The only reference to Jack The Ripper having hideouts is in the bestselling book Jack The Ripper:Case Closed by Patricia Cornwell. As pointed out in her book, Cornwell's favorite suspect artist Walter R. Sickert did have many little 'holes' that he rented over the years, the purpose for these hideouts remains a mystery. He sometimes would tell people they were studios where he could paint. Why he needed so many, sometimes several at the same time is unclear. The author puts forth the theory that these hideouts made a great escape for killer. It's an interesting point. Jack The Ripper had a knack for just disappearing without a trace. I doubt it is just coincedent that some of these holes were a stones throw from Whitechapel.
