S1 E6: The Final Victims

By 1979, the Yorkshire Ripper's victim profile had collapsed — no longer just the women the police expected, but a bank clerk crossing a park, a university student leaving a pub, a civil servant strangled on her way home from work. Host Marcus traces the final murders — Josephine Whitaker, Barbara Leach, Marguerite Walls, and Jacqueline Hill, the 13th and last — and the two survivors who lived to describe him, while the biggest manhunt in British history kept chasing the wrong voice. Five years. Thirteen dead. And a country asking how he was still free. New episodes daily — one complete case every season. Music by SINIUS (Free Music Archive, CC-BY 4.0).
