Jack the Ripper Hints
So who was Jack the Ripper really? (Warning -- Spoilers!)
1 of 3: Well, he wasn't Dr. Tumbletwo, Silkner, the "giant," or anyone else you chased through this game, that's clear.
2 of 3: Maybe it's Paul after all. Or Patrick the newsboy -- there's a demented child if ever I saw one.
3 of 3: In real life, who knows? There have been many theories, from deranged doctors to psychotic royalty. The most convincing case I've ever seen was based on inconclusive DNA results from one of Jack's letters. You can read more about it in the book "Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper -- Case Closed" by Patricia Cornwell (ISBN: 0425192733).
