But is Jack the Ripper real?

The "Jack the Ripper" murders did indeed take place between August and November 1888. The Ripper did exist, though over the years a great deal of myth and legend has grown up around the basic facts of the case. These myths have been perpetuated in books and movies for over a century now, to the point where they have all but enveloped the brutal reality of the original crimes. But the answer is yes, the Ripper did exist.

How many weeks did the Jack the Ripper murders last?

Most historians agree that the "Jack The Ripper" murders happened between August and November, 1888.However, it is impossible to ascertain which murders in Whitechapel during 1888 and 1889 are actually attributable to "Jack the Ripper" and there is conjecture that the Ripper may have killed previously and/or gone on to murder women later (most theories suggest this was in Boston or elsewhere in the northeastern USA).The earliest murder usually associated with Jack the Ripper is that of Emma Smith on April 2, 1888. However, it is now generally considered that the facts of this case do not match with the characteristics of the definite Jack the Ripper cases. There were several non-fatal attacks on women early in 1888 which may potentially fit with the Ripper's modus operandii.The earliest likely Ripper murder is that of Martha Tabram, on the night of 6-7 August 1888. While Tabram is not a "canonical" Ripper victim, the facts of her murder are consistent with a killer who would go on to commit the Ripper murder-mutilations.The canonical (or widely accepted) Ripper victims are:1. Mary Ann (or "Polly") Nicholls, 31 August 1888.2. Annie Chapman, 8 September 1888.3. Elizabeth Stride, 30 September 1888.4. Catherine Eddowes, 30 September 1888.5. Mary Jane Kelly, 9 November 1888.The following three murders have also been attributed by some sources to the Ripper:1. Rose Mylett, 20 December 1888.2. Alice McKenzie, 17 July 1889.3. Frances Coles, 13 February 1891.However, there are various features of each case which make any connection with the Ripper cases dubious.In addition, there were two mutilated female torsos discovered in the vicinity, one on 2 October 1888 in Whitehall and one on 10 September 1889 in Whitechapel. Some commentators link these to Jack the Ripper.

How many years did they research Jack The Ripper?

This is very difficult to answer because you did not specify who 'they' were. I'll take a guess that you mean Scotland Yard. Actually, the Jack The Ripper case is still an open case and since 1888 many people have tried to discover who the killer was. Scotland Yard stayed with the case at least until the early 1890's. I'm sure it was a great disapointment to the Yard for their failure to catch the Ripper.


How did Jack the Ripper help the popularity of Sherlock Holmes?

Sherlock Holmes was introduced in A Study in Scarlet (1887), followed by The Sign of Four in 1890, but didn't really take hold of the public's imagination until Strand magazine, newly founded in 1891, published a series of short stories called "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." From that point on the public couldn't get enough of Holmes and his always reliable confidant, John H. Watson, a retired military doctor. During the 71 days in 1888 that Jack the Ripper killed 5 prostitutes in Whitechapel, the police did not have the detective skills that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about in his Sherlock Holmes stories. This made Sherlock Holmes the hero in those days.
