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.
