Jack never existed and was the invetion of an ambitious freelance journalist. That's been known for more than a century. Who did comit them? I doubt we'll ever know. Could you even trust a signed and witnessed confession if one should be found? But there has never been any shortage of suspects, a few even slightly plausible. But ask yourself do we want to know, wouldn't that spoil the 'fun'? If you have a few days to spare try browsing around http://www.casebook.org/index.html plenty of facts there and suspects! Roy
