There are many reasons why Jack the Ripper was never caught. Check out this video to understand more: https://youtu.be/vAlB2rcDESI?si=Dgq-VGD4mVcL1dP_
All five victims lived in the area of Whitechapel when they were murdered, but they came from different areas. Polly was born on Fleet Street, near St Bride’s Church in central London. Annie Chapman was born in Paddington, also in London. Elizabeth Stride grew up in a Swedish village named Torslanda, just to the west of Gothenburg. Catherine Eddowes was born in Wolverhampton in the English Midlands. Mary Jane Kelly’s background is more uncertain – she may well have been from Limerick in Ireland.
Mary Ann ‘Polly’ Nichols was 43, Annie Chapman 47, Elizabeth Stride 44, Catherine Eddowes 46, and Mary Jane Kelly was believed to be around 25 years old when murdered.
Four of Jack the Ripper’s victims were discovered in Whitechapel. However, the body of his fourth victim Catherine Eddowes was discovered in the City of London (today’s financial district)
The five ‘canonical’ or most commonly accepted victims were Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly. However, some historians believe that Martha Tabrum was also a victim, and perhaps Elizabeth Stride was not.
The murders which have been attributed to Jack the Ripper took place between August and November 1888
