First-person sources

Jack the Ripper, Other serial killers Add comments

It’s no secret that I’m working on more articles on the Jack the Ripper crimes. I hesistate to spill the beans on the results of my latest research before the essay is finished and accepted for publication, but I am too excited not to say anything.

I just landed an exciting one-on-one interview with a first-person source for my next article. If all goes as planned, not only will the insights gained be beneficial to my article, but the interview itself will become a sidebar article which ought to be of considerable interest.

I won’t say just now who the interview is with, but I will tease this much: the focus of my next article is a comparative study between Dennis Rader of the BTK murders, and Jack the Ripper. My source will be an eye-popper, I promise.

Stay tuned!

    It’s a bit early to say with full confidence, but it’s looking good at this point that it will be published in the same venue my first article appeared in print.

    Jimmy, Who Jack was is of less interest to me than what type of person Jack might have been. That’s because I suspect most of us may be bringing a load of false assuptions to the table on that score, which means our “best guesses” on his identity are, in all likelihood, far off target anyway.

    sorry, where exactly will this be published?

    will it be submitted to casebook as a dissertation?

    Joel,

    I don’t announce those details until they’re rock-solid bankable… stay tuned.

    No, I doubt it will be on Casebook as a dissertation, though I may eventually put a draft of it on this blog.
