The Yorkshire Ripper

from Compact Murder · host Compact Murder

The Yorkshire Ripper case remains one of the darkest chapters in modern British criminal history. Between 1975 and 1980, Peter Sutcliffe murdered thirteen women and attacked several more, spreading fear across Yorkshire and beyond. But this is not only a story about a killer. It is also a story about missed chances, flawed assumptions, institutional failure, the devastating Wearside Jack hoax, and the women whose lives were too often reduced to headlines. This episode of Compact Murder examines the case with care, looking at the crimes, the investigation, the victims, the survivors, and the legacy of a manhunt that still raises uncomfortable questions about policing, misogyny, and public memory.
