Original Note:
Claims that Jack the Ripper was identified with a "100% DNA match" are misleading. A 2019 study linked Aaron Kosminski to crime scene DNA, but contamination, degradation, and lack of a confirmed reference sample make the evidence weak. Experts remain skeptical. https://www.science.org/content/article/does-new-genetic-analysis-finally-reveal-identity-jack-ripper
