The Grimsby Register recently had an intriguing Ripper-related article.

A Cleethorpes writer and Ripperologist wrote to Patricia Cornwell to share his theory after having read her “Case Closed”. To his surprise Ms  Cornwell responded to him, congratulating and apparently endorsing the theory by Tony Weaver (leading us to assume that it involves Walter Sickert in some way).

Unfortunately the article is more concerned with the correspondence between Mr. Weaver and Ms Cornwell, and Mr. Weaver’s theory is not discussed in any detail.  However it will be interesting to see if any more information surfaces in the near future.

Many are aware that Casebook suffered an unfortunate meltdown that resulted in the loss of both the Message Boards and the Blogs.

Thankfully things are back up and running, and I was able to recover most of the posts that were here before the loss.  Thanks to Stephen Ryder and his Merry Minions for all their hard work getting things back up and running!
