Jack the Ripper Mystery: The plays never faded from public consciousness; however, legions of Ripperologists have developed their theories over the decades, and the lineup of suspects has included the father of Winston Churchill, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" author Lewis Carroll, and Prince Albert Victor, grandson of Queen Victoria and second in line to the British throne. Some have even speculated that Jack the Ripper was Jill the Ripper, and female suspects include Mary Piercy, executed in 1890 after butchering her lover's wife and child with a carving knife, similarly to the notorious serial killer. Now, after over 3 years of scientific analysis, experts say Jack the Ripper's identity has been found interwoven in the ragged 126-year-old shawl, and they finger Polish immigrant Aaron Kosminsky as the serial killer. Using a level of analysis that was only possible in the last decade, they identified the dark splotches on the shawl as stains consistent with arterial blood spatter caused by slashing. They also discovered evidence of split body parts consistent with kidney removal and seminal fluid. They found that the mitochondrial DNA taken from the shawl matched that taken from Karen Miller, a direct descendant of Eddowes, and a female descendant of Kosminsky's sister Matilda who provided swabs of mitochondrial DNA from the inside of her mouth. Police who worked the case at the time of the murders would not have been surprised to see Kosminsky's name linked to the crime. At the time of the murders, Kosminsky was among the handful of primary suspects.

An Expedition into Astonishing Global Mysteries
The Moai of Easter Island: Ancient objects holding a series of carved symbols were unearthed on the world-renowned Easter Island, a small remote island located a few thousand miles west of South America and notable for the hundreds of gigantic monolithic humanoid statues known as Moai. The elaborate designs appear to be glyphs or a type of writing, but their meaning has never been determined. Some believe that deciphering the cryptic inscription could provide insight into what led the ancient Easter Island society to collapse. The Rongorongo script was found by Eugene Eyraud, a Roman Catholic lay friar who arrived on Easter Island as a missionary on January 2nd, 1864. The age of the tablets is unknown due to a lack of accurate dating; however, they are thought to have originated during the 13th century, around the time of forest clearings. This is purely theoretical, as the Easter Islanders may have felled a few trees specifically for the purpose of manufacturing the wooden tablets. One glyph resembles a palm tree and is likely to represent the Easter Island palm, which vanished from the island's pollen record around 1650, implying the script is at least that old. While it is uncertain what the Rongorongo is meant to represent, the discovery and examination of the tablets remain a crucial element in understanding Easter Island's former civilizations.
