IS THIS Jack the Ripper? The world's most famous cold case killer was never caught during his reign of terror in Victorian London that led to the bloody butchering of five women. More than 200 suspects have been named but to at least one Jack the Ripper scholar--a former homicide detective--German merchant Carl Feigenbaum top the table for suspects.
According to the BBC, Feigenbaum would eventually die in the electric chair for murdering his New York landlady. His lawyer suspected him of the Ripper slayings six years earlier. Trevor Marriott believes Feigenbaum is Jack the Ripper
because evidence, in the form of police documents and hundreds of letters to the authorities and newspapers, offers some clues. The identity of the man who brutally murdered five women in London's East End in autumn 1888 has remained a mystery, lost to time. But because of modern tech and Marriott's efforts we may know know what he looked like and we now know that the Ripper--long assumed to have been a doctor because of anatomical knowledge--may have also been given credit where it didn't belong.
