What a mystery it still is! Even though dozens of books have been written about it, no one knows for sure who Jack the Ripper really was.
Ripper experts have given evidence for it's being Albert the Prince of Wales, or his tutor, or the painter Walter Sickert, or Montague Druitt (an out-of-work barrister) or a Freemason conspiracy or even a doctor to the royal family, Dr. Gull. Even though some writers make compelling arguments for one of these candidates, no one can prove Jack's true identity.

No, there is no Ripper suspect who is is definitely proven to have committed the crimes.
The theories about Freemasons, Royal connections and prominent doctors are all effectively debunked by now.
Patricia Cornwell's book is terrible--she offers no convincing evidence that Sickert was the Ripper.

they facts are that during many of the issues that were aired on TV for years brought out new statements that said that there was a good chance that it was a member of the royal family and it was a nut case and was very open in close to the source in UK about who this guy was because it was said that all possibilities led to the opportunity that only a few people could have had this open of an access to the killings and not be arrested

No...they key word being positive in your question.
The most legitimate solution to the case has been presented by Patricia Cornwell, noted writer and crime investigator.
Her preponderance of evidence points to actor-***-artist Walter Richard Sickert.

ha ha ha all the previous fools need to keep up to date with their reading on the ripper all the people mentioned have alibis for their whereabouts at the time of one or more murders the 2 latest and possibly most likely suspects are a polish butcher and proffesional nutter called kosminski and an american quack doctor named tumpletee or tumbletee who was present at the right time and was later tried for similar murders in the united states personally my money is on the doctor

Well, the Police were fairly certain that the killer was a prominent member of society and for this reason he was never apprehended.
Funny, things haven't changed much since then.
They said the same thing with the Black Dahlia case and look at O.J...
