S1 E2: The Pattern Nobody Saw

On the night of January 20, 1976, 42-year-old Emily Jackson gets into a stranger's car outside a Leeds pub — and becomes the Yorkshire Ripper's second murder victim. Host Marcus traces her story, the surviving witnesses of the 1975 hammer attacks that were never linked, and the broken 1970s policing that let Peter Sutcliffe kill again and again. The pattern was sitting in plain sight. Nobody had enough of it to see it. New episodes daily — one complete case every season. Music by SINIUS (Free Music Archive, CC-BY 4.0).
