4@ RESEARCHERS SAY THEY MAY áFINALLY KNOW THE IDENTITY OF THE INFAMOUS "JACK THE RIPPER"
THE SERIAL KILLER FROM
LATE 1800S 4@ENGLAND KILLED AT
LEAST 5 WOMAN IN LONDON IN
1888.4@ NOW - D-N-A EVIDENC
PUBLISHED BY TWO BRITISH
RESEARCHERS... IS GIVING
PEOPLE A CLUE AS TO WHO THE
KILLER MAY HAVE BEEN. THE
EVIDENCE POINTS TO A 23 YEAR
OLD POLISH BARBER - AARON 4@
KOSMINSKI. HE'S BEEN NAMED
AS A POSSIBLE SUSPECT BEFORE.
RESEARCHERS TESTED 4@BLOOD
AND SEMEN SAMPLES ON THE SHAWL
OF THE KILLER'S FOURTH VICTIM.
IT'S THE ONLY PIECE OF
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE AS4@SOCIATED
WITH THE MURDERS. THEY
ANALYZED THAT D-N-A... AND
COMPARED IT 4@TO LIVING
DESCENDANTS OF BOTH THE
VICTIM... AND THE SUSPECT.é
JOINING ME NOW IS DAWNIE
STEADMAN.4@ SHE'S THE
DIRECTOR OF 4@U-T'S "BODY FARM"
YOU'RE
YOU'RE A
YOU'RE A LITTLE 4@SUSPECT OF WHETHER THIS IS A TRUE CONNECTION. TELL US WHY. 4
DAWNIE: FROM ONE
STUDY ALONE, WE HAVE TO BE A
LITTLE CAUTIOUS. 4@ ISSUES
USING ONLY ONE PIECE OF
EVIDENCE. THE SHAWL WAS 4@
PASSED DOWN, SO ITS LIKELY
BEEN TOUCHED BY 4@MANY PEOPLE,
WHICH MEANS IT COULD HAVE 4@
GAINED DNA. ALSO THEY
DIDN'T TEST 4@TO SEE IF THE
AREAS THEY

THOUGHT 4@4@4@4@4@4@
THOUGHT WERE 4@4@4@4@4@
THOUGHT WERE BLOOD 4@4@
THOUGHT WERE BLOOD AND SEMEN REALLY WERE THAT. THEY JUST TOOK DNA FROM THOSE
AREAS. BETH: YOU'RE
ALSO WARY OF

THE TYPES OF DNA USED?
WE

BE MORE 4@TRANSPARENT.
BETH: 4@ WHAT ARE OTHER
CLUES SCIENTISTS USE TO SOLVE
THESE CASES? DAWNIE: 4@
IN A COLD CASE, YOU CAN TAKE
DNA FROM A SKELETON AND
COMPARE THAT TO FAMILIES. 4@
WHEN LOOKING FOR SUSPECTS,
THAT CAN BE MORE DIFFICULT. 4@
BETH: DO THESE FINDINGS
HELP THE BODY FARM IN ANY WAY? @

DO YOU THINK THIS CASE WILL EVER 4@OFFICIALLY BE SOLVED? DAWNIE: 4@ I
DON'T AND I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL

THEY NAMED. I WANT TO SEE
