Tell me everything you can about Jack the Ripper... Why was he never caught?

I have watched all the shows and read quite a few books. associatedcontent.com/article/232797/the... However... one book in particular has convinced me that a top suspect would be Walter Sickert. Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper -- Case Closed by Patricia Cornwell amazon.com/Portrait-Killer-Jack-Ripper-C... After I read this book, I was convinced that it wasn't Aaron Kosminski, or the pathetic and sad Price Albert.

This book is awesome and a truly great read! Get it Stephen! I would highly recommend reading that book, or if you don't have time (being Daddy n' all) ... I found a great dissertation done based on the evidence that was gathered for the book.

http://www.casebook.org/dissertations/caseclosed.html Why was he never caught? I would chalk this one up to a mixture of the media having a field day with suspicions and leaking evidence, bumbling police officers and an unorganized team... along with politics of London at the time. This case brought to light the fact the money wasn't spread equally around the city when it came certain basic necessities (proper lighting and police protection to name just a few).

Also, police at this time didn't have the grasp they do today on criminal behavior, and fingerprinting was the only forensics known at the time... and it was in its infancy. http://www.bigsiteofamazingfacts.com/how-was-fingerprinting-invented-and-when It's sad that the evidence to test on today has degraded so much or just plain disappeared from Scotland Yard, that it will never be proven 100%. What makes me happy is knowing that something like this could never happen again today and go unpunished.

Thank you forensics! *below is TMZ circa 1888.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
