I've read tons of theories on this case. The Aaron Kosminski theory seems plausible.

[Paleo Conservative]

Are the police in Britain normally this quick to solve murder cases?

[franksolich]

Well now, I've watched all this too.

I still think the artist did it, not this Polish guy.

[PzLdr]

I STILL like Druitt for it. Matched a description of a male coming out of Miter Square around the time Eddowes got whacked [and he was the spitting image of the Duke of Clarence]. Killed himself shortly after the Kelly homicide [last of the five credited to the Ripper].

[CurlyBill]

Not "leather apron?" LOL!

[Dreagon]

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle thought they should be looking for a woman. DNA samples taken from the back of a stamp on one of the letters believed to actually have been written by the Ripper, suggest he may have been right.

[BlackVeil]

I agree - also, he worked in the area, and previous to doing law, may have had medical training.

[PDR]

where was clinton when all this was going on? you can never be too sure...

[Larry Lucido]

Well, you know, they have to stop for tea every so often...

[Armigerous]

I have always thought that the Ripper was in fact a female member of the Royal Family in male attire using one of the carriages without the coat of arms from the Royal Mews...doing so out of a twisted sense of revenge for some nameless prostitute having infected the Duke of Clarence

[coconutt2000]

I hear they have a new suspect... George W. Bush and Karl Rove, tag teaming across time using their nifty time machine.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle thought they should be looking for a woman

What were the points about the case that lead him to suggest seeking a woman?

[Malesherbes]

It's a bit of a let-down. An insane barber did it. More interesting if it had been Professor Moriarty.

[Dreagon]

Doyle thought that it was odd how a usually suspicious person like a prostitute were letting this person so easily get close and alone with them while still on the street, and how easily the killer seemed to move through the streets while he should be spattered with blood. His theory was that it was a female abortionist. Somebody that the prostitutes would know and nobody would think twice about seeing bloody.

[Oztrich Boy]

Beat-up. Not a new clue (Google swanson marginalia)

And Kosminski doesn't seem reasonable They let him walk the steets a year and a half after they knew he was the Ripper?

Ans when they did confine him people would have to know the reason - police, doctors, staff at the mental hospital would have to be warned - that amounts to a lot of people over the 25 years he was confined. And nobody talked?

[Semi Civil Servant]

Col. Mustard, in the kitchen, with a knife.

[bruinbirdman]

There is no statute of limitations for murder. Reparations, the heirs of the victims are entitled to reparations from Aaron Kosminski's relatives. After all they tried for decades to keep the foul deeds a secret. The papers must be worth a fortune. Reparatiions, I say.
