documents of that time, which makes it much easier to believe than the "Diary of Jack The Ripper". This book "The Ultimate Jack The Ripper Companion" crumbles the credibility of the "Ripper Diaries."As I said before, I would have liked to believe that the Ripper Diary was authentic but the strongest reason against it is the very inconclusive findings of the handwriting analysts. Also, lets not forget the book that shows that Mary Kelly might not have killed by Jack The Ripper. Her murder was linked to another case.All this controversial evidence is too compelling for me to believe the diary is real. Or at least, it casts a huge shadow of doubt over the little glowing voice in me that wants to believe. The belief that the diary is real and all that is spoken within it is true has an unstable foundation. The foundation is the diary itself, the physical diary. Many of the tests done on the diary have too many holes and cracks in it. And with a weak foundation, how can you possibly hope to create a strong building. Considering all the controversial evidence, I dont care what the Ripper diaries say, you can just throw it away, because its a lie. So unless something new is discovered or realized soon, the Ripper murders may never be solved. Because with every day that passes, more gossip is spoken, like the Ripper diaries. Tales like these cloud the all ready hazy picture we have of the true identity of Jack The Ripper....
