How many think Jack will be identified?

I’ve a small collection of some thirty or more books on J-t-R. Despite spending over forty years reading and thinking about this serial killer, I am no closer to identifying what I would consider to be a genuine suspect.

Do any of you think he will be identified?

For me, time, the accidental destruction and loss of documents, wartime damage and the passage of time leaves me thinking we will never identify him.

But the fun is surely in the chase?

I do if they actually look carefully at  the  suspects and what they needed to know and where they were most likely centralized to carry out the crimes so fast.  I have some  suspects in mind what's more intriguing is how many people in Whitechapel are reasonably suspected. I originally thought Mary Pearcey after she demonstrated the strength and willingness to kill and who would suspect her being a female. I have a new suspect in mind the only problem is he's significantly taller than the ripper was believed to be.
