The Identity of the Serial Killer Jack the Ripper Will Never be Truly Discovered

The unidentified man named Jack the ripper has traumatized the city of London for almost a decade. It is said that the real identity was never discovered by the police which may be labeled as police negligence. The forensic department of police conducted many tests and researches upon this unknown yet vicious predator who hunts on multiple female victims. Many claims were made that this notorious man is 23-year-old barber Kosminski but geneticists revealed that the claims made by the forensic team cannot be true (Adam 1).

The forensic team formulated their results based on evidence which they were able to collect but according to geneticists, those were not enough evidence to generate results of those series of hideous crimes. The only source of evidence from the crime scene was the shawl of the victim on which some semen traces were found. The police department then further researched the sole piece of evidence and found similarities to their prior suspect Kosminski. (Shapiro 1).

The research which is considered authentic to date was conducted by Jari Louhelainen and David Miller. According to them, the stain traces were collected from the victim’s shawl and were tested in a laboratory that manifests the same results as of the police department that the stain traces have striking similarities with police prime suspects (Jari Louhelainen 2). This was not the first time when Kosminski was associated with this series of crimes. The main reasons which were then given by the police department were the physical appearance which was somehow detected by them which included dark brown eyes and brown hair. Also, Kosminski found inhabited 200 yards from the place where one of the victims was found dead. These clauses were based on the investigation carried out by the police department to formulate their never-ending investigation of this case. These speculations were considered as fortified by police to suppress the fact that they were unable to catch the real culprit.

As per all researches from the day of crime occurrence to date, it is still uncertain that either the prime suspect of police is the actual killer or all these are propositions. Jack Ripper was a serial killer with extremely enhanced instincts of killing which made it impossible for the police to find out the actual culprit behind all this chaos. This crime can be analyzed both ways firstly, the malefactor can be believed as immensely crafty that he leaves no trace behind or it can be assumed as negligence on the part of the police that they were very incompetent that led to the killings of innocent victims just for the leisure of the felon.

The most genuine postulation considers Kosminski as the serial killer behind all these horrendous crimes. Multiple research was carried out to resolve this case but every investigation came to a dead-end and police had to start all over again. It was assumed that this series of crimes will end when the assailant will die. Other than that there was no way out of this felony. Later, researches also formulated their propositions that Jack Ripper could be a woman or maybe some other man who had been missed out from the sight of the police. Some other critics have also highlighted that the shawl which was the sole evidence of the crime was never found a place of murder.

Taking everything into account, this mysterious man who brutally took multiple innocent lives is still a mystery to the world. The question is who was Jack Ripper and how he gets away with his horrific crimes from the clutches of the police and became an everlasting mystery. Thus, Kosminski (Jack the Ripper) left many unanswered questions behind him that deserve to be answered.
