I know somewhat about Jack the Ripper and he has always been a favorite historical person of mine, and I don't mean this in a way like I would want to be just like him but it amazes me how he was able to do all this stuff and never get caught(even though the police back then stunk). Anyways, I have decided to write a piece with him as a main character in school, it will be about a detective, Frederick E. Underwood, who will fallow the Jack the Ripper case. So what I am basically asking is, what is the information I will basically need to make a good story on something like this. Like clues that lead to him and all those things detectives need to follow, otherwise I am stuck writing some stupid myth.

Andruis,

I would start by providing your Detective Underwood with all of the things that we've all wanted in the case over the past few years namely:

1.) A murder weapon at one of the scenes
2.) An actual confirmed letter from the killer
3.) An actual, confirmed eye-witness or description of the killer
4.) (My personal choice) Bloodhounds to track the killer.

Add those in, using what you already know and the information provided on this site and you'll write a good story.

Andruis,

Please wait for Mr. John Omlor to refute everything that Mr. Schoeneman has stated. It should be interesting.
