For 136 years, the 身元 of Jack the Ripper has confounded history buffs.
Some say the 殺し屋 was 吊りくさび Carroll, the 'Alice in Wonderland' creator, others 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑う Winston Churchill's dad ― Lord Randolph Churchill.
Others still say it was likely a 非,不,無-famous 地元の of Whitechapel, East London, where the gruesome slayings occurred in the 1880s.
Now, a TikToker from Tennessee has 追加するd a 指名する to the 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) of 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑うs.

An illustration of a street in?Whitechapel, East London, after Jack the Ripper (人命などを)奪う,主張するd another 犠牲者?
It's already clocked up more than 14 million 見解(をとる)s.
In it, she explains why she thinks French impressionist artist Edgar Degas was the 殺し屋.
The painter and sculptor is celebrated for his 作品 of ballerinas, bathing 女性(の)s and 売春婦s.
Schirr says Degas' 支配する-事柄 明らかにする/漏らすs more about him than was 以前 understood.
His obsession with women's 団体/死体s makes him a prime 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑う for the 殺し屋 who stalked cobblestoned London by twilight.
'Those are the thoughts that I cannot get out of my 長,率いる,' Schirr says in her viral ビデオ.
'Did this artist get away with 殺人?'
Her theory casts a 悪意のある 影をつくる/尾行する on the 'pretty 絵s of ballerinas that hang in little girls rooms to this day,' she 追加するs.
'Were they painted by a 殺害者?'
At least a dozen 殺人s between 1888 and 1892 have been speculatively せいにするd to Jack the Ripper.?
A self-portrait of?Edgar Degas, the impressionist artist who?Kiki Schirr now でっちあげる,人を罪に陥れるs as a psychopath?
But only five of those, all committed in 1888, were linked by police to a 選び出す/独身 殺害者.
These いわゆる 'canonical five' 犠牲者s were Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Kate Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.
They're often 現在のd as 売春婦s killed while plying their 貿易(する), but this is 論争d.
At the time, police 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑うd the Ripper was a butcher, 予定 to the way his 犠牲者s were killed and the fact they were discovered 近づく to the dockyards, where meat was brought into the city.
Several people have been identified as the serial 殺し屋.
But no theory is 広範囲にわたって 受託するd. It's now doubtful the mystery will ever be solved.
Degas is a prime 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑う, Schirr says in her seven-minute 新規加入 to the enigma.
For one, she says, he lived at the 権利 time.
Born in Paris in 1834, Degas was in his 早期に 50s at the time of the 殺人,大当り spree, she says.
Edgar Degas often 焦点(を合わせる)d on women and ダンサーs, who may have been sex 労働者s?
Tennessee's Kiki Schirr has nearly 124,000 TikTok 信奉者s and her Jack the Ripper ビデオ has been seen more than 14 million times?
At that time, 記録,記録的な/記録するs show, he 'was beginning to really hate women,' she 追加するs.
'He'd always been a bit of a misogynist, but he was degrading into a horrible, awful misanthrope of a person,' she 追加するs.
Victorian 警官,(賞などを)獲得するs were searching for a butcher, but Schirr says the 殺人s could also have been the work of a painter.
'Degas was a classically-trained artist, he had …に出席するd human dissections, probably 多重の times,' she says.
She uses biographical accounts o f Degas and his oeuvre to 示唆する he was a psychopath.
He was 'obsessive about knowing every 詳細(に述べる) about how a 団体/死体 worked,' she says.
He often compared women to horses and other animals, she 追加するs.
His 熟考する/考慮するs of women in Paris 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業s in the late 1800s 示すd late-night trysts with men, she 追加するd.
Oftentimes, Degas' pastel pieces of women bore the 'dark line' of a 略章 '削減(する) across' their necks, she says ― reminiscent of the Ripper's throat-slitting escapades.

She also 演説(する)/住所s an anti-Semitic scrawl left in chalk on a 塀で囲む beside a 手がかり(を与える) in Eddowes' 殺人 ― a 重要な element of Ripper lore.
The language used 示唆するd at a French (衆議院の)議長, she says.
Degas, she 追加するs, was an artist who could 井戸/弁護士席 have had a piece of chalk in his pocket.
同様に as 動機, Schirr says Degas had plenty of 適切な時期.
He was rich and 井戸/弁護士席-connected, she says.
' He lived in Paris, which was just a short train ride away from London, where the 殺人s occurred,' she 追加するs.
She 公式文書,認めるs that Degas wrote a 'トン of letters' from southern フラン at the time of two Ripper slayings.
This was likely Degas 'setting himself up an アリバイ' through a paper 追跡する, she 追加するs.
The clip went viral, and Schirr has now 地位,任命するd more than a dozen ビデオs about Degas' culpability.
One テレビ視聴者 賞賛するd an '利益/興味ing theory' that left them 'genuinely 納得させるd.'
Others said they'd always been uneasy about the 'eerie' 質 of Degas' work.
信奉者's of Schirr's theory say Degas' ballerina artworks now look 'creepy' and 'eerie'?
'I always thought the ballerina 絵s were off-putting, but this now makes sense to why,' 地位,任命するd another.
Schirr has won over fans, but her theory has problems.
She says Paris-bases De gas could take a 'short train ride' to stalk London women.
But the Eurostar rail link between the two 資本/首都s didn't open until 1994, after the Channel Tunnel was built.
That's more than a century after the Ripper terrorized Whitechapel.
Still, Schirr's theory is the biggest 開発 in the Ripper saga since last month's 発覚s of a never-before-seen police とじ込み/提出する.
The fascinating 古記録 was 設立する by the 広大な/多数の/重要な-grandson of a 探偵,刑事 who worked on the 事例/患者.
It 含むs two photographs of Michael Ostrog, an 早期に 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑う.
Ostrog, a ロシアの 移民,移住(する), was a petty どろぼう and 反対/詐欺 artist who spent long periods in 刑務所,拘置所 and in a mental 亡命.
However, he was quickly 支配するd out as the Ripper as it 現れるd that he was in the lunatic wing of a French 刑務所,拘置所 when the 殺人s took place.
