In 1978, the Yorkshire Ripper manhunt became the biggest in British police history — 200 officers, over 130,000 interviews — and still let the killer walk away. Host Marcus follows the 1978 victims Yvonne Pearson, Helen Rytka, and Vera Millward, the five-pound-note lead that put Peter Sutcliffe in a police interview room twice, and the tunnel vision that released him again and again.
He was questioned. He was let go. Nobody knows how many lives that cost. New episodes daily — one complete case every season.
