Interest in this faded for me a while ago but a podcast I just heard rekindled my interest, if you'll pardon the expression. It led to me buying an ebook.
What got my attention about this is the question this author posed - what did the police at the time think about this? Apparently her great grandfather was the desk sergeant in Whitehall at the time that gave her a personal connection. It's an excellent question that I have not heard asked - problems with the police investigation are all that's written about. But, realize that there were quite a number of sober intelligent, decent people who wanted to put an end to a series of horrific murders and they didn't skim on resources. Some understanding of how the department(s) of the era were organized helps, but it certainly sounds like resources were lavished upon the case. Net result: case closed. They knew who it was at the time, knew he was locked away and there was nothing further to be done.
This isn't new, but apparently this author uncovered some information that had not been available prior to 2015 that confirmed one individual. Good podcast, I bought her book.
