Jack the Ripper identity finally solved?

If you look at the body of work, Jack the Ripper was just an amateur when it comes to serial murderers. I watched the documentaries on Dahmer, Gacy and the Night Stalker in the last couple of years. There's evil at its peak.
I watched the HBO docuseries about Patton Oswalt’s late wife…who was posthumously instrumental in solving the decades old mystery of the “Golden State Killer.” I recommend it, link at bottom.
Modern DNA technology is a serial killer’s worst nightmare. And it should be something that AI helps immensely with.
I’ll Be Gone In The Dark
Based on a single shawl found at the scene of one of his murders?
Seems pretty sketchy.
Who knows, maybe there’s more to the full story.

Yep. Pedro Lopez, Andreii Chikatilo, some of these guys had body counts in the hundreds.
Lopez had 110 confirmed kills, all young girls between 8 and 12.
It's actually not even new research. Just a new publication of prior work. Experts are skeptical, although the suspect named has been one of the main suspects since the murders happened. I think one of the original detectives on the case wrote that he thought this was the guy.
Didn't the 101st airborne have a unit that went by the night stalkers? My (at that time) Brother in law was in it. Corksucker sent me home after every family gathering "showing" me new hand to hand combat torture techniques. They didn't kill me, but I was wishing they would have. That would have showed him ! LOL
Of course the reason they finally couldn't convict him, his name is Aaron and not Jack. If they had only been searching for Aaron the Ripper.
After 4 years at IU Bloomington, I was 3 hours short of graduating. I had already accepted a job and was ready to beginning working, but needed one class.
IUPUI had a class that met Monday evenings from 6-9 each week on serial killers. It was fascinating.
Each week, the 3 hour class consisted of a 2 hour film and a flimsy 10 question quiz at the end. I am pretty sure my dogs could have passed the quiz, at least one of them.
I don’t recall all 6 we “studied” but I think Son of Sam, Hillside Strangler, Ted Bundy, etc were included.
Not sure what I learned out of that class, other than it takes a very specific, evil individual to become a serial killer.

I'm listening to a podcast on Israel Keys.
That dude was on another level... burying "kill caches" (his kill kit supplies) for sometimes a year or two before being used.
Yup--pretty sure the that everyone who touched the file thought Kosminski was a rotten egg and likely the guy. Melville Macnaghten (a constable at the time), wrote that Kosminski was "a Polish Jew, & resident in Whitechapel. This man became insane owing to many years indulgence in solitary vices. He had a great hatred of women, especially of the prostitute class, & had strong homicidal tendencies; he was removed to a lunatic asylum about March 1889"
In 1910, Robert Anderson, the assistant commissioner throughout the murders wrote "undiscovered murders are rare in London, and the "Jack-the-Ripper" crimes are not in that category...I will merely add that the only person who had ever had a good view of the murderer unhesitatingly identified the suspect the instant he was confronted with him; but he refused to give evidence against him...In saying that he was a Polish Jew I am merely stating a definitely ascertained fact..."
And no, the Ripper is not HH Holmes...... 😉
160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment---but not incorrect to say the 101st, as it birthed the Nightstalker group. I could be mistaken, but I think the establishment of this regiment was a direct result of the failed rescue attempt of the hostages in Iran.
