After 137 Years, DNA May Have Finally Revealed Jack the Ripper

Locked Away in an Asylum

Kosminski was confined to an asylum in 1891 and remained there until his death in 1919. Supporters note that the killings stopped around the time of his admission, which feels far too convenient to ignore.

Skeptics point out that asylum records were often messy and exaggerated, and that mental illness does not automatically mean violence. The timeline is compelling, but not conclusive, which is on brand for this entire case.
