So the History channel have a new 8 part series where his grandson asserts that CaB wobbly documentary favourite H. H. Holmes was actually Jack The Ripper.

A total load of bollocks of course, I wonder how they can pad this theory out? Along with Scorsese's The Devil In The White City the perception of Holmes was as a psychotic genius who murdered hundreds. It seems in reality he was just a poor con-man who ended up killing a few people at opportune moments in order to profit and he exaggerated his exploits in prison to make more of a name as he despised mediocrity, tying him in with Jack The Ripper just seems like his grandson scraping the barrel.
