Although opinions may differ I believe JTR is the most mysterious killer in the world. Over a century later the Ripper has become a household name. Zodiac and the Black Dahlia killer have their place in criminal history but none are as well known or as enduring as Saucy Jack.

Was Jack the Ripper a pseudonym?
"Jack the Ripper" is a pseudonym in that it is a false name which conceals the true identity of the person to whom it refers. However, in this case it would be more accurately described as a soubriquet, as it is a type of nickname imposed by someone other than the person to whom it refers. The murderer now generally referred to as "Jack the Ripper" was originally known as "The Whitechapel Murderer". An letter signed "Jack the Ripper", purportedly written by the killer, was sent to the press during the series of murders and the press latched onto it as a suitably dramatic name by which to refer to the murderer. There is no evidence to conclusively prove that the author of the letter signed "Jack the Ripper" was in fact the murderer, and the police, press and others received hundreds of letters purportedly written by the murderer over this period.

After the 1889 murder of Alice McKenzie, an intoxicated William Wallace Brodie walked into a police station and declared that he was Jack the Ripper. However, there is proof that he was sailing to South Africa on September 6, 1888. He didn't return to England until July 15, 1889, which means he couldn't have killed four of the canonical five, which means he was not the murderer we know as Jack the Ripper.
