My original assumption about who Jack the Ripper was turned out to be wrong, sadly. Therefore, any information stated in the video is likely wrong—please do not refer to my video as a source in the future.

The actual identity of Jack the Ripper was Aaron Kosminski.

I have, however, updates the article on this page to reflect the actual news.


The Century Old Mystery June 04, 2024

In the fall of 1888, London's East End saw one of the most gruesome serial killings. Destitute weomen in the East End had found themselves having to fear for their lives as the police desperately tried to catch the notorious serial killer known as Jack the Ripper.

CASE STATUS:SOLVED

While marked as solved, I sadly didn't actually do any of the proper/true solving. More on this below.

Each murder thought to have been performed by Jack the Ripper took place on a holiday or on a weekend day. This may tell us that the Ripper had a full-time job. Furthermore—although debated—the Ripper seemed to have somewhat of an understanding of human anatomy, seeing as a lot of people at the time stated that each cut was performed by someone who seemed to know what they were doing.

Additionally, the way the Ripper killed the women was needlessly ferocious; Almost all of them recieved major cuts and mutilations, with some of them having some of their organs removed, and occasionally missing entirely.

Originally, I stated here who I thought Jack the Ripper truly was. As it turns out, I was wrong. The true identity of Jack the Ripper is Aaron Kosminski.

I forgot to mention that Jack the Ripper only targeted prostitutes.
Clarification for:

There were—and still are—many people who say Jack the Ripper must've had some sort of anatomical knowledge due to the precision of the cuts along the organs. However, there are also many who say the killer did not possess any sort of anatomical knowledge.
