Investigation techniques were at birth in those times. There was no fingerprinting, shoe sole printing and no DNA analisys.
He got away with murder. That't it.
Jack the Ripper was never caught because forensics and police detection was not advanced enough to apprehend a criminal such as the Ripper. He was also very lucky.
His ability to blend in and his knowledge of the East End streets.
Unfortunately, when Jack The Ripper gave himself the famous moniker he knew exactly what he was talking about. The ripper in JTR means precisely that. After cutting his victim's throats, he proceeded to rip open their abdomines and disembowl them. With only one exception, Elizabeth Stride, he was interrupted so her body was left intact, with just a cut throat. But within the hour, less than a mile away he caught Katherine Eddows unaware, she got the full Ripper treatment. Her face was almost unrecognizable when he was finished. Since the imfamous east end killer there have been other rippers. Peter Sutcliffe was the Yorkshire Ripper, Danny Rollin was the Gainsville Ripper, but Jack The Ripper did it first and was able to evade capture, which is part of the reason that people are still facinated by this killer.
Jack the Ripper was never caught. No one knows who he was. //Sir William Gull, physician ordinary to the Queen, most certainly was not Jack The Ripper. At the time of the Ripper muders, Dr. Gull was well into his 70's and had just previously suffered a dibiliating stroke that left him partially paralized. He was not a suspect at the time of the murders and to think that he committed these crimes is ridiculous.//
Only 5 murders and he vanished away. Maybe he choosed Whitechapel for a stay for a one year.
This was one of the most puzzling aspects of the Ripper case. With each murder, witnesses would testify about the man that just 'strolled' right by them. Whomever the Ripper really was, he was most definitely comfortable in the streets and alleyways of London's East End. That does not mean that he lived there but he had to have been very familiar with Whitechapel. One thing is for sure, he did not panic. He kept his head, even when he was just seconds ahead of discovery after the murder of Elizabeth Stride. She was the first in what has come to be known as the "double header". Less than an hour after Stride's murder (no mutilation) Katherine Eddows was murdered and then mutilated a mile from the first crime scene. Experts agree that because the Ripper was interrupted while killing Stride, he needed to kill Eddows to fulfill his need. I think this is the most accurate theory. There is no doubt that JTR was lucky. Sometimes that's all you need. He had nerve, luck, and was able to stay ahead of the law only because forensics were for the most part, nonexistant.
Jack was never aprehended. A letter received by the police says that the family locked him away at home. Jack also could be a merchant marine. He was only 72 days in whitechapel in his killings. Serial killers do not take a retirement and not so soon.
i DO think that he is dead. If you have common sense, You'll know that someone who was estimated anywhere from 30-35 in the late 1880's isn't alive today. That would be about 131 years from today. Though, we don't know much about him, Don't say my answers aren't accurate, cause no one has ever really figured it out. Way to go Jack:) One of the best unidentified murders of all time
Yea, killers are real. They are either getting away with murdering adults or children of any age {without any eye witness'} or being held captive in life behind bars. (prison.)
