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

Why the World Still Cares

Most unsolved cases eventually fade. Jack the Ripper refuses to. The story hovers somewhere between true crime and urban legend, making it impossible to shake. It taps into a deep human need to solve what feels unsolvable.

For Americans especially, the setting adds to the allure. Victorian London feels mysterious and cinematic until it turns deadly. Add in a faceless killer and endless speculation, and the story becomes something people can’t help but revisit.
