The actual article never claims to have solved anything. So it's actually much better than the published blurbs: https://academic.oup.com/dsh/advance-article/doi/10.1093/llc/fqx065/4824843?guestAccessKey=531a00c9-32f7-464f-81b4-001465e0f65f https://academic.oup.com/dsh/advance-article/doi/10.1093/llc... """ In this article, an analysis of the texts sent during the Whitechapel murders case was presented. This analysis found linguistic evidence that supports the hypothesis that the two most iconic texts signed as ‘Jack the Ripper’, the ‘Dear Boss’ letter and the ‘Saucy Jacky’ postcard, have been written by the same person. Because of the number and the distinctiveness of the linguistic similarities, it is likely that an authorial link also exists between these two texts and a third letter sent to the same recipient, the ‘Moab and Midian’ letter. These results constitute new forensic evidence in the Jack the Ripper case after more than 100 years, even though they do not reveal information about the identity of the killer(s). Besides the historical and forensic implications, the results presented in this article also have interesting consequences for modern research in authorship analysis, forensic linguistics, and research on idiolect. The results in this article present additional evidence that uniqueness in linguistic production can be found in the way meaning is encoded and that this encoding of meaning can be difficult to imitate.
