After 137 Years, DNA May Have Finally Revealed Jack the Ripper
Modern Investigators Join the Hunt
Jack the Ripper isn’t just studied by historians anymore. Retired detectives, amateur sleuths, genealogists, and true-crime fans now take part in the search, armed with digitized archives, DNA databases, and a surprising amount of free time. The case has essentially been adopted by the internet.
Forums are packed with theories, timelines, and deep dives into long-forgotten documents. Every new tool brings renewed hope that someone, somewhere, might finally find the detail everyone else missed. It has quietly become the world’s longest-running crowdsourced investigation, and the hook hasn’t faded one bit.
