Five years after Peter Sutcliffe’s death, his crimes continue to cast a long shadow over Northern England. In this remastered episode, I revisit a two-part series from my archives, now presented as one seamless story.

This episode focuses on the thirteen women whose names are too often forgotten. I look at who they were, the lives they were building, and how systemic failings left them at risk. I also revisit the investigation’s major missteps, the Wearside Jack hoax, and the eventual arrest and trial.

Fifty years on from the first confirmed murder - and five years since Sutcliffe’s death - their stories remain as important as ever.
