Midico ripper3/5/2023 The author also responds to the criticisms of those who maintain that Sickert cannot be the Ripper due to the banal reason that the painter was not in London during the period in which the murders took place, the author replies that Sickert was in London in those months, but the clue that she proposes is embarrassingly weak: the painter would have been in the British capital city because in that period there was a theatrical show with his favorite actress, which he surely wanted to watch. But Cornwell does not explain the obvious absurdity that arises from this theory: that is why Sickert, so brilliant in escaping the police, should have sown clues that point at him. Some of latter ones in particular refer to the fact that the killer could have physical deformities that made him incapable of sexual relations. Cornwell insists that Sickert is the author of many of the letters sent by the murderer to the police and also of some of those sent by concerned citizens who advised investigators on how to proceed. The writer, who certainly invested a lot of time and resources in her research, perseveres in blaming Sickert on the basis of clues such as his ability to diusguise himself, alter the tone of his voice and speak different languages. Having written one of the worst and most ludicrous books on Jack the Ripper in 2002 was obviously not enough for crime writer Patricia Cornwell since she returned to the subject 15 years later, increasingly obsessed by her absurd belief that the murderer is the painter Walter Sickert about which she does not want to change her mind.
