LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Best-selling crime novelist Patricia Cornwell thinks she may have uncovered Jack the Ripper's DNA and that it could be a match for a British artist who liked to paint morbid scenes of violence against women.

I saw a documentary on this story the other day. It's pretty interesting stuff. Even without the DNA evidence, it's almost 100% clear that artist you mentioned is indeed Jack the Ripper.

They say that most of his grotesque paintings actually mirrored crime scenes that no one could have seen except the police.
