Sherlock Holmes is the most celebrated detective in the history of detectives who are celebrated.
So, given that these two were both operating at the same time, during the 1880s, how come Sherlock, the greatest detective who ever lived, didn't use his incredible deductive abilities to track down Jack, the most wanted criminal of his time?
The answer is obvious, they were both the same person, of course. Sherlock Holmes was Jack the Ripper. Case closed.
