I am proud to have solved Jack the Ripper thanks to the cooperation of Scotland Yard

After Scotland Yard assisted me in discovering my prime suspect's handwritings, I extensively examined them in comaprison with the known Ripper handwritings. My 1200 page document examination report unearthed 120 matching handwriting traits, thus conclusively proving the indentity of Jack the Ripper.

Many of these traits were too subtle and inconspicuous to even the most expert document examiner. It took my special talents to solve a case no other document examiner in the world could solve in 120 years, proving my forensic skills are superior to all others.

An example of my exemplary work from my Jack the Ripper report is shown below.

Specializing in handwriting and typewriter forensics

The most common document forgeries are committed within the signature. Handwriting is my specialty of expertise. My case history includes discovery of self disguised forgery, distorted age forgery, cut and paste forgery, tape forgery, texture distortion, alteration forgery, typewriter forgery, and various forms of freehand forgeries.

Another major aspect of document examination is comparing two or more handwriting samples to determine if they were written by the same person or not. This is the forensics I utilize in solving many forgery cases, authenticating famous people's handwritings, ransom or suicide notes, and murder cases, including Jack the Ripper.

An excellent example of this type of comparison is shown above. Q108e [they won't fix] comes from Jack the Ripper's Dear Boss letter of September 25, 1888. You can clearly see the extensive examination I performed on just these three words, but sometimes, it's necessary when comparison documents do not easily look alike as in the Ripper case.

Available to appear as expert witness

For qualifying as an expert witness for trial, my superior reputation is based upon two degrees in the fields of document examination and graphology, years of experience, my case history, and my masterpiece case, Jack the Ripper.

I graduated with top honors and two degrees from Andrew Bradley, an expert document examiner with over 30 years experience. I also earned a degree in graphology, handwriting analysis, at ISHS, studying under Ted Widmer, a handwriting analyst, with over 25 years experience, and graduating at the top of my class.

It is the combination of both fields which gives me the superior skills and talents over other document examiners. Being an expert in graphology developed a much sharper eye for the nuances of handwriting that I bring to all my forgery cases, including Jack the Ripper.

Expert graphologist, determining personality traits from handwriting

Graphology is the science of determining personality and character traits from their handwriting. This is a valid, accepted science based on imperical data and the scientific method. It is classified as a branch of psychology. The reason is it is the "brain" and not the "hand" that controls handwriting. How the "brain" chooses to write gives us insight into the personality of the writer.

Over 300 personality traits can be analyzed by graphology, and it has been proven to be 90% accurate. You could think of it as a Rorshach test in reverse. Instead, it is the subject who draws the picture, and the graphologist who analyzes it.

The applications are mostly used for employment screening, romantic relationships, personal awareness, and career choices.
