So They Found Out Who Jack The Ripper Was
 
It was a Polish immigrant called....can't remember now began with K......but apparently they kind of knew this anyway but didn't convict him because he was Jewish and there was a lot of anti-semitism around at the time. If they did convict him there would have been a lot violence erupting because of this.

Lurker 07.13.2006 11:03 AM

Um, no. There was about 4 suspects. Some notes from the original investigation were found and these showed that this guy did it.

They've discovered "for sure" many times over the last few years who he was. Even Patricia Cornwell had a go. In truth, nobody will ever know this long after. Even a note saying "I did it" would be suspect. It's fun to speculate though. Bit like the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot.

i'm Jack the Ripper and so is my wife.

There was a lad named Kosminski, i think it was, that has been fairly high on the list for years, but I remember hearing a very convincing case put forward against an American doctor called Fracis Tumbelty, I just can't remeber exacty how it went.

Recently, a friend who is deeply interested in such matters sent me a link to a Jack The Ripper website. It's a very interesting site indeed, as it happens - check out the link to the suspects in particular.

I'm glad they've decided who he was. It gets me off the hook at last.
