Episode notes
DNA Claim Is Not Definitive
- The case's supposed DNA 'solution' is unreliable because the shawl's provenance and mitochondrial DNA limitations make identification doubtful.
- Aliza Kelly argues mitochondrial DNA can eliminate suspects but cannot uniquely identify Jack the Ripper.
Victim's Birth And Death Charts Mirror
- Mary Ann 'Polly' Nichols was born with a Virgo sun and Gemini moon and was murdered under the same Sun–Moon configuration.
- Elena suggests that the victim's birth and death charts establish the murder's archetypal signature for the whole case.
Neptune–Pluto Conjunction Shaped The Case
- A rare Neptune–Pluto conjunction in Gemini during 1888 created a unique cultural signature of mystery, death, and diffusion.
- Elena Urquhart links that conjunction to Whitechapel's foggy, mythic legacy and its enduring public fascination.
