Too busy today to offer much commentary, but this little piece shouldn't pass un-posted: [Was Jack the Ripper a Woman](http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science%5Ftechnology/article485887.ece?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)? The theory rests on DNA and no motive is offered. I found this interesting, though:

> The chief suspects, who included a barrister, a Polish boot-maker and a Russian confidence trickster, were all men. But Frederick Abberline, the detective who led the investigation, thought it possible the killer was a woman. This was because the fifth victim, Mary Kelly, was "seen" by witnesses hours after she was killed. Abberline thought this was the murderer running away, in Kelly's clothes.
