Ep 388 Remastered: The Forgotten Victims: The A1 Linked Attacks, Continued Part 7

Show Notes

In this remastered Crime Analyst series, Laura Richards puts the women back at the centre of the story. For decades, the women murdered and attacked by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS in this series) were overshadowed by the man who targeted them.

In this episode you will hear more from DC Abdrew Laptew, including how he was treated by West Yorkshire Police having identified PS far earlier on and been lambasted by the senior officer leading the investigation. You will learn more about the three police interviews with PS in 1980 and the events leading to his arrest on January 2, 1981, which will blow your mind. Laura shares her analysis of the near-miss attacks on Dr Upadhya Bandara, Maureen ‘Mo’ Lea and Theresa Sykes, and the murder of Jaqueline Hill by PS. Laura also shares her analytical process and how she prioritises offences when working major cases. Come inside this re-investigation and don’t forget to follow Crime Analyst on Instagram and Facebook for the photofits and graphics.

Join Laura in the intelligence cell as she re-examines the case through an expert behavioural analysis lens, centering the victims whilst focusing on risk and prevention.

Listener discretion advised. This episode contains graphic details and may be triggering and/or upsetting.
