Why I Made The Ripper | The Story Behind The Documentary

[@ohshardo]

A close family friend was a victim of the Yorkshire Ripper and it really hit home seeing this documentary being made. I'm glad there's something out there addressing and documenting what happened. I will always remember my mum telling me how scared she was to leave the house to work not knowing whether or not she would make it home that evening.

[@ShadyKray]

I'm so sorry to hear that I really am. My mum got offered a lift by him when she was walking home from work in Halifax, she told me it wasn't until the news broke they'd caught him she realised exactly who it was that had offered her a lift. I'm sorry about your friend.

Not to be or sound rude but what victim was it. Horrible man rotting in hell now which is good

[@benlawless9539]

I thought this series beautifully captured the sheer chaos that these tragedies caused. Very much like a "Wolf in the Henhouse" kind of paranoia. The focus was never on Sutcliffe, but the atmosphere he created and hid himself away in. The police chasing dead leads, their staunch and almost deliberate sullying of the victims personal lives to fit their idea of who they were chasing, their complete incompetence in finding and catching a monster of this magnitude, and the tragic consequences of their total lack of response to MUCH earlier warning signs of Sutcliffes behavioral patterns in attacks AS EARLY as 1969. Beautifully done, all of you!

[@Alan74_ynwa]

Are the victims kids happy with this documentary?

[@NG..83]

I watch this today it's really good... it's mad how they questioned him 9 times shocking police work...

[@jacobdean4833]

It's good. I like the more independent feel to a documentary. Specially when it comes to stuff like this.

[@darrenfield7060]

Andy Laptew said he took Maureen Long out to a pub after her attack to see if she could spot her attacker and that he spent £78.. absolute rubbish as you think a pint of lager/bitter would’ve been around 40p at that time.

[@archstanton8670]

40p back then was around £2.40 now. £78 back then was around £457 now. I actually believe him.

[@darrenfield7060]

@@archstanton8670 so he’d have spent £457 on just taking Maureen Long out to a dance as he’s stated.. considering you’d get a pint for £3 in Bradford.. over 150 drinks.. and considering he wouldn’t have been able to drink as he was undercover 😂😂😂

[@darrenfield7060]

@@archstanton8670 wouldn’t have been able to splash the cash as he’d have blown his cover 😂😂😂

[@archstanton8670]

Yeah, you have a point in fairness. I think in reality he probably had a few pints and she got leathered. He may have bought her some spirits and a few rounds in for her mates possibly then taxis and a takeaway. He probably spent a good few quid but not as much as he’s stating.

[@darrenfield7060]

@@archstanton8670 I used to believe everything Laptew said up to that statement.There’s a KZbin upload about a month ago on Roger Parnell’s KZbin,Laptew states he was on a task force that searched the scene of Wilma McCann’s murder,he gets that site wrong by about 400 metres(truely shocking if he was actually on this task force) even if he wasn’t how the fuck he gets it so wrong is unbelievable,also gets others sites wrong and states Sutcliffe place a bed sheet over Patricia Atkinson and stabbed her through the sheet🤔whilst alive he never once produced this police notebook where he said he thought Sutcliffe was the Ripper,He said he was berated by Dick Holland in front of others when he went to see him but Holland didn’t remember this and no others ever verified this,why?

[@danielgardecki1046]

*Peter Sutcliffe* from *Bradford, West Yorkshire, England,* who was just 1 of at least 3 famous serial killers from *Bradford* in the same decade. The Maths and English block at my old school, is just around the corner from his house, where his wife still lives today. One of his victims was killed less than a mile down the road from me. I won't be watching this documentary for a while at least, as I already know the story. I'll probably just skip through it looking for some locations to add to *IMDB* like I did with the *Manhunt: The Search for the Yorkshire Ripper* (1999) documentary by *ITV,* who have another documentary about him on the way soon. I've just noticed the cast credits for the 1999 documentary are a bit of a mess, so I'll probably end up sorting them out too.

[@johnnyramblefinely2430]

The focus should be on Sutcliffe because if you knew anything about it you would know the police offered him a deal whereby if he confessed to all the attacks and cleared the slate he would not stand trial and go straight to Park Lane mental hospital for 10 years to satisfy the public. This is fact. The judge did not accept this after his confession and as you know he did stand trial. But the reason they offered it to Sutcliffe was because they knew he wasn't responsible for all the attacks but were in fact just trying to draw a line under it. The murders didn't stop after Sutcliffes arrest. They were just called "Ripper style" murders. This is the real scandal but of course no-one will go near it with a barge pole.

[@teamofone7937]

I binge watched it. It was amazing but very sad of course

Mr R.J.P. Warren. Deputy Chairman of West Yorkshire Police Authority.... “It was known in the top echelons of the police that two men were involved in the Yorkshire Ripper series of murders”. 1983. Ian Smith. Editor of Ch. Con. Ronald Gregory’s Memoirs.... “I agree with the premise that Sutcliffe was not responsible for all the murders”.... Brian Marriner. Author of “A century of Sex Killers”.... “I don’t think now that Sutcliffe did all the killings he confessed to “ Chief Superintendent Keith Hellewell.... "Sutcliffe had to have an accomplice on some of the murders."

When the hoax was a guy from Sunderland, castletown, that scared the shait out of us given that I also live in castletown Sunderland.

[@makeitsonumberone1358]

Why didn't they metion that he was caught in the show? 2014 i think? That realy miffed me as they made a big thing of the hoax leading the police down a different parth.

[@chrishobson6431]

Is great seeing millenials take this sibject on. And are shocked how folk behaved back then.... it still exists today..... why donwe slow down when we see a crash????

[@cappyjones]

Ellena Wood's accent sounds like music! 😍🥰

[@wanefelicia8779]

Might give this doc series a glance, netflix keeps putting out good stuff!

[@trailersfromhell2539]

Overall it was okay, but left much to be desired. Would have liked to see it sift through more details of the evidence, crime scenes, the investigation and witnesses. The feminist part was annoying as hell, when it was obvious for anyone to see that the police invested enormous resources to the case, and a bunch of women complain about the police and society at large not taking it seriously enough, while also acknowledging that society at large, including men, where at a boiling point due to the killer not being caught.

[@makeitsonumberone1358]

I forwarded them bits on, getting offended by men asking if they wanted to be escorted home HOW DARE THEY! 🤦‍♂️

[@doppelbanger5797]

Wasn't much different from the hundreds of other ripper docs, nothing new in the way of facts about the case, what's the point of making something that's says nothing that hasn't been said countless times before ?

[@Alan74_ynwa]

Profit.... They didn't pay anyone a single dime!

[@aaryaredkar8330]

Lmao i thought they were talking about Stephen

[@SnoopDwg]

0:58 Is that Ted Bundy?

[@kemarmecin5401]

I just finished it and all along towards the last episode, I had this question in my mind - could they have met him already during the earlier round of inquiry and just let that slip away? And I was right. I still think his murders were delibrate and he should have rotten in a prison cell.

[@steviewonder7495]

They met him 9 times.

[@Alan74_ynwa]

Did you REALLY watch it??? Obviously not!!

[@chrishobson6431]

Bit of a prick trick to change the name of the programe at last minuite

[@arielsupport2553]

We respected our police then they were real coppers they'd give you a clip round the ear and take you back to your parents house not at all like Now I'm From The North Riding of Yorkshire my cousins best friend a nurse in Leeds was a victim of Peter Sutcliffe Godbless the victimd each and every one of these Ladies i was 5 yrs of age in 1974

[@dreizehn5053]

Why do you call your Product "The Yorkshire Ripper", when it is not about The Yorkshire Ripper???

[@Alan74_ynwa]

Shock and awe even though the victims kids hate the media name but they didn't care.

[@steviewonder6952]

ripper comment below is 7.36 mark and 7.55 mark.

[@bluecheese4877]

The country didn’t ‘allow him’ to get away with it. Pole police work delayed his capture. The appalling feminist bias and fictitious ‘angles’ portrayed in the program ruins it for curious and interested viewers

[@pablobar6379]

I want to know who came up with the name ripper? He used a hammer mostly didnt he?

[@mollywalton8477]

It was because the way he killed women/prostitutes was similar to jack the ripper

[@darrenfield7060]

The newspapers came up with the term The Yorkshire Ripper

[@snomoco]

Misandry at it's best.

[@djsimonrossprice9400]

No disrespect to you "young uns" But you've no idea if you weren't there. Your so outragged by the time but if you weren't there you've no idea.....!!!!!

[@Alan74_ynwa]

You have no idea either as you have not lived this life for the last 44yrs. I have.

[@WiseGuy02]

The series was just a man bashing exorcise. It's rubbish. Your average woke Netflix series.

[@tokesalotta1521]

Had to stop watching the series as it was becoming about feminism. Women were being murdered, families terrorized, but some spoiled privileged women were marching, making it about themselves, and feminism -- and criticizing police, and society. Imagine if they spent that time and energy criticizing the killer, or even trying to find him. Could people please stop misrepresenting their propaganda as documentaries?

[@jackzotter903]

Say it louder

[@gracerushton6546]

you can’t get mad at women for being angry at shoddy police work in a case where the killer directly targeted them

[@ririschannelx]

WOMEN were killed ffs, how is it not about that

[@wanefelicia8779]

Seems u just dont get it..a serial killer spec targeting women and u say it is not a womens issue ? 😂🤣 wow snowflake

[@wanefelicia8779]

The police MISERABLY FAILED IN THIS CASE AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, THEY RIGHTLY DESERVE CRITICISM FOR SUCH FAILURES... WHETHER YOUR BOOTLICKING STATIST ASS EMBRACES THAT TRUTH OF NOT CUPCAKE 🤡😘😘😘
