Peter Sutcliffe: The Yorkshire Ripper

The story of Peter Sutcliffe, or the Yorkshire Ripper, is a lesson in botched justice, prejudice against sex workers, and victim blaming. Between 1975 and 1981, Sutcliffe would kill 13 women - many of whom were sex workers - and attempt to murder 7 to 10 more. Police spoke with Sutcliffe a total of 9 times before they discovered he was responsible for these calculating murders. In this episode of HNTRASK, Michelle and her good friend Britt discuss the murders of the Yorkshire Ripper, the botched investigation, and how brain damage in newborns can be reversed through different medical interventions.
