The problem with these infamous old cold cases -- DB Cooper, Black Dahlia murder, Zodiac Killer, Jack the Ripper, others -- is that there isn't much in the way of evidence of any kind, which is why they weren't solved in the first place, and needless to say no new evidence. Also, none of the hobbyists who study and research are going to agree with one another, for a variety of reasons, so there will never be a generally accepted solution. If there were a diary that emerged with the exact details of the Jack the Ripper killings, and the author was known, and enough details of his (or her?) life known from other sources that he (or she?) could clearly be the killer, I'm convinced those with their pet suspects would never accept the identification, and spend the rest of their lives picking holes in it. :^) Scotlan Yard not only closed the case on the Ripper, the files are sealed, so only a very few vintage clues are available for study. The excuse given is, and get this, they don't want to endanger their network of informants.
Their network of informants.
The last of the Ripper murders was 129 years ago. The last informants have been dead probably 70 years or more.
Thanks RW.
Hmm...C-17 airspeed for airborne jump is about 150 mph but that’s with static line & the paratrooper runs out the door at an angle.
Wonder if ol’ D.B. did any research on windstream effect.
My remark about a diary got me thinking about it:

OK, OK, fine. You got it out of me. I am D B Cooper. Now get off my lawn.
I knew it was you, ever since that day I asked to borrow a bowtie and you couldn’t find one.
