Unsolved murders have always been around and to this day we continue to have more and more new cold cases similar to Mr. Jack's claim to fame. Thing is this case is like many many others and doesn't really stand out as anymore special or unique than the others, at least to me. The Bloody Benders of Kansas is far more intriguing to me for it was the home of a family of four sociopaths that were never found. The grim harvest is more unique than Jack the Ripper and far creepier to me, yet it is Jack the Ripper's name that is engraved into people's minds. I wonder if they would spent half the amount of time looking for the Zodiac killer or the original Night Stalker if they would have actually found the culprits behind this crimes. It is reasonable to believe they could actually still be alive, while cases over 100 years cold would only benefit a piece of mind.
It was because news papers were a relatively new thing, they needed something to write about and people are ghouls.
