Now, new details in a recent documentary may have helped to identify the elusive murderer, Knewz.com has learned Using modern technology, the duo re-examine the murders and provide a fresh perspective on this chilling case.
One recent theory, put forth in the book One-Armed Jack: Uncovering the Real Jack the Ripper, suggests that Hyam Hyams may have been the infamous killer. Sarah Bax Horton, the book's author and a former police volunteer whose great-great-grandfather was involved in the original investigation, claims to have uncovered damning medical records that support her theory.
Horton explains, "He was weak at the knees and wasn't fully extending his legs when he walked, he had a kind of shuffling gait, which was probably a side-effect of some brain damage as a result of his epilepsy." Hyams' physical description matches the accounts provided by witnesses.
Furthermore, the records describe Hyams as being "particularly violent" after experiencing severe epileptic fits. Horton argues that this violent behavior parallels the increasing brutality of the Ripper's crimes, suggesting a possible motive for his actions.
The murders abruptly ceased around the same time that Hyams was apprehended by police as a "wandering lunatic" and later committed to the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum in North London.
