58 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: or a foreigner. Again, there were a lot of people 59 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: coming in from Ireland at that time, immigrating into into London. 60 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 3: So again it could have been the power and influence 61 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 3: of the media at the time that sort of drew 62 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 3: people to think, Hey, maybe it's this Jewish guy Aaron Kasminsky, 63 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 3: this Polish barber. Again, you know, this guy Russell Edwards, 64 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: the British author and researcher. He is standing by his 65 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: his findings, but not everybody is doing the same people. 66 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 3: It was. His study was put out in the Journal 67 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: of Forensic Sciences, and afterwards the publication came out and 68 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 3: says said it had its own concerns because this guy, 69 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: Russell Edwards, could not produce a lot of sort of 70 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 3: the original data that he was basing this on, and 71 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: he was kind of struggling with questions over the method 72 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: dollar to use. So the scientific journalist said, hey, wait 73 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: a minute, So they're questioning it, but she is not. 74 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: And again, as you point out, the concern also is 75 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: that the DNA evidence that was extracted from this silk 76 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: shawl reportedly belonging to one of the victims, Catherine Edos. 77 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: There's questions about the chain of custody. Was that, in fact, 78 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: even found in a crime scene, did that shawl belong 79 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: to Catherine Edos. I suppose what would be really handy 80 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: to sort of help nail this case closed would be 81 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: maybe a photograph of Catherine Edos wearing such a silk shawl. 82 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: But you know, photography was just sort of in its 83 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: infancy back then, so that would be a very rare fine. 84 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: But I mean, that would really go a long way 85 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: to nailing this shut, don't you think. 86 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: Yeah? And you know, I'm sure they're looking for it 87 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: and trying to find that. As far as I know, 88 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 3: it has not been found. And again, this Journal of 89 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: Forensic Sciences, where this this paper was essentially published saying 90 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 3: it is a shawl belonging to Cathernetto's victim of Jack 91 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: the Ripper, the publication itself is questioning it. And there 92 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: is sort of like a fierce combative I don't want 93 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: to say a competition, but these researchers and criminologists and 94 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: people who study this study ripperology, they want to be 95 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: the ones to say, hey, I've unmasked this one hundred 96 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: and thirty seven hundred and thirty eight year old mystery 97 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: and others this happens, you know, And I'm not a 98 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: scientist and was never really part of that world, but 99 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 3: I have friends who are. It's very competitive. People want 100 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: to sort of win right. So there are other suspects 101 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: out there. Other researchers are saying no, Russell Edwards is wrong. 102 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: But he's gotten, to his credit, he's gotten family members 103 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 3: from both sides, from Kozminski and from Catherine Edos to 104 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: come forward and basically substantiate his findings, although they're not 105 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: scientists and we're researchers, but are basically standing behind him saying, yeah, 106 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: this is one hundred percent who it was. This is 107 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: Jack the Ripper. But I can tell you I don't 108 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: think the debate is over. But to your point, again, 109 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: they are able to find a photo and pinpoint this 110 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: silk shawl actually belongs to Katherine Edos and was also 111 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: at the scene, which is gonna be tough to do. 112 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: You know, cell phones aren't that old, Richard. It's gonna 113 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: be it's gonna be a challenge still to solve this. 114 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: Would he make of the claim that Aaron Kosminsky or 115 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: whomever is Jack was Jack the Ripper may have had 116 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: an accomplice. I mean, I've heard the rumblings about this. 117 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: Is there any evidence that you've read or come across 118 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: suggesting someone else was acting or was involved or to 119 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 2: your mind, is it pretty well settled that Jack Ripper 120 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: was acting alone. 121 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: No heard the same thing as you have that you 122 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 3: know that there are quote unquote co conspirators, but you know, 123 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 3: you see that today. One of the cases that we 124 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: obviously cover very closely here is the tragic and brutal 125 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 3: murders of the four University of Idaho students, and the 126 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: accused killer there is a guy named Brian coberg Or. 127 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: In just last week, they came out and said that 128 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: one of the victims has three different foreign forms of 129 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: male DNA under her fingernails. Now, that comes from a 130 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: lot of different things, But there are a lot of 131 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 3: people who are into conspiracy theories and believe there's no 132 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: way Brian coburg Or acted alone. And I think that 133 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: plays to the same point as Jack the Ripper. People, 134 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: you know, think that these acts, these gruesome murders, you 135 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: know where he's disemboweling people just simply couldn't be carried 136 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: out by one person, same way Brian koberg Er. People 137 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 3: say there's no way he could have murdered four college 138 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: kids basically in fifteen minutes and left without much of 139 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: a crime scene behind him. There's had to be tons 140 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: of blood, there was very little at the scene, none 141 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 3: in his car. So all this sort of you know, uh, 142 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: perpetuates these conspiracy theories. And while people say that Jack 143 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 3: the Ripper had an accomplice, I think most people who 144 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 3: really are into ripperology as it is known, I think 145 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 3: most people who are really into it and dedicated to it, 146 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: they believe that it was all perpetrated by one killer. 147 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 2: Now maybe it's just me, but it seems like, I mean, 148 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: we have now the newspapers filled with you know, mass 149 00:09:53,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: killings and mass shootings unfortunately, but serial killers. I mean, 150 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember the last sort of high profile 151 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: serial killer. And you mentioned, of course, the BTK killer 152 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: Dennis Rader, and his killing spree ran almost twenty years, 153 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: but it ended around nineteen ninety one. And I'm trying 154 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 2: to think, like the era, if we can use that 155 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: term of the serial killer, it seems like we just 156 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 2: don't hear a lot about them anymore. What do you 157 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: suppose that is? I mean, does it have anything to 158 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: do with hitchhiking? For example, hitchhikers were like common prey 159 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: for serial killers. Nobody hitchhikes anymore. Do you think those 160 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: that's related. 161 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: These are great questions. I mean, I think the bottom 162 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: line is, well, two things. There are definitely still serial 163 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 3: killers out there among us. However, it is just becoming 164 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: across the board. And this is a great thing. It's 165 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 3: becoming so much harder to commit rhymes and get away 166 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: with them. You know, there have been instances in the 167 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 3: last couple of years of just men going missing in Austin, 168 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: Texas and a lot of them found drowned, you know, 169 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: in a lake there, so people suspect maybe there's a 170 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: serial killer there. There's no question that there's people still 171 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: actively committing these murders on a grand scale, but it 172 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 3: is also becoming next to them possible to commit like 173 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 3: the perfect murder. I mean, digital forensics is just advancing. 174 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: It's such a rapid pace that if you're going to 175 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 3: do something in this day and age, you're likely going 176 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 3: to get caught. But if you go back, you know, 177 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: like you said, the days of Ted Bundy or Ed 178 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: Gean or these other guys, John Wayne Gacy, it was 179 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: just a different time. You know, no cell phones, people 180 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: weren't taking pictures of every single thingying. There wasn't social media. Now, 181 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: if you're going to do something untoured. You're definitely you're 182 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: definitely getting caught on a camera by someone somewhere somehow. 183 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 3: And I think it's just much more difficult to perpetuate 184 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: a series of murders than it was, you know, even 185 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 3: a decade or two decades, definitely three decades ago. 186 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: Right, everyone's submitting DNA voluntarily now to ancestry dot com 187 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: and twenty what is it twenty three and me. So 188 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: even if you have no prior record, no prior run 189 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: ins with police where you haven't given fingerprints or DNA evidence, 190 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: they just you know, if they suspect you, they go 191 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: to a relative and they get their DNA. 192 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean you'll see headlines if 193 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: you look. I mean I'm looking more than most people 194 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: because it's kind of the world I live in right now. 195 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: But almost every day there's a company in Texas called 196 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: as Ran. They do great work in terms of like 197 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: DNA sequencing and tracing, and they're fine killers daily from 198 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 3: like fifty you know, fifty sixty years ago. You know 199 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 3: one serial killer who is fine Bars right now making 200 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 3: a lot of headlines as the Long Island serial killer. 201 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 3: The accused. There is a guy named Rex Sheuerman, who 202 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: is said to have killed all these sex workers in 203 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 3: Long Island. So and he was operating till fairly recently, 204 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 3: but they believe, you know, he could be responsible upwards 205 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 3: of forty or fifty possibly more murders. And they're still 206 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 3: investigating that. And you know, they were just able to 207 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 3: they were tracked him down through a pizza crust DNA 208 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 3: on a pizza crust led investigators back to him. 209 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: Do you believe we're finally getting close to solving the 210 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 2: mystery of Jackie Ripper with the identification of Aaron Kasminsky 211 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: or do you think this case is going to remain 212 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: unsolved with more questions than answers. 213 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: Great question and for complete transparency. I honestly don't know. 214 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 3: My gut tells me. My gut tells me that it 215 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 3: is not this guy kauz Minsky. He doesn't exactly fit 216 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 3: the bill. It'd be fascinating, Richard, for you to get 217 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: a criminal profile or on maybe and I could suggest 218 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: some to you to kind of look at his background 219 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: much more extensively. It's an entire science onto itself. But 220 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 3: there are other big name suspects. I don't think they're 221 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: gonna be able to go off of the kind of 222 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: degraded DNA from one hundred and thirty seven years ago, 223 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: not to mention the fact that they're not one hundred 224 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: percent certain that that even belonged to Katherine Edos or 225 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 3: was even at the crime scene. But it makes for 226 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: amazing headlines. It obviously stirs up the conversation again. It 227 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: also energizes the other ripperologists who are studying this. I 228 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: think eventually we're gonna get a name that more people 229 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: agree upon, and there will be some sort of consensus. The 230 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 3: science now is just too good. The question, of course, 231 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: is if they can get material that's strong enough from 232 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: that many years back. 233 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 234 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: one a m.
