In this week’s Uncovered episode, Brian takes you deep into the chilling history of one of Britain’s most infamous serial killers: Peter Sutcliffe, better known as the Yorkshire Ripper. From 1975 to 1980, Sutcliffe terrorized Northern England with a string of brutal murders that left entire communities gripped with fear.

 But this episode isn’t just about the crimes—it's about the systemic failures, missed opportunities, and the cultural landscape that allowed a killer to slip through the cracks time and time again.Brian unpacks the timeline of Sutcliffe’s violent spree, dissecting the official investigations, the missteps by law enforcement, and the media frenzy that fueled public hysteria. With a law enforcement background of his own, Brian brings insight into how biases and assumptions—particularly toward the victims—delayed justice and cost lives.We revisit the women behind the headlines—mothers, daughters, workers, students—whose stories were too often overshadowed by the mythology of the Ripper himself.

This isn’t about glorifying the killer. It’s about holding up a lens to the society that failed to stop him. With exclusive details, a grounded historical lens, and a no-nonsense approach to the uncomfortable truths behind one of Britain’s darkest chapters, this episode lays the foundation for the week’s deeper exploration into psychology, victim impact, and institutional accountability.
