Obsession

I have been researching for the presentation, and in regards to the hype surrounding the mystery of Jack the Ripper; its amazing to see how many books and newspaper articles there are. Every year there is a new book emerging, all of which try to solve the mystery. Also, I found news articles dating from 1998-2004 which proclaim to have new evidence. One woman, Patricia Cornwell, has spent over $6million researching Jack the Ripper and has even placed the blame with Walter Sickert. Furthermore, Trevor Marriott, a retired detective has spent over 10 years researching the case. I find it amazing that people would go to such lengths to find out about things that happened so long ago.
