Might Karliah be able to supply a dna sample? 

Please keep us informed of any developments with this search etc.

Saw the report this morning, it seems they have given up on alleged relatives and gone for brothers and sisters. 

Here is an article I wrote for Ripperologist earlier this year, on August 1st Hull Daily Mail featured a piece on my research into Deeming and this particular case.  http://blog.casebook.org/mcebe/?p=222

Might Karliah be able to supply a dna sample? 

Not if Karliah is a lady, to get a Y chromosome test you need a direct male line male.

I was hoping that Karliah might be a 'Karl'. 

Just read your article Mike - really interesting. Has anyone made a film about Deeming yet?

[mikecovell]

Not a film, but in May I had the privilage of escorting a film crew around Hull.  They were producing a documentary on Deeming and had come over from Australia.  They had other locations to visit in the UK and further afield and the documentary will air later this year.  I gave my opinion on Deeming's time in Hull based on official files rather than press accounts.

I know of at least one Rootschatter who has a male avatar etc. but is in fact a woman, so it's possible.

Mike, Can you please let us know when this doco airs? I'd be interested in seeing it.

I have people's avatars turned off, so I didn't know Karliah had one. 

[Redroger]

(S)he doesn't but I think the argument is still valid.

I have known forum users on other sites to have names that are neither here nor there.
