because he was never caught and nobody knew who he was, and he was really brutal
//'Best' is not exactly the right word for Jack The Ripper. 'Infamous' better describes the work of the unknown serial killer of Victorian-era London. The Ripper is probably the most recognized serial killer of all time for several reasons. His crimes were some of the most brutal in criminal history, not content to cut his victim's throats, but to disembowel and mutilate them, some almost beyond recognition. The fact that the killer was never caught lends the air of mystery to the killer and his crimes. Had he been discovered he may have been forgotten except to professionals who study murder. It would have put an end to the conspiracy theories and some of the more outlandish myths that have surfaced through the years. And lastly, JTR was the first serial killer to have his crimes played out in the press. The publicity surrounding his crimes was enormous, not just locally but world wide. Especially Americans, who could barely wait the two weeks it took for British newspapers to arrive by ship. These are the reasons that have made Jack The Ripper a household name, and without a doubt, synonymous with evil.
