Money From The Ripper

[Lynn Cates]

bang for the buck

Hello Stewart. Thanks.

Of course, it is all moot since:

1. I have no illusions about the letter being from the killer (although nice to know which prankster was involved).

2. The letter is no longer with us.

I agree, though, about the testing--very expensive; results not worth it. As they say locally, "Not much bang for the buck."

Cheers.

You are correct about the DNA Stewart

About the only useful test that could be done, if a significant sample was identified, would be what is known as a Y STR test, which would identify the sample as coming from a male or female donor

final decision

Hello DGB. Thanks for posting that.

Wonder when a final decision will be reached?

Cheers.
