BREAKING: Jack the Ripper SOLVED? New DNA Evidence Points to Aaron Kosminski After 137 Years
For over a century, Jack the Ripper's identity remained one of history's greatest mysteries. Five women brutally murdered in Victorian London's Whitechapel district. A killer who vanished into the fog. Countless suspects, endless theories, but no definitive answers.
Until now.
In this explosive episode of Deadly Intent, we dive deep into the groundbreaking 2025 DNA evidence that may have finally unmasked the world's most notorious serial killer. Russian researcher Russell Edwards claims a "100% DNA match" linking the murders to Aaron Kosminski, a Polish barber who was already a prime suspect in 1888.
What You'll Discover:
The Evidence: Mitochondrial DNA extracted from a Victorian crime scene shawl matches living descendants of both victim Catherine Eddowes and suspect Aaron Kosminski. The timeline fits. The psychology aligns. And families of both victim and suspect are now demanding an official inquest to legally name the killer.
But is the evidence strong enough to close history's most infamous cold case? We examine both sides of this controversial claim and explore what it means for the families still seeking justice 137 years later.
