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 from former DC Andrew Laptew himself who interviewed PS for two hours. He and his colleague came away unhappy with him. He detailed his findings in a report, concluding that PS should be arrested and submitted it to George Oldfield, the Assistant Chief Constable in charge of the investigation. He received an unbelievable response. Laura also details Tracy Browne’s reaction to the Geordie voice on the tape, a staggering decision made by Chief Constable Gregory in the wake of Tracy Browne’s statement and important new information received by the police about the tape and letters. See Crime Analyst Instagram, Facebook or join the Crime Analyst Squad for photofits and graphics. Laura’s specialist unit at New Scotland Yard was later created due to the catastrophic failures in the case. It remains one of the most misunderstood serial murder cases of our time - and why Crime Analyst refuses to use the moniker that made him famous while the women became the forgotten victims. 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. #CrimeAnalyst #PeterSutcliffe #TrueCrime #Podcast #Expert Sources https://youtu.be/UbNsY6j9xSc The R word, Netflix documentary, 2020 The R word Hoaxer True North Documentary,2017 https://www.town-hall-online.com/Yorkshire-Ripper/viewpost.php?id=307 https://www.execulink.com/~kbrannen/victim06.htm https://www.execulink.com/~kbrannen/victim19.htm https://www.town-hall-online.com/yorkshire-ripper-investigation/view.php?title=Marguerite-Walls-Yorkshire-Ripper-Victim https://www.execulink.com/~kbrannen/victim20.htm https://www.execulink.com/~kbrannen/victim21.htm Socials For more insight and knowledge and advocacy join The Crime Analyst Squad: www.Patreon.com/CrimeAnalyst www.dashriskchecklist.com www.thelaurarichards.com Subscribe to Crime Analyst YouTube: @crimeanalyst Facebook: Crime Analyst Podcast Instagram: @crimeanalyst, @laurarichards999 Website: www.crime-analyst.com If you found this episode valuable, please consider leaving a five star review wherever you listen.

Amanda Stanhope had no idea her partner had been drugging and raping her. She woke with unexplained bruises, missing clothing and disturbing signs that something was wrong. There was video evidence but police examined it and made some shocking claims. Laura asks Amanda to describe how and when she met her ex fiancé, David Rogerson, and the start of the relationship. Amanda shares how this charming, seemingly devoted partner swept her off her feet before revealing a terrifying side. Laura unravels the warning signs dressed up as romance, the calculated manipulation and coercive control, and how a predator can exploit kindness and compassion to entrap a victim. In this episode, Laura and Amanda examine: The early warning signs disguised as romance, including love bombing, intense attention and a whirlwind relationship; The frightening moment his mask slipped, exposing extreme jealousy, intimidation and controlling behaviour; How perpetrators exploit empathy, manipulate boundaries and use DARVO to portray themselves as victims; The devastating psychological and physical impact of coercive control, isolation and abuse; How seemingly caring behaviour can conceal surveillance, domination and escalating control; Amanda's courage in waiving anonymity, inspired by Gisèle Pelicot, and her determination to shift the shame onto perpetrators. Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control, psychological abuse, sexual violence, drug-facilitated rape and victim-blaming. Be curious, ask questions and always trust your instincts.

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. Laura shares other attacks on women she believes are linked to PS including Marilyn Moore who survived and gave a photofit in 1977, 14-year-old Tracy Browne who saw the photofit and re-reported the man who almost killed her and Olive Smelt’s near lethal attack 12 days before Tracy was attacked. When Laura pulled all the photofits and mapped the attacks – she blew the lid off the case. See Crime Analyst’s Instagram, Facebook or the Crime Analyst Squad for graphics detailing what she found.

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 remastered Crime Analyst series, Laura Richards puts the women back at the centre of the story. Laura deconstructs the pattern of offending, escalating risk and critical opportunities that were missed, including additional attacks she believes are linked to PS and how harmful assumptions about his victims distorted the investigation. The failures in this case were instrumental in why Laura’s specialist unit at New Scotland Yard was later created. It remains one of the most misunderstood serial murder cases of our time - and why Crime Analyst refuses to use the notorious nickname that made the perpetrator famous while the women became the forgotten victims. Join Laura in the intelligence cell as she re-examines the case through behavioural analysis, victimology, risk and prevention. Listen to the complete Forgotten Victims series: https://www.crime-analyst.com/case-001-the-forgotten-victims/ ************************************************************************************* In this episode Laura analyses the A1 linked attacks committed by PS on Emily Jackson, Marcella Claxton, Irene Richardson, Debra Schlesinger, Patricia ‘Tina’ Atkinson and Jayne MacDonald and shares some startling revelations about the crimes and crime scene behaviours and what it reveals about PS.
