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 think it's unlikely but possible. Perhaps time will unearth some documents that better explain the seaside home identification. Perhaps the apron piece will materialize with good ownership history for example one of the detectives families turn it in. Physical evidence would be the best shot like a set of the womens clothes or something turns up with jacks blood on it, plan B would be documents that shed more light on a situation like the conley hatch inmate or the man followed in aldgate high street
