How could any of these "techniques" tell us exactly what the killer looked like? More hokum for the masses. I guess it beats watching "Dancing with the Stars."

I've read a great deal about Jack the Ripper and most experts seem to agree that he was from the upper class and possibly very well known. Have they compared this composite to what any of the "likely suspects" actually looked like? Because I don't think he does.

I can't help but believe this is pointless. Why don't they do Simpson's killer. Oh wait, I forgot..

"Investigators have even been able to pinpoint his address."

BS.

Suspects have included Lewis Carroll, Prince Albert Victor and Sir John Williams, obstetrician to the Royal Family.

Thanks to the Ripper industry, you could hardly fill a Post-it note with non-suspects.

Metropolitan Police Commander John Grieve, who has worked with the team of experts, believes the killer would have been caught if officers at the time had this new information.

"This is further than anyone else has got," he said. "It would have been enough for coppers to get out and start knocking on doors... they would have got him."

Except that it is quite possible that authorities were pressured NOT to catch the person by very powerful members of British society who then "ended" the killing spree by convincing the Ripper to stop.

No kidding. It's only around 120 years too late.
