The one fact that stays constant is there has never been a shortage of suspects. In retrospect there where very few that could be classified as serious suspects. The detectives that worked the case had their own favorites, as did most English citizens. John Pizer, aka Leather Apron, was one of the earliest 'person of interest' to detectives. Pizer was almost a victim of vigilante justice. Angry mobs wanted his head in a noose long before a fair trial occured. Aaron Kozminski fell under suspicion but he was not available for several of the murders due to confinement in an asylum for the mentally ill. Others were Michael Ostrog and Montegue John Druitt.
In the hundred plus years since the Ripper walked the streets of Whitechapel, the list of possible killers numbers in the hundreds. From doctors to furriers to butchers or the theory of a Jill The Ripper, to a member of the royal family. Unfortunatly, the vast majority of these have not stood the test of time.

Was James Kelly Jack the Ripper?
James Kelly has recently surfaced as a Ripper suspect. Unfortuneatly, when suspects are investigated for these crimes the person investigating relies on previous inaccuracies which in turn makes for faulty conclusions. James Kelly is one such suspect. Jack The Ripper's crimes did not stop after the murder of Mary Kelly in November 1888, and in all likelyhood Mary Ann Nichols was not the first victim. The detectives that worked the case were well aware of these facts. As time goes on many of these inaccuracies are taken as fact making the truth that much harder to discern.

Montague Druitt was a suspect in the Jack the Ripper case because he fit the profile of a potential suspect: he was a doctor, mentally unstable, and had committed suicide shortly after the murders stopped. However, there is not enough concrete evidence linking him to the crimes, and his suicide may have been unrelated.
