Jack The Ripper was the name of a 19th century seial killer murdering prostitutes in London's poverty-stricken east end. Everybody had their own idea of who the murderer was. Some involved with the case wrote about the crimes and gave their own opinion as to the identity of the Ripper, probably none were right. He was probably someone not even suspected, and carried out his crimes under the noses of Scotland Yard. For a killer of this sort, taunting the police was part of the fun.
