It had been held in the Police College in Bramshill, U.K., but it was feared lost when the college closed its doors in 2015, according to the report. The walking stick was rediscovered at the College of Policing's headquarters in Ryton, West Midlands, and it is now being used as a symbol of the advancements in police technology for recruits.
"Finding this cane was an exciting moment for us," Antony Cash, the college's content creator, said."Jack the Ripper is one of the biggest and most infamous murder cases in our history, and his crimes were significant in paving the way for modern policing and forensics as it caused police to begin experimenting with and developing new techniques as they attempted to try and solve these murders, such as crime scene preservation, profiling, and photography.
Jack the Ripper is said to have brutally murdered at least five women in 1888, and he was never captured.
