Joanna,
As far as I know, what happened to the apron part is just another of the mysteries surrounding the murders. As for the letters, there were many, but the most famous (it supplied the name) was printed in the Daily News on October 1, 1888. If you hunt around this website you will find much material on the letters.

Hi Joanna,
Much of the vital evidence in this case, some which may have been properly analysed today, has gone missing. Some of it was destroyed by German bombers in the blitz. Some of it , as Donald said,has just plain gone missing, which adds to the already enormous aura and mystique surrounding this monster case.If you look how large the suspect section is on the message boards, you can see how difficult it is going to be to catch him. With most vital evidence MIA, it could already be impossible.
With good evidence, like the apron, doing the big vanish, it has led to alot of speculation of a cover up. Some prominant detectives, like Abberline ( the one portrayed in 'From Hell') have indicated in thier careers that they were told to shut up, because the Whitechapel murderer was not from the gutter, but the top end of town. I say this softly , as I am quite sure most of the police who use this website would look on this idea with disdain.As far as I know it was the famous Dear Boss letter that was printed in the newspaper in an attempt to see if someone would recognise the handwriting.An inept idea really, as the killer would have certainly disguised his normal style. Most people dismiss the letter today as a definate hoax made by some clowns at the news agency.
Have a good one, Sammy |
