He was never caught. There were some suspects but no one knows for sure.
Did you see the movie Time After Time. If not, watch it. Maybe that's what happened to him.
Not really...but there are volumes of work dedicated to people's educated guesses.
S/he was never caught.
Um, Jack the Ripper was never found. NO ONE knows who he is.
It was meee!
q
It's suspected he was a doctor. The royal physician, IIRC.
Another, somewhat odd, JTR movie was Time After Time.
THE SHORT ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS NO,there are many theories but no one has come forward with a satisfactory answer ,yet
he was never caught, so there has only ever been speculation. It is thought, that unlike in 'From Hell', he was not an educated man, but was poor and lower class. However, the mutilations were performed in a way that suggested they must have been carried out by someone who had surgical knowledge. There are conflicted views on it.
No one knows. That is why everyone is obsessed. It is an unsolved mystery. But he was a serial killer in the 1800's that was killling in England and they said possibly even France at one point.
There are a lot of people who have tried to solve the case over the years and put up good arguments.
List of suspects:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ri...
However, no one has ever been identified, tried, charged or caught as the actual Jack the Ripper. Despite the fact that of the hundreds of letter written to the London Police, at least three sets of letters are deemed to be authentic and possible written from the Ripper him/herself. However, none of them provide any real clues to the identity of the killer.
One of the greatest mysteries of the 19th (and consequently 20th and 21st) centuries.
One of the most infamous alleged Jack the Ripper quotes: "Men will look back at this age and say that I gave birth to the 20th century." Look and the violence that ensued in the 20th century, and tell me how accurate he really was. Creepy!
No one knows, nor is it likely that we will ever find out. Some of the Scotland Yard suspects were Montague Druitt, Aaron Kosminski, and Michael Ostrog. None of those were considered very plausible. Popular suspects named are George Chapman and Walter Sickert. I did a report on the crimes last year in my composition class and came across a really good site that you can research some of the suspects....really very interesting stuff
Jack the Ripper was never caught, but there was one very supiciuos person who lived where all the muders came from, but he was never convicted. That why we have finger prints and other things CSI uses today here or some letters he/she wrote
The original 'Dear Boss' letter send to the Central News Agency on 27 September 1888
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha.ha. The next job I do I shall clip. The lady's ears off and send to the Police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work then give it out straight. My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance.
Good luck.
Yours truly
Jack the Ripper
Don't mind me giving the trade name
Then on the same letter, written horizontally was the following message:
wasn't good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it. No luck yet. They Say I'm a doctor. now ha_ha
The editor treated the letter as a hoax and did not send it to the police for a couple of days. The night after the police finally received the letter, Liz Stride and Kate Eddowes were murdered. On Monday morning following the murders, the Central News Agency received another letter postmarked October 1 in the same handwriting as the September 25 letter:
The second Jack the Ripper communication, the 'Saucy Jacky' postcard of 1 October 1888
I wasn't codding dear old Boss when I gave you the tip. youll hear about saucy Jackys work tomorrow double event this time number one squealed a bit couldn't finish straight off. had not time to get ears for police thanks for keeping last letter back till I got to work again.
Jack the Ripper
Police circulated the letters around and placed facsimiles of them outside every police station in case someone recognized the handwriting. Nothing came of this effort except a number of crank letters.
The third important letter was sent on October 16 to George Lusk, who was the head of the Mile End Vigilance Committee. This time the letter was sent with a portion of a human kidney. Lusk was extremely upset. One of the other committee members felt sure that it was an animal organ preserved in wine, so they took the kidney to Dr. Thomas Openshaw at the London Hospital to examine. Much was published on what Dr. Openshaw allegedly said about the kidney, which he repudiated later. All that can be certain of what Dr. Openshaw really established was that it was a human adult kidney, which was preserved in spirits rather than in formalin, such as what was used in hospitals for specimens.
The letter that accompanied the kidney was not written by the author of the two earlier letters signed Jack the Ripper.
From hell
Mr Lusk
Sor

Catch me when
You can
Mishter Lusk
Are any of these three letters from the real murderer? Philip Sugden presents the case against the first two letters, which are signed Jack the Ripper, being genuine even though they appear to present information that only the killer might know.
First, the claim that he will send the police the victim's ears. This was never done. While it is true that Kate Eddowes' one ear lobe was severed, the killer had plenty of time, as evidenced by his extensive mutilations of her body, to cut off both her ears and send them to the police.
Secondly, the forecast of the double event has been promoted as a reason to accept the letters as genuine. However, the letter, whether it was posted from the Eastern District on Sunday night, September 31, or on Monday, October 1, was written when the entire Eastern region of the city was abuzz about the double murder. It was well known on the streets all of Sunday. So there was nothing forecast whatsoever.
Thirdly, the claim that Liz Stride squealed a bit is not proven. Only one of several witnesses heard a woman cry out. Most witnesses heard nothing at all that night.
Sir Charles Warren
Sir Charles Warren, who headed up the London police, shared this view. So do his modern day counterparts, John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, "It's too organized, too indicative of intelligence and rationale thought, and far too 'cutesy.' An offender of this type would never think of his actions as 'funny little games' or say that his 'knife's so nice and sharp.'"
The Lusk letter is more difficult to assess. Dr. Openshaw indicated that the kidney belonged to a person suffering from Bright's Disease which, according to testimony given by Dr. Brown, the police surgeon, apparently afflicted Kate Eddowes. The possibility remains that the letter is genuine and the kidney was the victim's, but there is no way to prove it today.
There are speculations as to who Jack really was, but the truth is that there wasn't enough evidence left behind/collected at the time of the crimes, and they also didn't have very many suspects. I don't think that we'll even know who he really was...he'll live on in infamy forever!
