The Guilty Files

TGF 035 The Yorkshire Ripper: Revisited


Listen Later

“He was interviewed nine times. Survivors named him. And still, he kept killing.”This week on The Guilty Files: ReVisited, Brian and Dani return to one of the most infamous failures in criminal investigation history—the Yorkshire Ripper case. But this isn’t a retelling. It’s a reckoning.From the fog-soaked streets of 1970s Yorkshire to the modern courtroom of public opinion, this co-hosted episode pulls no punches.

Brian dissects the procedural breakdowns, institutional ego, and flawed profiling that allowed Peter Sutcliffe to evade capture—even after survivors identified him by name. Dani peels back the psychological and sociological layers, asking how cultural bias, gendered assumptions, and classism created the perfect storm for a serial predator to hide in plain sight.Along the way, the hosts share their own frontline story—recalling a moment from their careers in Atlanta when a citywide riot left them without leadership or support.

The eerie parallels to the command breakdowns in the Ripper investigation? Unmistakable.Inside this episode:
  • How missed leads and media distractions cost lives
  • Why survivors were ignored—and what that says about who we listen to
  • What we still get wrong about “monsters”
  • And how trauma doesn’t end with an arrest—it evolves across generations
This is more than a case file. It’s a confrontation with complicity.And just when you think it’s over—Brian and Dani ask the ultimate question: What systems are we still clinging to today that we’ll one day look back on in shame?🎧 Stream it now on your favorite podcast platform.🔓 And if you're ready for the truth they buried, subscribe to The Guilty Files on Apple Podcasts to unlock three exclusive bonus segments:
