John Douglas speculated David Cohen or someone like him, and he rarely seems to be wrong in his profiles.

He was an alien entity that took over human bodies and committed the murders. "Who ever he is, he sure talks gloomy!"
Seriously,
I have seen a documentary or two on Jack The Ripper, and I don't think we will ever know for sure.

My best guess was someone tied to the medical profession, a surgeon or a doctor.
Dr Frederick Gordon Brown, the City of London Police Surgeon, stated that the person who inflicted the wounds on Catherine Eddowes would have required a good deal of knowledge as to the position of the organs in the abdominal cavity and the way of removing them.
Best clue.

But someone who also knew the area for a quick escape. Also someone with a psychological or meaningful hang-up.

why did they suddenly stop?... As I recall from a documentary I once saw... I think there were a couple of suspects... one may have left the county... and another entered a mental institution at the same time.

One of the main suspects (Montague John Druitt) committed suicide (by drowning I think).

There are a few schools of thought for any time a serial killer just suddenly stops, either he's in jail on an unrelated charge, or I suppose in this case institutionalization's a possibility, or he's dead, or he left the country, or at least the immediate area.

The BTK killer stopped killing for 15 years before his arrest in 2005. He gave no reason why he stopped.

Law and Order SVU once had a similar storyline of a serial killer who quit killing once he found a job that gave him a position of power to continue exerting control over weaker people. Exactly what was Dennis Rader doing all those years?

He was surgeon named John Leslie Stevenson. The reason he stopped killing is because he travelled forward in time to the 70s by stealing a friends time machine.
Nope... wait, my mistake. That was the plot of Time After Time.
Never mind.

So there was only 5 victims total and there are questions as to the connection of the murders. Some accounts say up to 14? Did the Ripper have sex with his victims? Contemporary medical examinations on the Ripper's canonical victims reported that there was no evidence of "recent connexion" So that rules out one motive. On some victims there were only a few cuts and stab wounds, while others were mutilated beyond recognition. Seems like an Inconsistent pattern.

Evidently Jack wasn't the only one slashing up girls in Whitechapel at the time. Makes you wonder why he stands out the most. No evidence he had sex with his victims but given how mutilated they were especially in the genital region, who can be sure? I believe that John Douglas profiled him as being disorganized which would explain an inconsistent pattern, but I suppose there's also the issue of being interrupted given they were done on public streets and somebody could've come up.

I wonder how much influence the press had at the time of these incidents? It must of been a big seller and when one paper is doing great on a story, the other's must surely follow and add to it, the standards for publishing were 'anything that sells- goes, even liable if you could get away with it.' There were recent reports of Jack the Ripper's identity having been solved through DNA fingerprinting but those tests were later proved inconclusive. The more that you start to dig into this case, the more the evidence sends you into a hundred different directions, no wonder people have been talking about this case for years and years. Will have to see how many 'Jack the Ripper' books and novels have been sold over the years, would probably be astonished.
