Podcasts about Peter Sutcliffe

“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 livesWhy survivors were ignored—and what that says about who we listen toWhat we still get wrong about “monsters”And how trauma doesn't end with an arrest—it evolves across generationsThis 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?

This week on The Guilty Files: Rewired, Dani peels back the crime scene tape and walks us through the psychological, systemic, and social failures that enabled one of the UK's most infamous serial killers: Peter Sutcliffe — better known as the Yorkshire Ripper.But this isn't your average rehash. We go beyond the headlines and get uncomfortably close to the structures that allowed Sutcliffe to remain undetected for years: a police force paralyzed by bias, a media machine obsessed with labeling victims, and a society far too comfortable drawing lines between “innocent” and “fallen” women. Dani challenges the morality baked into the public reaction at the time — and questions whether anything has really changed. He examines how victim blaming, class prejudice, and gendered narratives shaped not only the investigation, but the legacy of the case itself. What if the most dangerous accomplice wasn't Sutcliffe's hammer, but the institutions meant to stop him? Dani doesn't flinch, and he doesn't let you either. This isn't just a story about a serial killer — it's a mirror held up to a system that cracked, shattered, and looked away.

Strap in, we're discussing copycat killers of all kinds! They say there are no original ideas, anymore. First, Benton tells the tragic tale of the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart. Then, Anna recounts the chilling case of the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe. Finally, the two watch an episode of Forensic Files, profiling the murders of Eddie Seda.Our TV doc this week is Season 8: Episode 25 of Forensic Files, "Sign of the Zodiac".

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.Listen to the full episode and be sure to follow us for Wednesday's “ReWired” analysis with Dani, where we unravel the psychological profile and lasting societal scars of the case. Then come back Friday for the co-hosted “Revisited” discussion, where Brian and Dani dig even deeper into what we've learned—and what history still refuses to face.Subscribe now and don't miss a case file.This is The Guilty Files: True Crime Uncovered.

Between 1975 and 1980, at least 13 women were murdered in Yorkshire, England, spurring on one of the biggest manhunts the UK had ever seen. Eventually, Peter Sutcliffe was captured. Who was he? Who were his victims? And how did he remain on the loose for so long?

This episode is sponsored in part by Betterhelp. What do serial killers, cult leaders, and domestic abusers have in common? According to criminal behavior analyst Laura Richards, quite a lot. In this powerful conversation, Laura explains the concept of coercive control—the psychological abuse tactic often at the core of these crimes—and how it plays out across intimate relationships, cults, and high-profile cases. Laura spent a decade at New Scotland Yard investigating rape, murder, and abduction. She went on to found the Homicide Prevention Unit and Paladin, the world's first national stalking advocacy service. Her work helped reduce the murder rate in the UK by 58 percent and led to coercive control being criminalized there. Now, she's fighting for similar legal reforms in the U.S. In Part 1 of our conversation, Laura offers insight into the behaviors and warning signs she sees in the cases of Gabby Petito, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, “Dirty” John Meehan, British serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, Larry Ray (of the Sarah Lawrence cult case), and NXIVM's Keith Raniere. This episode gives you a new lens for spotting red flags—and a deeper understanding of how abusers manipulate power and control, so major trigger warning for sexual assault, murder, and domestic violence this week.

Send us a textEpisode 185For nearly six years, the Yorkshire Ripper terrorized the north of England. Thirteen women murdered, seven more brutally attacked. And for much of that time, the man leading the hunt was George Oldfield—one of Britain's most respected detectives.But this is not just the story of a killer. It is the story of a mistake, one that cost lives and shattered reputations.In 1979, with the public gripped by fear and the investigation at a standstill, a package arrived at West Yorkshire Police. Inside was a cassette tape, its contents chilling. A man with a heavy Wearside accent taunted the police, mocking their failure to catch him, signing off with a sinister warning:"I'm Jack. I see you're still having no luck catching me.'' Tick, tock, tick, tock.Oldfield was convinced. This was their man. The Ripper. For months, the full force of British policing turned its attention to the Northeast, ignoring leads that pointed elsewhere. And while they searched for a phantom, Peter Sutcliffe kept killing.This is the story of how a hoaxer fooled the police, how an entire investigation was derailed, and how George Oldfield, a man who gave everything to catch a monster, became the case's 14th victim.Download Here https://www.buzzsprout.com/259571/episodes/16778207-george-oldfield-the-14th-victim.mp3?download=trueSupport the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

FROM THE VAULT: Today we delve into the chilling case of Peter Sutcliffe, the man who terrorised northern England as the Yorkshire Ripper. Between 1975 and 1980, Sutcliffe brutally murdered 13 women and attacked 7 others, evading capture for years as fear gripped the region. His crimes exposed deep flaws in the police investigation, leading to one of the most infamous manhunts in British history. How did Sutcliffe evade justice for so long? What were the mistakes that allowed him to continue his reign of terror?

How Richard McCann found peace after his mother's murder by Peter Sutcliffe. At just 5 years old, Richard's life was shattered when his mother was brutally murdered by the serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper. In the aftermath, Richard endured further hardship, including a difficult home life and personal struggles with drugs and incarceration. Yet, through it all, Richard managed not only to survive, but to ultimately find the courage to forgive his mother's killer, liberating himself in the process. Richard's journey of forgiveness was deeply influenced by the teachings of figures like Desmond Tutu, who emphasised the liberating power of forgiveness, even in the face of the most heinous acts. We discuss ·      Richard's story and journey of forgiveness ·      His insights on the importance of acceptance, forgiveness and resilience ·      The ripple effect of Richard's story and message, and how it has impacted countless lives ·      Richard's belief in spiritual interconnectedness and the role of synchronicity in his life Links: ·      Connect with Richard on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardmccann ·      Learn more about Richard's work: https://richardmccann.co.uk/ The paperback edition of my book, Champion Thinking: Get Out of Your Own Way, Find Your Peak Performance, is now available.

Peter Sutcliffe, dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper in the press, attacked woman after woman with a hammer and a knife (and sometimes also a screwdriver), primarily in West Yorkshire, England, from 1969 to 1980. Murdering 13 women between 1975 and 1980, he left many other women alive but badly battered and traumatized. The search to find one of England's most heinous serial killers became the largest manhunt in British history.  And I share the whole crazy story today. Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

The Yorkshire Ripper Sutcliffe's plea of diminished responsibility, which could have resulted in a lighter sentence, wasn't successful. On May 22, 1981, he was found guilty of 13 murders and seven counts of attempted murder. The judge sentenced him to 20 life terms and recommended a minimum sentence of 30 years. The death penalty wasn't an option, having been abolished in 1965. After he was captured and behind bars, Sutcliffe began using his mother's maiden name and going by Peter William Coonan. In 1984, a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia saw Sutcliffe removed from prison and sent to Broadmoor Hospital, a secure psychiatric facility. While in custody Sutcliffe applied for the right to parole, but a 2010 ruling said that he would never be released from prison. He was declared mentally able to leave the secure hospital and sent to a maximum-security prison in 2016. Sutcliffe experienced numerous assaults while in custody. In 1997, an inmate stabbed Sutcliffe's eyes with a pen, and he subsequently lost vision in his left eye. Wife Sutcliffe met Sonia Szurma, whose parents were refugees from Poland and Ukraine, in 1966. The two married on August 10, 1974. They had no children. Sonia offered her support during Sutcliffe's 1981 trial and initially visited him while he was in custody. They divorced in 1994. Her visits reportedly stopped after she got married again in 1997. Despite their divorce, Sutcliffe named Sonia as his next of kin. Sonia no longer lives in the house she and Sutcliffe moved into in 1977. Although she reportedly received permission to sell the home in December 2021, there is no public record of her actually doing so. Death Sutcliffe died at age 74 on November 13, 2020, at the University Hospital of North Durham in England. The hospital was near the prison where he'd been serving his sentence. At the end of October, Sutcliffe had been treated for a suspected heart attack at the hospital. Following his hospital stay, he reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 but refused treatment. His ex-wife Sonia is believed to have planned his funeral. The Long Shadow and Other Media In December 2020, Netflix debuted a four-part docuseries simply titled The Ripper about Sutcliffe's crime spree. It featured interviews with witnesses and investigators. Sutcliffe's crimes and capture are the subject of the seven-part ITV miniseries The Long Shadow, which debuted in September 2023. Writer George Kay based the dramatized series on the 2003 book Wicked Beyond Belief: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper by Michael Bilton, as well as real case files, interview transcripts, and police reports. Originally called The Yorkshire Ripper, the series underwent a name change because Kay felt the moniker was “disrespectful” to Sutcliffe's victims and survivors who he felt were at the heart of the series. “The victims' families certainly don't want that name being applied to Peter Sutcliffe because it creates a dark brand around a man who doesn't deserve that sort of attention,” he said.  

This week, we go full British True Crime as we head back to the seventies and eighties and investigate the life and crimes of Peter Sutcliffe, better known as the Yorkshire Ripper.  We discuss his life, what led him to become a killer, his family life, the hoax that led the police astray in this fascinating case.  Meanwhile Krysta talks more dogs and balloon debates in her Corner and Laura brings us all together in this distressingly bloody-detail free episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Join Laura as she interviews Sam Robins, Crime Analyst and Intelligence Manager, and takes you behind the scenes of the biggest UK manhunt since the search for Peter Sutcliffe, codenamed Operation Orb. The first attack known to police was the rape of a 10-year-old girl on 15 November 2001 in Ashford, Kent. When she was grabbed in broad daylight from outside a busy police-run youth club, she was told by the male attacker he would break her legs and she would be killed if she screamed. In July 2002 he attacked a 30-year-old woman in Earlswood Surrey. He attacked another woman in Surrey, another in Hertfordshire and in London. On one occasion he raped two women in the same day. Women were terrified and the police were under pressure to catch him.

Peter Sutcliffe, a notorious British murderer famously known as the Yorkshire Ripper, unleashed a reign of terror upon the nation between 1975 and 1980, claiming the lives of at least 13 innocent women and subjecting seven others to brutal assaults. However, his sinister activities can be traced back to 1969, when he committed his earliest known attack. Miraculously, his victim survived but chose not to press charges, unknowingly allowing a monster to roam freely.As Sutcliffe's heinous acts continued, a wave of fear swept through the northern regions of England, leaving communities paralyzed and desperate for justice. The ensuing manhunt spanned years, consuming an astonishing 2.5 million hours of police work. Yet, this pursuit of the Yorkshire Ripper was marred by a series of setbacks and missteps. The investigation was plagued by a lack of regard for Sutcliffe's victims, many of whom were sex workers, and a cruel hoax that cunningly diverted the attention of law enforcement.Finally, in 1981, the long-awaited breakthrough arrived when Sutcliffe was apprehended and ultimately convicted. His capture brought a sense of relief to a nation haunted by his monstrous actions. However, the chilling tale of the Yorkshire Ripper did not fade into obscurity. Over the years, it has continued to captivate the public's imagination, becoming a subject of fascination in true-crime podcasts and even inspiring the creation of the gripping 2020 Netflix documentary, The Ripper.Sadly, the chapter of Peter Sutcliffe's life came to a close in November 2020, as he passed away at the age of 74. Yet, the scars left by his crimes remain etched in the collective memory of a nation, serving as a reminder of the darkness that can lurk within even the most ordinary of individuals.Support The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsShow Website And Bloghttps://paranormalworldproductions.comAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsbrian@paranormalworldproductions.com Follow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/truecrimeodysseyThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5309458/advertisement

Mo LeaThe Long Shadow, written by George Kay, and based on Michael Bilton's book Wicked Beyond Belief, is a seven-part ITV drama based on the police hunt for a sadistic necrophiliac who terrorised women in the north of England throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. With the consultation and blessing of the families of his victims, the drama lays bare the violent misogyny and prejudicial policing that came to characterise the hunt for the so-called Yorkshire Ripper. I talk to Mo about how she survived a near-fatal attack by Sutcliffe in 1980. Mo Lea was an art student in the city when she became a target for the serial killer, Peter Sutcliffe.Mo, who had moved to Leeds from Liverpool, was out with friends in a pub in the Chapeltown area of the city, planning her 21st birthday.It was October 25, 1980, and the friends went their separate ways just after 10pm, as Mo decided to walk through the university campus to catch the bus. A man approached behind her, hit the back of her head with a hammer and attacked with a screwdriver. Her life was saved by a passing couple who heard her screams.She was assaulted so violently that her parents failed to recognise her in the hospital, her jaw broken, her face bloodied and bruised.At the time, Sutcliffe had murdered 12 women and left another seven for dead. Several months later, while recuperating at home in Liverpool, she recognised Sutcliffe on the TV as the man that attacked her. 'When you have had trauma like that, it gives you an edge,' she told me. 'If you've been close to death, you feel you've been granted this freedom to live. It has compelled me to be successful in my career.'Mo's book:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Facing-Yorkshire-Ripper-Art-Survival/dp/1526777576Her website: https://www.molea.art/Peter Sutcliffe, drawn by Mo Lea This is a public episode.

Claiming to tell unknown stories about the iconic singer, alongside songs some of his much-loved songs, this world premiere musical hopes to reflect his enduring legacy. His youngest daughter Tina, one of the producers, and the director and choreographer of the show, Kathleen Marshall join Emma Barnett. We discuss the possible decision to cancel another part of the high speed rail link - HS2 - and the impact it could have on women with Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, co-director of the Women's Budget Group, a Feminist Economic Think Tank and Zoe Billingham, Director of the IPPR North - based in Manchester. Between 1975 and 1980, Peter Sutcliffe murdered 13 women and attempted to murder at least seven more across the North of England.  A new ITV drama series, The Long Shadow, portrays the women who were killed, and their families, as well as the hardworking but flawed and misogynist police investigation.  Joining Emma are Willow Grylls, executive producer of the show and Meg Winterburn, who worked on the investigation as a police sergeant. Exclusive research shared with Woman's Hour claims that £60m is ‘wasted' in England every year on Tribunals for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Local authorities ‘fight' thousands of parents of disabled children about what support the child gets and where they go to school  – but 'lose' 96% of those cases. This comes on the day that one of the country's leading experts delivers a valedictory lecture after a 40 year career advocating for disabled children.

Sex working is a dangerous profession - the exploits of Peter Sutcliffe, Stephen Griffiths, and Alun Kyte have shown over the years just how vulnerable those who work in this way of life can be. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring the account of how in Liverpool, back in 2003, another individual began to target the sex working industry in an attempt to become the very next Ripper....

Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, was the most infamous and terrifying serial killer in Britain of the 20th century. Active as early as 1969, Sutcliffe was ultimately arrested for the murder of 13 women and attempting to murder a further 7 more. The Yorkshire Ripper attacks and the media circus surrounding his activity scarred the nation and lead to an enormous, desperate police operation to catch the killer, unlike any other in the history of Great Britain. It remains to this day among the most famous, controversial & significant manhunts ever undertaken in Britain. In this special episode of Cold Case Detective, we were able to interview the extremely knowledgeable and experienced West Yorkshire police officer Bill Blackwood! Bill lived through the Yorkshire Ripper's reign of terror in Yorkshire at the time, and joined the West Yorkshire police force in 1982. 

Hallie Rubenhold joins Betwixt the Sheets host Kate Lister to discuss our culture's fascination with serial killers. Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Peter Sutcliffe, Jack the Ripper…. these violent people are famous, but we only know them for their horrific crimes. What role does misogyny play in how these serial killers are portrayed on our screens and in our newspapers? And how does it affect court cases?

Part three of The Yorkshire Ripper gets even more brutal than the first 2 episodes. Peter Sutcliffe is really starting to ramp things up. He's getting more violent, more theatrical, and more brazen as the minutes pass. The police will end up speaking to Peter for the second time in this installment (although it certainly won't be the last time) and local news outlets will start receiving Jack The Ripper letters regarding the murders.

Part two of the Yorkshire Rippers, unfortunately, includes many many more murders and Peter Sutcliffe continuing to evade law enforcement. So many women had to lose their lives and still, Peter seemed untouchable. We also discuss the unbelievable way this case was handled in the press and how the victims were treated as well. Luckily, toward the end of this episode, you'll hear that Peter started to lose it a bit, and made some stupid (but lucky for us) mistakes. Law enforcement would get a bit of a clue that led straight to Peter, but would it be enough to stop him in his tracks and arrest him right there on the spot?

Peter Sutcliffe, who would later become known as the Yorkshire Ripper, is probably one of the gnarlier serial killers we have covered. Throughout the 70's he terrorized the streets of Yorkshire, brutally assaulting and murdering women he believed to be sex workers. In part one Alaina explains to us how he slowly became this monster, his first attacks and ends on a survivor that would eventually help lead the police to Peter. In part two, unfortunately there are more attacks and murders to tell but have no fear, this sadistic killer would eventually be stopped.Byford, Lawrence. 1981.

Professor Angela Gallop is a forensic scientist who has helped solve some of the most notorious violent crimes in recent British history including the killings of Stephen Lawrence, Damilola Taylor and Rachel Nickell. After completing a degree in botany and a doctorate on the biochemistry of sea slugs, Angela joined the Home Office's Forensic Science Service in 1974, and four years later attended her first crime scene, where 18-year-old Helen Rytka was killed by Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper. Over the years cold cases became her speciality and in 1992 she investigated the death of the Italian banker Roberto Calvi. He was found hanging from scaffolding under Blackfriars Bridge, London, in a suspected suicide ten years before. Angela's work established that suicide was unlikely and that, in all probability, he'd been murdered. His killers were never found. In 1999 Angela and her team investigated the murder of Lynette White who was killed in her flat in Cardiff in 1988. Five men had been tried for her death and three - known as the ‘the Cardiff Three' - were sent to prison although their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal two years later. Angela's investigation made history when the murderer was identified and convicted through his familial DNA. Angela first worked on the Stephen Lawrence case in 1995 – two years after his murder - and returned to it in 2006. The forensic evidence that was found during this investigation helped to convict his killers in 2012. Angela has written a book about her career in forensics and another which outlines the challenges the discipline faces today. Presenter Lauren Laverne Producer Paula McGinley
