While I think it odd they only found part of his money, I can't be bothered.

I'm listening to the sountrack of A Single Man. :wub:

He's dead, Jim.
It would still be nice to know who did it though.

In theory, yeah.  In practice, this is one of those mysteries that is more interesting if it's not solved.  After all, if they ever figure out who he was, it's going to be someone no one has ever heard of.

This case is going to become like Jack the Ripper eventually, in that there will be one suspect after another that just gets debunked (but not before a book is written to make the case).  I guess one way it won't be the same though is a lot of whores weren't eviscerated by this guy. :)

Don't they pretty much know (or think they know) who did it these day?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Nope.  The police at the time probably had the best idea, but I seem to recall they couldn't have moved forward as nobody would testify against their main suspect.  Who that main suspect is not exactly known.  It's entirely possible they confused some different people since few of the police would have spoken Yiddish and the suspect was likely a Jew.  Most likely it was some loony Jewish fellow who was imprisoned died or moved on after the White Chapel killings.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No, definitely not.

since it happened ever few decades they name a new definitive suspect.

:yes:

The latest suspect du jour that I recall was Walter Sickert, the German-British impressionist painter.
