While some theories suggest that Aaron Kosminski, a Polish immigrant and barber, could have been Jack the Ripper, this has never been definitively proven. Kosminski was one of several suspects identified by the police at the time of the murders in 1888, and his name resurfaced in 2014 when DNA evidence from a shawl supposedly linked to one of the victims, Catherine Eddowes, pointed to Kosminski. However, this evidence has been widely criticized for potential contamination and questionable scientific methods.
Several other suspects have also been proposed over the years, and due to the lack of conclusive evidence, Jack the Ripper’s true identity remains a mystery. So, while Kosminski is one of the more plausible suspects, it has not been definitively proven that he was Jack the Ripper.

Yeah this is where I'm coming from there are loads of reasons his DNA (whatever the source spittle/blood/semen/something else) could be on the shawl, it just puts him on the wall with the other suspects.

@Girlbehindthecurtain It's too late now but if it happened today could somebody get away with it? I was automatically going to say 'of course not' but I'm not so sure having paused to think about it.

@GeniUs if you think about it the zodiac was in late 60s and early 70s and we still have no clue.

@Girlbehindthecurtain Forensic advancements have really come on in the last 20-30 years for example I remember the statement that the Human Genome had been mapped and thinking that'll solved hundreds of thousands of crimes but making the database will cost a massive sum of money that no government will pay...well they didn't have to somebody advertised you can find out all about your heritage and people paid for themselves to go onto the database! It's solved some crimes but not in the numbers I imagined.
The Zodiac Killer seems to have been an exceptionally intelligent individual though so I suspect it will only ever be a lucky breakthrough that will capture him or her.
