MysteryQuest on the History Channel - watch it tonight!

ok yeah, we didn't know who they were going to use as a handwriting analyst. That part made us cringe!! Brent is first & foremost a scientist, so that kind of quackery is something he would really like to distance himself from......unfortunately there she was.

They actually went over many other suspects & there was waaayyy more evidence on the Tumblety guy, but the History Channel wanted to narrow it down to two it seems, so they whittled away at the footage to get the salacious parts they wanted.
As far as it being an American show/ American suspect - the guy who "discovered" Tumblety & wrote a book basically naming him as a suspect was Stewart Evans who is from London.

So handwriting analyst is a flaky way to profile someone?

I like this kind of stuff, but always try to be objectively cynical as to what is presented as proof.

Theres a show on Discovery on Sunday "Jack the Ripper in America", I'm guessing it's about the same guy.

Seems to be solid evidence he was in the right place at the right time and disappeared again, was a strong suspect at the time, but they didn't have the hard evidence.
