What if the key to solving a century-old murder spree was hidden in your family tree?
The Ripper of Paris terrorized the city in the early 1900s, leaving behind a trail of mutilated victims
and zero suspects.
But now, genealogists are using DNA from preserved evidence to trace the killer’s lineage.
It’s not just about who he was—it’s about who he’s connected to.
And the results are more shocking than anyone expected.
The breakthrough came when a distant relative uploaded their DNA to a public ancestry database.
Investigators cross-referenced it with degraded samples from the crime scenes.
Suddenly, a web of connections emerged—linking the killer to a prominent Parisian family.
This wasn’t a drifter or a madman.
He was someone with influence, someone who knew how to hide in plain sight.
The family’s silence over generations now speaks volumes.
Historians had long suspected the Ripper of Paris was more than a myth, but the brutality of the
crimes made it hard to believe he was never caught.
Victims were often women from working-class neighborhoods, and the killer left cryptic symbols at each scene.
These symbols, once dismissed as random, are now believed to be linked to a secret society with ties
to the suspect’s family.
The murders may have been ritualistic.
One of the most chilling discoveries?
A diary found in a family estate, written in code.
When decrypted, it revealed disturbing entries that matched the dates and locations of the murders.
The writer described 'cleansing the city' and 'offering blood to the order.' Experts believe this could be the
killer’s own journal.
If true, it’s the closest we’ve ever come to hearing the Ripper’s voice—and it’s terrifying.
Despite the evidence, no official charges have been made.
The suspect died decades ago, and the family refuses to cooperate.
But the case has reignited public interest, and amateur sleuths are digging deeper.
Could there be more victims?
More secrets buried in the archives?
The Ripper of Paris may never face justice, but thanks to genealogy and relentless curiosity, his mask is
finally slipping.
The truth is no longer buried.
