Well lets use some common sense. Jack the Ripper commited his crimes in the late 1880s. If the crimes were commited by an infant the person would now be approximately 120 years old an age far beyond the average life expectancy in Brittain or the US. However, we cant put an exact age on Jack the Ripper because he was never caught. IAlthough based on various profiles if he were around, he would nearly be 150 years old. Do you know anyone who is 150 years old?

Jack the Ripper - - - is a metaphor for evil and evil can be quenched yet has yet to be exstinguished. The man dubbed 'Jack the Ripper' in late Victorian England is definitely Dead but in this crazy world of 2007 there will be others claiming the title.
Peace...

Considering that the murders attributed to Jack the Ripper occured in 1888, I'd think so.
Hope this helps!

Also... his crimes weren't ever solved. This is the allure of the Jack the Ripper murders... we still aren't sure who it was.

"The one certainty in the mystery of Jack the Ripper is that one can never be absolutely certain who was guilty."

Only physically, not in the minds of those intrigued by the mystery.
