Ep. 8: Peter Sutcliffe: Unmasking the Failures in the Yorkshire Ripper Investigation


Listen Later

In this deep dive, we dissect the chilling case of Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, who brutally murdered 13 women between 1975 and 1980. We explore the societal biases that tainted the investigation, the tragic police missteps, and how a hoax distracted attention from catching the real killer. This episode delves into the systemic misogyny that allowed Sutcliffe to evade capture, even after being interviewed multiple times, and the media's role in framing the victims. We also analyze the broader issues of violence against women, sex work, and the failures that still resonate today. Join us as we unpack the complexity behind one of the UK’s darkest chapters.
