I really enjoyed this look back at the exploits of H H Holmes. Quite incredible how he got away with his crimes for so long. As for him being Jack the Ripper though, the evidence just wasn't there. Amarylis Fox sums it up well in pointing out that they were unable to rule him out either.
It does look to me as though they were tenuously trying to cling to their theory at times. That some of the circumstantial evidence, such as Holmes having a photo that looked slightly like a ripper victim and that the 'dear boss' letter had words that were used slightly more by Americans than Brits at the time was a bit desperate. Enjoyable show but no real evidence I'm afraid.
