Episode 404: The Yorkshire Ripper Part 2
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?

Episode 403: The Yorkshire Ripper Part 1
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.

Molly McLaren was just starting out at University when she met Joshua Stimpson via tinder. The two of them seemed to have a lot in common and hit it off instantly. Josh told Molly that she was his first real girlfriend, and that was comforting to her because he was her first serious relationship. In all reality Josh was lying, he had dated women in the past and actually terrorized many of them. Molly would soon learn that he was a dangerous individual, and took all the right steps to get away from him.
