Just seen they believe they've found the real Jack the Ripper. I have to say I'm personally a bit disappointed in this, same as if someone ever caught Nessie or a Yeti, I prefer the romance and mystique of an ever endruing mystery. But, hey, that's maybe just me.
Anyway, apparantly...
JACK THE RIPPER IDENTIFIED THROUGH 100% DNA MATCH
A breakthrough in forensic history—historian Russell Edwards claims Jack the Ripper has been identified as Aaron Kosminski, a Polish barber and long-time suspect, after a 100% DNA match.
The match was made using a shawl found at the scene of Catherine Eddowes’ 1888 murder.
Kosminski’s great-great-grandniece provided the DNA sample, confirming the link.
Legal teams are now pushing for a formal inquest to name him the killer in court.
A mystery that baffled experts for 136 years may finally be solved.

"Not sure I'd put Jack the ripper in the same category as yeti and nessie.
Yeti and nessie = cute and cuddly. Jack the ripper not so much"
Who has found Nessie or Yeti and risked a cuddle ?  |

I suspect he's not bothered on the account of being dead. |

Maybe all Jack wanted was a cuddle???
A Yeti cuddle might be alright, bit like cuddling a Wookie - but - a massive prehistoric marine creature from an ice cold Scottich loch??? I ain't cuddling that! |

I always experience a twinge of sadness whenever an enduring, historical world mystery is theoretically solved by science.
The Dyatlov Pass incident for instance…
- Not a rampaging Yeti nor a Russian military cover up but rather a wholly and sadly, far more mundane explanation ☹️

Has been a subject which has fascinated me for years. I've seen various documentaries, articles and books (including Russell Edwards') which pointed to Aaron Kosminski as the most likely suspect. |

A very good example. The people who started the Nessie story all admitted it was a hoax but the newspapers shelved that bit as the idea there was a Nessie was far more lucrative for them and the local tourist industry.
Plus, lets admit it, we ALL have a little look for Nessie if ever visiting gorgous Loch Ness! |

Way to late so I honestly don't know why they feel the need to solve it now
There must be hundreds of cold cases that the polices should be trying to solve
Don't get me wrong what happened all them women was horrific, vile and should have been solved at the time are atleast while family members where still living so they could have had justice |

Absolutely it does. The macabre will always hold a huge fixation, the more grisly the crimes the more scrutiny it will get and the "romantic folklore" will prevail.
But I, and I'm sure all reading, do get your very valid point you make. |

They will sell it to the highest bidder, simple as that. Such as Netflix thrive on material such as this.
Sadly the suffering of some can be the profits of others. |

"I've not seen the fuller details but it sounds more like a possible connection to one woman, rather than him and many victims. This potentially not a complete blockbuster mystery solved "
Just having a look and the school of thought seems to be the same as how most other serial killers get caught and that is the unique but completely simillar details that link all the murders. Without getting too grisly Jack killed and gutted his victims in a certain style and way. Giving the very liklihood it was the same killer each time.
I guess we might never know. Plus was there more than one Jack the Ripper? Its of course a possiblity so you may be right. |

Was Jack a man or a woman dressed as a man, the shawl could be coincidental or deliberately placed or borrowed / st@len by the killer/s.
We leave our DNA everywhere we go. If say they found a semen match then OK.
But if it's based on a few hairs then I'm less convinced.
I read somewhere the identity was revealed scribbled in a book by Walter Sickert, which was destroyed decades later but the Police were already aware of. A Soldier who had a grudge against the Queens army for being dismissed for inappropriate behaviour, he lived on Percy Street. Hence the rumours it had a royal connection he was trying to frame a royal and embarass the royal family as revenge.
The name David Stanley a gaurdsman based in Aldershot. Possibly related to the pensioner friend of Annie Chapman she let on that a member of Royal family visited the area for entertainment or recieved ladies at a secret address, this knowledge got to David Stanley, he may have been privy to their conversations and gossip. Also senior members of his regiment frequented the area for fun. He then plotted and executed it for revenge on the regiment and Royal family.
He even bumped into a policeman as leaving the scene of one murder.
I personally cannot prove this, only the police know the details.
I think there were more killers involved.
No doubt new evidence will keep popping up in future of other suspects.

At what point is it acceptable to make a serial killer a tourist attraction? I see there are Jack The Ripper tours in London but I bet if you set up a Harold Shipman tour some people would get mardy about it. |

The shawl wasn't recorded by the police. As such, it was not kept forensically sealed and it's been contaminated forever since. Wouldn't stand a second in court before being dismissed.
A ruse to help to sell your wares |

As I said in a reply earlier the macabre will always sell. And be used to market for effective financial gain.
I've been in quite a few pubs in Yorkshire that proudly market the fact Dick Turpin was once their customer. They even made a kid's TV show where Turpin was the hero. But lets just remember this was a man who could only afford a couple of muskets later in his career to make people "Stand and deliver". For most of his time he had a pair of meat cleavers as his weapons, and he used them many times. To say he was not a very nice man is putting it mildly!
Its like you say though where do you draw the line?
PS - I actually met Dr Harold Shipman once. He was one of my best mate's GP for a while when he lived in GeeCross nr Hyde, Gtr Manchester. He was out doing his rounds and saw me just parking up and asked me if some roadworks had finished yet as he was planning his next journey. Did I realise this man would later be convicted as one of the (if not THE) most prolific serial killers in history? I did not, no. |

Yeah, I think trying to get all this ratified in court is going to be a huge uphill struggle for them. |

As someone who us quite dark on here I do find the obsession for murderers quite a strange one. I've seen loads of ads for the serial killer exhibition and people raving about it. I do find it a bit ghoulish. Why do people feel the need to see these horrors. But then I feel the same way about concentration camps tours. Some things should not be touted for entertainment in my opinion anyway. |

I agree but the historic value is evident.
Like a crash rubberneckers curiosity.
Also it's the immersal experience I suppose.
