Who was he? just saw that it's still "mysterious"...

Very interesting story... although only "5 deaths"...

cannot edit poll anymore, but i should had added a "he's just a myth" option..

Since I believe they will never find out who he/she/they really were, it's sort of pointless to ask 'whodunit'?

If your interested, here is a site that has twenty-five 'possible' suspects and motives. There are no graphic pictures on the link I am posting (not sure about the rest of the site).

Read an interesting book recently about it by Patricia Cromwell. She seems to have found evidence pointing to Walter Sickert, an artist of the area.

And much of the 'evidence' she found certainly makes me believe it was him.

"Portrait of a Killer" is the name, and it's very interesting.

Yeah... he does sound like he at least knew more about it than anyone. If you read 'The Royal Conspiracy' on that page he is in it also. I haven't read about every suspect... I am by no means an expert on this.

"From Hell" is a great movie about Jack the Ripper.

Just a reminder, I DESPISE heather graham, she's ugly as hell and always try to look like a teen (even though she's 30+)

Uh... No I don't read glasses thanks. The part about who the movie says is Jack the Ripper.
