Best Answer

No

the police were never able to catch him.

Yes, he certainly was, and once apprehended, the killings stopped immediately and never resumed. However, he was never tried, as he soon died while incarcerated of an STD. Name: Nathan Kaminsky (Wirtkofsky) -- an obscure, unhappy, and homicidal man with a fatal disease who was furious he had been infected.

//The serial killer known only as Jack The Ripper was never officially identified and/or apprehended. Although the mystery remains, some of the improbable suspects can be eliminated. Aaron Kosminski could not have been the Ripper for the simple fact that he was locked up in an asylum for the mentally ill during the time of at least three of the murders. Nor did the killing stop after the November 8, 1888 murder of Mary Kelly. JTR continued to kill until at least 1891 and most likely beyond that, possibly into the early 20th century. Kosminski was long dead by that date.
it is imposoble to say but he started at 1888 and he was never caught

He was not for the simple reason that he was never identified or apprehended. We can trot out all the theories and half-truths that have become synonymous with the Ripper case but I think it's important to deal in reality.

We don't know for sure who he was but we can eliminate some of the more rediculous 'suspects'. The Queen's personal physician Sir William Gull is the first to go as is the Queen's grandson Prince Albert, Leather Apron, Kozmiski, Ostrog, John Barnett, James Maybrick, Dr. Tumblety, Montegue John Druitt. These are just a few of the more than 400 possibles that have been associated with this case.

He was Nathan Kaminsky, who died while incarcerated. The case never came to trial, and due to religious concerns was never publicized. It was officially closed in 1992 in England. (Kozmiski was an insane man with a similar name that at the time was like "John Doe" is today in America. Kaminsky was a very similar name in a neighboring precinct, which has led to the confusion over the years. However, the police at the time were prettys ure they had their man, but the religious situation was explosive and they kept it quiet, since once caught, the killings topped.

The 19th century serial killer known as Jack The Ripper was never caught. The theories are endless as to his true identity. There are very few that seem logical but most border on the hilarious. When modern forensics are applied, most of the known suspects can be eliminated.

Jack the Ripper was never discovered. There were suspicions that he was a very influential and rich person in the British community. But his true identity was never found out.

Since the identity of Jack the Ripper remains a mystery to this day, the answer would be no. Whoever he really was is a secret he managed to take to his grave.
