What evidence would persuade you that the mystery is solved?

The murderer would have to leave a very vivid paper trail that wasn't previously uncovered. It would have to be authenticated time and time again.

hullo,

I have, of late, been wondering what would be needed to persuade the world that JTR has been found?

If, for instance, a portmanteau was unearthed, which contained 2 brass rings, the missing organs bobbing about in jamjars full of vinegar, a 6 or 8 inch surgical knife, and some texts which matched the Lusk Letter.

Would ripperologists caper about, wild with joy that one of the world's most enduring puzzles was solved. Or would they argue about who faked it?

What Iam trying to say is what would the average casebook reader need to be convinced of JTR's identity?
