mine came, ANNIE, Will be and the picture of the church.

So far then we have pictures of:
The Four Jacks
Tower Bridge
An unidentified church
A rusty bit of metal.

and on the back:
Dear Boss letter & Who are not
LIZ & Blamed for
ANNIE & Will be
The men & That

[SPEC] I think if we can identify the church and the bit of metal they may be strong clues. My thoughts on the other two are 4 jacks = 4 fiends, and when I think of Tower Bridge I think of Jack the Ripper for some reason. For the back I guess we need to piece them together.

It makes me think of Jack the Ripper also but there are no actual links between them. I believe that Jack the Ripper is featured in the Tower of London (which can just about be seen in the photo), but again there are no actual links between him and the Tower. I have been researching Tower Bridge and the Tower of London but nothing relevant has jumped out at me yet. I have also been researching London Bridge because people are always getting it mixed up with Tower Bridge.

I'll have a go at identifying that church.

Has anyone had a close look at the envelope? I have the usual red dotted lines on the front, but there is something similar on the back in orange that looks like it is drawn on with a crayon. It is probably normal but is just looks a little different to the usual marks.

I got the same as Shady. Maybe we should count how many times each picture and message has been recieved inn addition to what it is?

I also received a photo today. Picture was of Tower Bridge, taken from the south bank, and on the back was "Who are not" and the Dear Boss letter.

Just thought I'd let everyone know, as I had not seen that combination reported yet.

Good catch with the dear boss letter, i had missed that.
I think we are on to something with Jack the Ripper. Also one of his victims was called Annie Chapman.
There was some graffiti found that has been attributed to Jack the Ripper but there are some different accounts as to what the graffiti actualy said.
The most common version is:
Quote:

The Juwes are the men That Will not be Blamed for nothing.

And another is:
Quote:

The Juwes are not The men That Will be Blamed for nothing.

Sounds very similar to the messages we have been sent.

Check out the link for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper

My card had the slightly different message "The men That" but this can also be linked to Jack The Ripper.

The picture on the front is of Jacks (playing cards) and from memory the graffitti he was supposed to have left on a wall at the site of one his victims started "........the men that will not be blamed ........."

So if we can find some link to the rusty metal with DYER on it, and the church then it's confirmed, but it looks pretty certain so far...

The rusty metal could just be pointing us towards the graffiti found in the Jack the Ripper case. The church may not need to be identified, i think it is a puzzle. It is a picture of a white chapel and the Jack the Ripper murders took place in the Whitechapel area of London.

also, they are photos that were sent. the date of processing is 11/22/06 fugifilm paper. the dots on liz were printed on, the liz and blamed for appear to be a rubber stamp.
