Unfortunately, the killer known as Jack The Ripper has become a legend. He is by far the most infamous serial killer of all time. The fact that he was never caught lends an air of mystery about him. This single killer has inspired books, movies, Ripper walks, and Ripper websights, and the interest seems to grow with each passing year.
I think it is very sad that he is remembered, yet his victims seem almost inconsequential to the public. In the 1990's headstones were finally placed on the graves of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride and Mary Kelly, a long overdue memorial to the women that had the misfortune to cross paths with Jack The Ripper.
Still unsolved.
That is unknown because it is not known for sure who Jack the Ripper was. The question of his profile is still asked today.
Nobody knows who Jack the Ripper was.
There is a museum that claims to have the knife of Jack The Ripper. If you 'read the fine print' you will find that it is not the knife used by the Ripper. There was never a weapon recovered in this case. In what remains of autopsy reports of the Ripper's victims it can't even be determined as to the exact type and size of the knife used.
The case was never solved. Everybody loves a mystery so the crimes have achieved an almost mythical quality. Had the murders been solved in the 1880's the Ripper's crimes would barely be remembered. There are actually people that earn their living from these murders. There are several Jack The Ripper walks not to mention the countless books written and many movies made about this fiend. If the killer was revealed their livelyhoods would be compromised. So it seems to work better when he Ripper remains unknown.
