American Couple Reacts: British Serial Killers & Worst Criminals!! First Time Reaction!!

[@racheltopp4968]

Great video as always! I’m surprised that the Moors Murders are not mentioned tho! Ian Brady and Myra Hindley! What they did was horrific!

[@helenroberts1107]

I was surprised they weren’t on

[@cazlou5829]

Me too, thought they would definitely be on there.

[@aaronbrown7217]

Exactly, especially when their victims were innocent children.

[@mathiasosiriswoodhal]

Yeah I thought it was gunna be 1st

[@karencooper3428]

Could be down to numbers, I think, for example shipman's count went to 168, the Moor's murderers count was 5 possibly 8

[@janetthompson1581]

Am also surprised the Moors murders wern't mentioned. Terrible and still part of the British consciousness. The names of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley will never be forgotten.

[@cogidubnus1953]

Or "Jack the Stripper" from the 1960s for that matter...or John Reginald Christie from a decade or so earlier...

[@MuninnTheLost]

Definitely, or even James Bulger!

[@OriginalOwner777]

Not just them but I am, suprised Beverley Allitt didn't get a mention with her being a serial killer nurse of babies much like the more prolific one. Perhaps its because Allitt came from lincolnshire she is less well known.

[@Outnumberedbykidsandcats]

Yeah not sure how they wouldn’t be on any list since they’re our most known by everyone I think.

[@clairebarrowcliffe5620]

The James Bulger murder was absolutely horrific too. This is one that sticks in my mind.

Yeah it's always one that sticks in my head.

[@laurenstrain8686]

[@ianjackson1674]

Brady and Hindley should really be in there. Both were imprisoned and more or less conned the prison service and tormented their victims families by not revealing where the bodies were buried.

I was surprised John Christie wasn't included. He murdered at least eight people-including his wife, Ethel. There is a movie about him about him called '10 Rillinton Place', starring Richard Attenborough.

[@janetthompson1581]

That is an excellent film

[@Bellabob]

My Grandfather was involved with the investigation and trial of John Christie.

[@ninamoores]

Even worse was that poor Timothy Evans was executed for the murders of his wife and baby daughter, but Christie was the actual killer.

I’m actually amazed that “The Moors Murderers” Myra Hindley and Ian Brady were not on that list. In fact I was expecting them to be No 1.

[@johnnorth4667]

I agree, they would have been my number 1

[@georgeshaw6374]

I think the Fred and Rosemary West case is the most vivid for the way it played out in real time on the news, every evening the story got more and more horrific. But for real life drama, David Tennant's portraial of Denis Neilson is definitely worth watching.

[@janettesinclair6279]

David Tennant's acting was chilling.

[@LTnews11]

Rosemary and Fred West was horrific, I can still remember when they were arrested and they started digging up their garden and the first body was found. The more they explored and the more bodies that were found was terrifying. They tore down the house eventually .

[@niftygnouf]

Great video as always ladies. Like others have commented, I’m surprised the moors murderers Ian Brady, and Myra Hindley weren’t on there.I’m also surprised they didn’t include The killers of James Bulger, or the Mary Bell case, as they were just children themselves when they committed murder.

[@chokolatelatte4764]

The James Bulger killers weren't serial killers with the one victim, but yes up there in the most shocking.

[@jonbolton3376]

I didn't even notice Brady and Hindley were missing, i just assumed they were and i'd missed them. That's incredible they weren't included.

[@Jobladesuck]

The moors murders ommitted seriously? We also had an angel of death serial killer too who was a nurse called Beverley Allitt. She had Munchousen by proxy and injected babies in her care with insulin and killed them. I live in the town where she worked and personally know parents affected so she would be number one to me for that alone. Evil woman. Ian Huntley is famous too but not a serial killer. Our island maybe small but proportionately the amount is scary

[@BeingWolfie]

I was born in Beverley's hospital hunting grounds a month after her arrest. My mum reasoned 'it was the safest hospital in the world at that point in time' because of the police investigations. xD

[@Jobladesuck]

@@BeingWolfie very true. I often have the same thought patterns after tragic events as people are more aware and vigilant. The problem is mental health is a ticking time bomb and random and unfathomable events are impossible to predict which is just so sad 😞

[@jonbolton3376]

I used to work with someone who as a teen was a neighbour of Maxine Carr, Ian Huntley's girlfriend, who was jailed for her jnvolvement in the killing of those two kids.

[@sarahfields288]

She was on trial in Nottingham my home town.

[@crose7412]

@Swfco It's contentious to label someone suffering with Munchausen syndrome by proxy as "evil" as it's classified as a mental illness and of course, Beverley Allitt was unfortunately undiagnosed so therefore untreated prior to her arrest.

[@Lixmage]

Tragic video but I would question their choice of perpetrators and the "ranking" of them. To not include the Moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley is inconceivable. The one that struck me most was Peter Sutcliffe because his first attempted murder was in my home town and we used to go cross-country running past his house in Bradford in school PE.

[@Jobladesuck]

The worst thing about Peter Sutcliffe was the terror as everyone knew someone was on the loose doing these things. Most of our serial killers we only know about after they have been caught and their actions have come to light. He would be number 1 for me

[@tonycasey3183]

Yes, it's odd that The Moors Murderers weren't included or Beverly Allitt.

[@ianpark1805]

@@Jobladesuck Having lived through it I know the fear for our female family members was very real. We wouldn’t allow them to be out alone after dark and ensured they were collected and or dropped off if they need to go anywhere. I used to play rugby with a lad in the police and he told me, when we met up to play a match, that Sutcliffe, arrested in the early hours of the same morning, had been identified as the Yorkshire Ripper. He knew something was up when he returned to the station from his shift in the early hours to find it knee deep in empty beer cans!

[@ianpark1805]

That the Moors Murderers were not included on this list is, well, criminal…..

[@Jobladesuck]

@@ianpark1805 I know he got as far as Sheffield too as someone was telling me the other day that he was calling at womens doors in their street offering to repair washing machines. They recognised him after his arrest obviously but I’m not sure how documented this info was (obviously if the person was telling truth as it’s hearsay but I have no reason to think them liars)

[@KernowWella]

Great reactions as always. Amelia Dyer probably slipped into obscurity because her victims were nameless infants with no one to miss them. The crimes happening over a long period of time, and only coming to light when she was found out. Jack the Ripper on the other hand was widely reported at the time of the crimes causing panic in the East End of London, with graphic drawings of the victims appearing in the newspapers of the time and sensationalising the story to sell the papers. Thus entering into the British folklore and physche

[@michw3755]

I come from Bradford where Peter Sutcliffe unfortunately resided and my sister worked with his wife Sonia (I must explain, she was actually a substitute teacher but helped her mum out when she didn't have work), who's mother ran an old people's home in Manningham, an area where he had killed several women. One time she offered my sister a lift into town so she wouldn't have to wait for the bus where a serial killer was on the loose, so my sister actually got a lift into town by the said Yorkshire Ripper in order to avoid said serial killer, the irony is not lost on us 😱🤯

Woo that’s mad, my late husband had met him a few times as I delivered and picked stuff up from where he worked.

1 - *Mark Rowntree.* Born and raised in *Bradford.* (4 victims murdered) 2 - *Stephen Griffiths* aka *"The Crossbow Cannibal."* Born in *Dewsbury,* West Yorkshire and possibly raised there too, but he had lived in *Bradford* for years prior to the killings. (3 victims murdered) 3 - *Donald Neilson* aka *"The Black Panther."* Born and raised in *Bradford.* (4 victims murdered) 4 - And the most famous of all *Peter Sutcliffe* aka *"The Yorkshire Ripper."* Born and raised in *Bradford.* His house is just around the corner from my old school, where his wife still lives today. (13 victims murdered, 9 victims injured, many more suspected). *Bradford* also has links to the serial killer *John Christie* who was born in *Halifax,* West Yorkshire, as his wife was *Halifax* born, but raised in *Bradford* with her *Bradford* born siblings. There's also a strong possibility he worked in *Bradford* for a short period. He's the *"10 Rillington Place"* murderer. (8+ victims murdered) *Bradford* also has a few famous *executioners* in: 1 - *Albert Pierrepoint.* Born and raised in *Bradford.* 2 - *Henry Pierrepoint.* Born in *Normanton on Soar,* Nottinghamshire. Lived in *Bradford* from anywhere between 5 and 20 years depending which source you read. He's the alcoholic father of Albert. 3 - *Thomas Pierrepoint.* Born in *Sutton Bonington,* Nottinghamshire.

We do seem to have our fair share of these people in West Yorkshire

[@andrewcoates6641]

Unfortunately two of the killers featured in the video were residents in my city of Bradford. These were Griffith, the cross bow killer who lived in the same block of flats as a work friend of mine and actually committed one of his murders on camera in the corridor of his floor. The second was Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper. At the time that he was committing his crimes I was a young assistant Scoutmaster in a group that met in a hall overlooking a road junction on the corner of one of the area’s where he went to find some of his target “working girls”. One evening I found two of the young boys watching some of the prostitute’s awaiting a pick up and if they saw a girl get in a car , these boys were making notes of the car registration number’s in the hope of getting information leading to his arrest and a share of the reward for his capture. Alas for all concerned they didn’t succeed in getting his number. And before anybody says that my fellow leaders and I should have stopped the boys from observing the activities of the girls, we are talking about the boys own mother’s and sister’s/ cousins, this was part of their daily lives.

[@eleganzaitself6115]

Thoroughly enjoy this direction of content! Very interesting. It may be a good thing that the Moors Murderers were not in this list as it would be good to see you react to a video that just focuses on them (Ian Brady and Myra Hindley).

[@madabbafan]

There was John Haigh known as 'the acid bath murderer' he would kill his victims then try to dissolve the bodies in barrels of Sulphuric acid. He was caught after the dentures (among other body parts) of his final victim were found as the acid had not dissolved them. He had taken the legal phrase 'corpus delicti' to mean without an actual body he could never be charged, where as it actually refers to the fact there has to be a body of evidence of the crime to bring the case. The drama 'A is for Acid' was made about the murders.

[@debbielough7754]

He wasn't kidding when he said the Yorkshire Ripper terrorised the country - or at least the north. I was tiny at the time, and lived 100 miles from where he was killing women (which is a long way in the UK), and women were terrified. I've read about Amelia Dyer before (but i used to read books on serial killers when I was a teenager) - nobody knows exactly how many babies she killed, because it was the 19th century, and paperwork and policing were not as advanced as now. And horrifically, nobody really cared about the loss of dirt poor babies. Till she was caught, and it came out, and then it led to the introduction of much stricter abortion laws. But it's heartbreaking that women, often in horrible situations themselves, handed over their babies because she promised them that she'd find them safe homes. She was far from the only baby farmer of the time. The Moors murderers should be on the list though. They're still looking for one of their victims.

[@peterb2286]

There's a strong school of thought a member of British royalty was Jack the Ripper. Prince Albert was whisked away to Scotland at the same time that these murders took place and all of a sudden the killing stopped. He was well known for going out at night to seedy parts of London and by all accounts was a bit of a party animal (for the time). Coincidence the murders stopped when he went away? You have to remember Royalty was untouchable in those days. Great video as usual ladies.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Harold Shipman's practice is like a 15 min bus ride from my house. He was caught when another Doctors office noticed Shipman's office had far more deaths than the average. He is now believed to have killed over 250 people. \thank god this is very rare because nobody would expect this from a person who's profession is to save lives wherever possible.

[@kirstie-justbeingme]

Another great video ladies xx I loved the films The Krays, Bronson and a tv drama called Des based on Denis Neilson x IMO , although not classed as a serial killer, the worst was Thomas Hamilton who walked into the gym hall at Dunblane Primary School in Scotland on 13 March 1996 and opened fire on a class of 5 and 6 year old, killing 15 of them and their teacher…. it was horrific 😭 I still light a candle every year for the wee angels

The reason people are fascinated with Jack the Ripper, is because it is an unsolved mystery. If you ever make it to London, I can recommend the guided walk of the Whitechapel, where the murders took place. It's an after dusk walk and is incredibly creepy. I have heard of most of these characters, but not the lady murderers. The tabloid press have a field day when there is a multiple killer, and will take up most of the paper with the grizzly details. And people love it!

[@marymary5494]

Hardy did an incredible job of portraying Bronson.

[@louisemiller4970]

The exclusion of the Moors surprises me, Myra Hindley was described as the most evil woman in Britain. Whether it's because there were only 5 victims, I don't know, but all victims were children, some of whom still haven't been found. They tortured and sexually assaulted the whilst playing The Litttle Drummer Boy, which is a song I can't listen to. I worked as a young staff Nurse in the State Hospital and of Al the women incarcerated I only met maybe 2 or 3 true sociopaths where there was nothing in their eyes and you knew that they would have hurt you very badly without the slightest remorse, emotion, it's very unsettling to look into someone's eyes and see that blank sheet of paper staring back When you look at Hindley and West there's nothing there either. You're right the victims are forgotten, I know a Jack the Ripper thing in London was being protested against as it was said it was forgetting the victims and their descendants,glamorising violence against women which I completely agree with. It shows our society for how it thinks that as long as the Yorkshire Ripper was murdering prostitutes it was ok, panic really only happened when he moved onto other women, then the outcry to catch him really started. In the case of Dennis Nilsen, again a common fallacy it was homosexual men he targeted and because of that, cause in the 70s and 80s, who cared about homosexuals being murdered, not the police, it's reckoned that's how he got away with it for so long. So yeah the victims are usually forgotten and it's the killers we get to know, sad really

And even said “If it wasn’t for the guards watching them, he would off reached over and beat the crap out of him. My Grandad was also questioned, just once tho. For possibly being The Yorkshire Ripper. A another body was found and the police were looking for a middle aged man with a beard and driving a white van. He was pulled over but let go once realising he had nothing to do with the murders.

Interesting video! some of these i had never heard of before (the two female serial killers and the crossbow killer) as others have said i'm surprised the moors murderers were not included in this list. The most well known has to be Jack the ripper but there are a few less well known ones too we had a serial killer here in Suffolk called the Suffolk strangler in 2006 and in just a few short months killed 5 women, he got caught and sentenced to life imprisonment, at the time it received a lot of media attention and was often compared to Peter Sutcliffe.

This is an interesting one. but look up Herbert Armstrong, the "Excuse fingers" killer. Now, he is debatable as there is a slight possiblity that might, just might, have been innocent, but he is thought to have killed a handful of people with Arsenic, usually legal rivals (he is what we UKists call a solicitor) or people who pryed too closely into his affairs. He his known as the "excuse fingers" or the "buttered scone" killer because a woman that Armstrong knew died a few days after he had passed her a buttered scone, that was after testing found to have been laced with a massive dose of arsenic. Armstrong was in financial trouble, and was thought to be either writing himself into wills fraudulently or putting pressure on for them to include them in their will, but, oddly, these were not targetted as victims - otfen they were other solictors he had argued with, or people who were trying to investigate his dodgy conduct. Armstrong was not a nice man - but there is a lot of debate as to whether he was a murderer.

[@peterjackson4763]

I met Harold Shipman at my Dad's retirement party in 1990. I only remember him because of his beard, though I was familiar with his name. My parents had been to dinner with him and his wife. My Dad was a GP in an adjoining town and on a committee with Shipman. He generally killed elderly patients using diamorphine. Some people had suspicions but no evidence was found until he forged the will of a former mayor to get her money. My Dad had to give evidence to the tribunal but could not remember the events of 20 years earlier.

[@chrisshelley3027]

I have heard the name of the baby murderer but I wasn't aware of the number of victims, that was a really harrowing one. The one with Dr Harold Shipman in Manchester, there are estimates of 1200 to 2000+ from looking at patient numbers over that time, but he would also take on the "work" of other doctors which wasn't supposed to happen without any paperwork being done, but the practice of doctors giving over patients if they were busy was known to happen often, I'm surprised that a nurse called Beverly Allot wasn't on the list, similar area to Shipman too, likewise Hindley and Brady, a couple from 1960's Manchester who kidnapped and murdered 5 or 6 children, she was manipulative and just bloody evil, obviously both were but Brady for the most part was besotted by her and so went along with whatever she suggested, my partner worked in the prison service, in uniform but office work, she used to calculate sentences and release dates for prisoners, she had access to information the governess wasn't allowed to see, she was one of three people who had access, this included doctors reports, psychiatric evaluations etc, she worked last off in a sex offenders prison, she once explained to me why rehabilitation doesn't work and how it is a waste of time and money with sex offenders, she did accept that it works for other types of criminals though. Good video, not a subject that I would choose, but it is interesting if In a strange way, if you get the chance to see 10 Rillington Place do so, it's about a murderer, but the most horrific part is that it was filmed in the actual house where the murders happened, yes it's an old film, but how anyone could think that was a good idea I'll never know.

[@HouseOfMitchell]

Yeah I know the Amelia Dyer case pretty well, you can watch a documentary on her online. Also they really should've had Ian Brady and Myra Hindley on here, another couple who were serial killers of children (the moors murders) case. Also Joanna Dennehy, she is one scary woman

Quite apart from the exploits of Amelia Dyer, it is alleged the River Thames is littered with the bones of babies due to abortions, which were only legalised in 1967. Prior to that, 'back-street abortions' in London often entailed the foetus/baby being dumped in the Thames.

@@annemariefleming only victim was his wife And that is under dispute, his family are trying to clear his name. The case attracted a lot of attention, due to the manner he was arrested, the new telegraph system, was used to inform the authorities in US and he was arrested on arrival.

@@annemariefleming . It was Christie who walled his victims up.

As a lot of other commenters have said, the Moors Murderers should have been on this list.

I grew up with the Yorkshire ripper, he killed 2 women in my village and left one for dead she survived. He made our teenage years hell. A man decided to record messages pretending to be him. He had a Sunderland accent so they concentrated oon finding him caused so many problems in the case. Peter Sutcliffe was arrested so many times and let go because of this. I'm 58 years old and still remember this time horrific

[@MartinMilnerUK]

Me too. I was in Huddersfield at the time where he found one of his victims. The girs at Hudds. Uni were absolutely terrified about going out anywhere after studies and we men had to accompany them.

[@FenderTele]

Hi girls I hope your both well. Along with Jack the Ripper, remaining unsolved, there was a series of murders in Glasgow during the late 1960s . These murders were know as the Bible John case.Another similar case to Harold Shipman was John Bodkin Adams ,also a doctor, who was suspected as a serial killer of patients in Eastbourne during the early 1950s

[@rachaelcourtnell7275]

she wasn't the only baby farmer killer back in the past.

[@Louisewolf]

A few things for you to watch in your own time if you enjoy true crime. A series called Des about Denis Nielsen was chilling in its accuracy. Also there is a great programme about jack the ripper where they put a very convincing case forward and claim to prove the identity of the killer called ' the missing evidence, jack the ripper' from 2014 it's a fascinating watch.

[@emmataylor567x5]

I wish I hadn’t heard of any recent serial killers but there was one in my hometown in the UK in the early 2000s called the Ipswich Strangler.

[@robertalaverty5440]

I love debbies new hair cut. Love watching your videos

[@suro_33Mi]

A couple of movies you might be interested in. 1. Appropriate Adult - tv dramadoc about Fred & Rose West. Channel 4. 2. Moors Murders TV documentary about Ian Brady & Myra Hindley. Also Ch 4 I think. I"m shocked that the video you found did not include the moors murders as these have haunted UK since 1960s.

[@LTnews11]

Harold Shipman was scary to me. I was doing my nursing training when it first came out. I was on a night shift and we put the tv on quickly at 6 am because somebody had heard something on the news. I just could not believe it.

[@DiscoRus]

the part regarding the Fred West the space in the pickture is were the house used to be as it was dimolished and turned into a memoral area for the victms

[@SteveInScotland]

The Yorkshire Ripper had murdered one or more non-prostitutes and the fear in the community was off the scale. We were staying with my aunt and uncle for a couple of weeks and the women wouldn’t go out without their husbands, not for any reason. It seemed that everyone else locally was doing the same. Then we heard the police were combing the fields behind the houses looking for him, the sheer terror at that point I will never forget, especially as it got dark. That’s never left me. It was a horrible time. They caught him, he ended up in jail and recently he died and sadly, I did feel a sense of relief that he was gone from the world. I say sadly as I never want to feel relieved that anyone has died, I make an exception here though. It shows how it’s not just the victim or the close relatives of the victim are affected, it’s much wider than that.

[@dianeallen6101]

I lived through the Ripper years as a Bradford teenager. I never left the house without my dad accompanying me. To this day, I can't leave the house alone after dark. Sutcliffe actually murdered the mum of one of my classmates, very sad. I work in the area she was murdered and often thunk of her. I have never wished death on anyone but I must admit to raising a glass of champagne when I heard of Sutcliffe's passing.

[@helenagreenwood2305]

I'm obsessed with true crime I watch a lot of police interrogations and read loads of true crime books while sunbathing in the garden - it's my guilty pleasure - we don't have as many court trial and interrogation videos put out for the public to see here in UK 🇬🇧 as you do over there

[@nitaabbey2278]

Great video as always ladies 👍 surprised the moors murderers(Ian Brady and Myra Hindley) and Beverly Allit weren't included 😐

[@Ellen-Walker]

Interesting video, cheers m'dears.👍. Watching in Lincolnshire uk.

[@suemcbride1106]

Interesting video thanks. I knew about most of them especially Mary Ann Cotton as she was local but I’d never heard of the woman who killed all the babies.

[@Whatinthe-Y]

I was working at the Royal College of General Practitioners when the Harold Shipman trial kicked off. It was intense.

[@davidC1984]

Even as a light hearted channel it would be good for you to react to some individual videos based on the subjects. I'm surprised that Ian Brady and Myra Hindley aren't on this list or Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. I know little of Amelia Dyer, she is largely forgotten now.

[@daveofyorkshire301]

2 Jack - being a doctor in the 1880's would have been a very small select group, of well educated higher class people - it's why the mythos created around Jack clings to it as social commentary too. Being a butcher/hunter/poacher however would have been more likely... knowledge of basic anatomy, especially through repetition and knowledge of the use of knives to do accurate cuts? I've never believed the doctor theory, unless he was "connected" or some kind of Jekyll and Hyde/dual personality...

[@ftumschk]

... BASIC anatomy being the operative word. The mutilations and "operations" carried out by Jack the Ripper were very crude, and nothing that he did would have required detailed medical knowledge or surgical experience.

[@CandleLight1974]

There is more evidence to suggest that Jack the Ripper was a butcher, rather than doctor or surgeon.

[@ftumschk]

@@CandleLight1974 Agreed, although perhaps not a very good butcher either, assuming he was one :)

[@Luminara1981]

This content has ME written all over it!!!! I know it's unsavoury , but it's fascinating.

[@titchs9098]

I recently read a book about Amelia Dyer and baby farming. What she did to those babies was horrific. I’m sure others would disagree, it it’s a shame we no longer have the noose for people like that.

[@deeboneham2738]

I am sure it happened in other countries and in other places in the UK but they just didn’t get caught

[@matthewwalker5430]

The thing with Amelia Dyer is she was very good at manipulating the system and staying out of suspicion. She was really more of a con artist in many ways, just 1 that murdered to achieve her aims. She moved all over the country, so unlike Jack the Ripper, there was never really a frenzied panic whipped up in a specific area. In fact, many of those she did away with were illegitimate babies handed over to her 'care', so there is no record of their existence, which is tragic. However, it probably explains why she isn't more well known. Because there was no record of her victims we just don't know how many she had. She is suspected of 200-400 based on how long she got away with it and various missing babies she could be connected to, but she 'only' has a confirmed victim count of 6. That is still more than Jack's confirmed count but Amelia was caught and, sadly, baby-farming and the murky world that existed around it was much more common in her time (just not to the extent she went to) whereas Jack was an outlier even in his day.

Love watching you two girls, nice that you like this country as much as you do, we love you guys over the other side of the pond. It will be nice to have you over here. Idaho students murders has been the worst for me as seeing all their social media content and how lovely they were and especially the relationship two of the girls had all that time so so sad. That will stay with me the rest of my life.

[@lovelifeandcrafts5003]

I did a study on Fred and Rose West. There's a full documentary on them. I think you guys should give it a watch with commentary . Hope you're all well and sending love to the doggos xx

[@atay6413]

I'm a Brit from Bradford and we have had a few horrible freaks but I have never heard of Amelia Dyer. By the way, Stephen Griffiths wanted to be named The Crossbow Canibal so we don't call him that. Now that's a typical British passive-aggressive move.

[@ianprince1698]

the trouble with Savil was that the police thought these girls were making up stories so we're reluctant to investigate, there were other cases with a similar problem involving gangs of child groomers

[@balthazarasquith]

I don't buy that at all. The police and intelligence services knew full well what was going on. I subscribe to the theory he was part of a honey pot scheme blackmailing other celebs/politians/royalty etc much like Epstein

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

Peter Sutcliffe the Yorkshire ripper was thought to be around the Sunderland area to begin with. Police decided to question anyone that fit the physical description of Sutcliffe, unfortunately for my grandparents at the time they lived there and my grandfather was his double so he was questioned in their kitchen by police and he had to provide alibis of his where abouts the times of the murders

[@nicoladolby2154]

Excellent video girls! There’s a lot of theories about Whitechapel Jack, but for me the best book ever written on the subject is, “The Crimes, Detection and Death of Jack The Ripper,” by former Harvard professor Martin Fido. I also agree with his conclusions on the issue, though I feel there may have been a 6th victim, Martha Tabram, who may have been his first.
