He correctly predicted who Jack the Ripper was in a thread 11 years ago (assuming the current story is proven true).

Is a good point. And might not apply to the other suspects.

When a serial killers disappear it is usually because they have died or been incarcerated for a different offense.

I never heard him mentioned.
Ax Murderers
You remember the Lizzie Borden story: Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her mother 40 whacks . . . that one. Well, do you remember that she was acquitted? The Big Island in Lake Minnetonka was once called Morse Island, for the Morse brothers, William Bradford Morse and John V. Morse, who owned it. They were Lizzie Bordens uncles, and John just happened to be visiting the Bordens the night of the murder. Some speculate that his training as a butcher, his superior strength, and the business he came so far to conduct in person, point to him as the real ax murderer. If so, he got away with it.
