Jack the Ripper was never caught primarily due to the primitive forensic science and investigative techniques of 1888 (no DNA, limited fingerprinting, poor crime scene processing), the killer's ability to blend into the dark, labyrinthine streets of Whitechapel, a lack of public cooperation, and a flood of hoax letters that hampered the official inquiry. The police lacked the tools to analyze crucial physical evidence and relied heavily on witness statements in a chaotic environment, allowing the killer to escape undetected.
