the song is called unsolved mysteries, and jack the ripper's identity is one of the biggest mysteries of all serial killer cases, but i believe it's a metaphor for someone ending a relationship.
she's madly in love, or maybe he's in love for a while, but then when she looks at him eventually he is "jack the ripper" because he's ending things, therefore "ripping" things apart, and she starts crying like a child.
i also think it has to do with growing up and being mature about things, so maybe it's deeper than just a relationship. maybe they get married and one day she finds out he never really loved her, but she doesn't cry this time, even though since he's loveless he is "jack the ripper". it's something along these lines anyway.
