Message: <blockquote data-quote="teitan" data-source="post: 446146" data-attributes="member: 3457">There are annotated comments on one of the lead investigators memoirs. The annotations were made by one of the other investigators, though I do not recall the title of the book, someone borrowed my copy of it and the video from TLC that came out when From Hell came out. Anyway, at just about every point the main author comments to the effect of "we never discovered the Ripper's identity" the commentor writes, "we knew it all along, it was Kosminski". Some RIpper researches actually had the FBI forensics office do a profile on the RIpper and then compared the profile to the top 4 suspects and the only person the profile fit was a man named Kosminski.They had a witness as well, but this witness wouldn't testify because he was Jewish and the man he saw murder one of the girls was a well known eccentric that happened to be Jewish. The witness said "I will not have the blood of another Jew on my hands". This made it impossible for the police to nab Kosminski because in that day they had to have a witness to get a charge to stick. There wasn't much of a forensic science to speak of at the time. The police followed Kosminski for weeks and the murders stopped completely. EVentually Kosminski was placed into a mental home by his family. The man was violently hostile to women and suffered from psychotic episodes. Classic serial killer personality in retrospect. Before I forget, Kosminski's full name was Aaron Kosminski. The ripper is something of a favorite of mine.</blockquote>
