An investigation into the man Scotland Yard thought (but couldn't
prove) was Jack the Ripper
Dozens of theories have attempted to resolve the mystery of the identity
of Jack the Ripper, the world's most famous serial killer. Ripperologist
Robert House contends that we may have known the answer all along. The
head of Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigation Department at the time of
the murders thought Aaron Kozminski was guilty, but he lacked the legal
proof to convict him. By exploring Kozminski's life, House builds a
strong circumstantial case against him, showing not only that he had
means, motive, and opportunity, but also that he fit the general profile
of a serial killer as defined by the FBI today.
