Sadly, this is the end of Ripper Real Time for this year. But. Next year Ripper Real Time will be back to follow the events of Jack the Ripper as they unfold in real time. I would like to thank you for being part of Ripper Real Time. And, I hope you have enjoyed (if that is the right word), following and learning about the Ripper events. This was the first time I have followed the events of Jack the Ripper in real time. It always seems like a historical event that there is more to learn about. As it is so large. You just have to look at the Jack the Ripper website Casebook to see how large it is.
Everyone has their own theories on Jack the Ripper. Everyone who studies Jack the Ripper has their own theories. To who they think the ripper was, or who it wasn't. To what happened. And why.
For me, I would say that I don't know who Jack the Ripper was. There really isn't a lot of evidence to come to a conclusion about the rippers real identity. Which is the reason why the events of Jack the Ripper are still surrounded in mystery. But, it is that same mystery which keeps, and has kept people interested in the Jack the Ripper case. If we knew it was John Miller from Whitechapel Road, for example, would we still be talking about it in the same way today? Doubtful. The mystery of Jack the Ripper is what grips us. When you read about the suspects, you change your mind constantly. 'He fits. It is definitely him.' 'That theory looks good. It is definitely that.' There is't any (concrete) evidence to tell us who Jack was. The likelihood is, that we will probably never know who Jack the Ripper was. What his motivate was. How many victims there actually were. And the true true extent to his crime. Unless we are enlightened with new information. Such as the hidden files at Scotland Yard. Could these secret files either identify Jack the Ripper, or give as a strong inclination as to who Jack the Ripper was? It is possible. It does seem strange that you have historical sources kept hidden. And only fuels theories like the royal conspiracy. It could also be a case where these files aren't really that interesting, and reveal nothing at all. We can be sure though, in the mean time, that people will continue to speculate about the Jack the Ripper murders. Next year I will be back with some Ripper Real Time tweets. Next up is Titanic Real Time - which is coming soon! Thank you!
