from The Grim Curriculum · host The Grim Curriculum
In the final part of our Yorkshire Ripper series, we talk about the strange hoax tape that completely threw the investigation off track and gave Peter Sutcliffe more time to keep killing. We share how, in the end, it wasn’t a major task force that caught him but one officer following a gut feeling that finally led to Sutcliffe’s arrest.We also get into what happened after the trial: how he was treated in prison, the lasting impact his crimes had on society, and ultimately, how his life came to an end. This episode wraps up our deep dive into a case that changed policing, media, and true crime forever.Come hang out with us on YouTube on Saturdays at 12pm (mst)! https://www.youtube.com/@TheGrimCurriculum/videosWatch the video episode on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheGrimCurriculumPUT OUR MERCH ON YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR HOMEthegrimcurriculum.threadless.comTell YOUR stories on the next episode of Grim Encounters!
