A sleuth seems to think so.. and the person that they believe they've identified was one of the suspects in the case back when the crimes were first being committed/discovered.. A Jewish man who came from Poland and was a barber named; Aaron Kosminski.
Apparently back in 2007 a Shaw containing one of the victim's blood DNA was purchased via auction, through current methods of DNA testing they were able to match the blood to one of the victims, however when they held it under light they found traces of what seemed to be seminal fluid.. they were able to locate a descendent of Kosminski's and the DNA proved a partial match, because of this it is believed that they've finally solved the mystery and Kosminski was the man behind all of the serial killings back late 1880s in London.
The book where all of this is discussed is titled; "Naming Jack the Ripper" and was written by Russell Edwards.
