No, because it was a conspiracy.

Not if his game was tight. Let's keep it 100, Grim Sleeper, the serial killer in Los Angeles, killed more women than Jack The Ripper. He damn near coulda got away. They only caught him cuz the dna from his son linked the popo to him. The serial killer BTK killed more than the Ripper. He got caught cuz his stupid ass decided after 25 years he wants to resurface. Zodiac Killer was never caught. DC Snipers caught them damn selves by being stupid. Prostitutes have always been an easy kill.

While modern identification techniques and computerized records would exponentially increase the chances of catching a Jack today, it is by no means certain that he would be...witness the number of famous murder cases in the past forty years which have turned cold.

@ImJstMe1 Sutcliffe was caught by chance, not by any of the forensic evidence. The boot of his car was inspected by a passing police officer (I think!) and the boot contained all the tools of his trade! he had been interviewed numerous times and always he wasn't really suspected. Also the phoney tape did nothing to help the case and threw them off track.

This video fails to point out that Because the message was removed before being coppied down or photographed the big debackle is whether it read "the jues are not the men that will be blamed for nothing " or " the jues are not the men tht will NOT be blamed for nothing" which have two diferent meanings. it was removed because of the high anti semitic feelings that were a social fact of the 1880s.

From what I have read about the ripper case there was very little evidence to go on, crime scenes were not preserved back then, two different police forces were involved with no means of working together and even today after many eminent people have studied the case in great depth no one has solved it.

i dont think theres much doubt that if the ripper murders happened today he would definitely be caught, actually it did happen the yorkshire ripper peter sutcliffe was the very same as jack the ripper he killed prostitutes in savage attacks although he did kill a lot more women but he was eventually caught
