Really shocked me to hear that he died of covid. It’s so easy to associate what he did with just the 70s and 80s, but he’s been here living his life this whole time. Kinda chilling

Living in Leeds and often playing football on soldiers field in roundhay always makes me stop and remember that these things actually happened. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that people like this exist and things like this actually happened.

It is so sad that people have the gall to put in "tips" or fake evidence, ultimately hindering police from solving cases. Especially, murder/kidnapping/assault crimes. I hope you're happy with yourselves.

I don't understand how he got away with it for so long. He doesn't even seem good at killing, he basically leaves evidence every time!! Imagine if the police had just cared about violence against sex workers from the beginning 🙄

I will never understand people with their destain of sex workers even though they are being murdered, those women were people too, not to mention most of them had children.

It's disgusting how the deaths of the prostitutes were just passed off as an occupational hazard.

Most of them were mothers who were just trying to provide for their children):

This story really hits me hard because my great grandfather who is named Alan Harman was actually brought in for questioning because they thought he was the Yorkshire ripper and they wanted to inspect his teeth but he had no teeth he sadly passed away in March 2020

The more i delve into true crime the more I realize the police system is inherently broken. I feel like a large portion of people who even seek out those roles are so lazy, narcissistic and emotionally volatile yet cold, that they can't possibly do their job, or at least every task a policeman role requires currently. It's statistically proven that most police show antisocial psychology. Which it you're required to do difficult, forceful actions, that might be ideal. But having these traits is simply not conducive to solving crimes involving actual every day people. I feel like police often write off these killers as suspects because they identify with them. Cops are mostly the reason cases don't get solved especially when the victims are women, sex workers and minorities

My grandfather was coincidentally near two of the crime scenes so was brought in for questioning a few times, he was very happy they caught the real guy

There was a fake tip off that he would ‘attack a student within the walls’ (or something like that) referencing the part of York city within the old castle walls. My mum was at York uni at the time and was unable to go home for the weekend. She was so scared that she barricaded herself in her room for two days not daring to leave. I can’t imagine the fear that women felt during that time.

Would love to see anything about Juan Vallejo Corona. My mother loved to scare me with stories of him!

My mum lived in Leeds as a teenager while this was happening, says they where constantly watching over their shoulders. Girls weren't allowed out on their own, my grandma was scared to let her walk to and from school alone.

He could have been caught much earlier with some smart police work... It's a fact that he was interviewed twice by the police, had a cast of his shoe taken, but the policemen just couldn't connect the dots... Even his coworkers jokingly called him ripper, but there is no evidence anybody suspected something sinister about him, not even his wife...

"A job that comes with inherit risk of murder". Humanity, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm from barnsley Yorkshire and this has always fascinated me for some weird reason Also one good thing came from covid it killed him

All that evidence and it took them years to catch him? omg it infuriates me so much and the public not really caring much about the victims cause almost all were sex workers is way worst

Living in Bradford as an international student I’m so glad he was caught. I can’t even imagine living during the 70s in fear

He was not a prostitute killer... He was an opportunity killer who would have killed any women.sad reality is that sex worker have to work in the dark.Those who were able to survive most of them were not sex worker because they were closer to street where someone could hear them or see them.sex worker unsuspecting of his intention would go in secluded places were no-one could hear or see them hence very thin chance of survival

Well lovely, sitting here in Yorkshire and watching this.

The photo at 5.22 is not Jean Jordan, it is of Joan Harrison who was murdered in Preston in 1975 and for a time thought to be another Ripper victim. Subsequently it was found that she was killed by a different man.

If anyone wants any more cases to be interested in, heres a few that hit me harder than expected; ●The waterbed case/Josh Phillips & Maddie Clifton Case ●Junko furuta case ●Anime Studio Massacre And here's a KZfaqr who is good at going in depth in cases, *Eleanor Neale* **(She covered all those cases by the way!)*

It disgusts me that the police were so focused on Sutcliffe being this "modern day ripper" that they completely disgarded any evidence to the contrary and characterized so many victims as "sex workers" when...they weren't.

The police definitely dropped the ball on this one smh if he never turned himself in, he would of lived a regular life.

Nice to see the right pronunciation of Yorkshire

Their reasoning of ‘they should have expected this they are hookers’ just isn’t right at all. You can get murdered doing any line of work, you work as a cashier? Robbery, hospital? Patient snaps and stabs the person with a needle of air or medicine. Police? Well that one is just plain obvious, but when they get killed you don’t just say they should have expected it, they were just trying to provide a life for themselves and their families in a world that is harsh against many.

one of the only positives to come out of the pandemic

I was born in Bradford and my Mum told me how terrified her and her friends were to even step foot out of their doors 😔 Believe it or not, Peter actually taught my father how to play cricket, he helped out at the local community center and my Dad was so shocked when he was arrested 🤯 Said he would have never have guessed

FINALLY A VIDEO ABOUT YORKSHIRE!!!!!!

What is it about serial killers and their intense hatred for prostitutes??

Sexwork is terribly dangerous and *does* have an inherent risk of murder. I don't see why that means society wouldnt need to give them justice, and urgently want to catch a man who was murdering people!

Where are all my Shire folk at?

I am sad that Buzzfeed: Unsolved is ending. Maybe they could go over the disappearances of Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt, and Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 in True Crime if this show is still up. Also, the Oakville blobs in Supernatural! If this show is still up.

another example of just how much misogyny kills

I'm glad he refused treatment for covid_19. It's a shame some other illness didn't take him much sooner

This should be named “ how they didn’t catch..” as it sure did take the authorities long enough. To think of how many women were being brutalized one after the other and all the while the police had a him as a main suspect.They had his sketch, they had questioned him. All they had to do is follow him. Infuriating when authorities drop the ball like this. It would have been different had the majority of victims not been sex workers. Amazing how the public is so ready to dismiss these women’s lives as dispensable because of their circumstances. Serial killers always start with those who are vulnerable, but it’s only a matter of time before they start killing women, children and men. Anyone with a wife, daughter, sister should have been concerned. Thank god for M. Thatcher and her leadership.

You wonder why people hate the police.

Is Buzzfeed: unsolved supernatural still happening? I have been checking back to the channel for quite a while and haven’t seen any updates.

every criminal always gets caught i swear, why even murder 😂

Its crazy to think this wasn't that long ago, especially when you think London police are supposed to be really good now, what terrible police officers

The Yorkshire ripper case has always fascinated me, I grew up in the Yorkshire area he used as his killing rounds and is weird to think that something so evil could have happened in the area.

I lived through it and remember the fear nationwide let alone in the north of england.This case has always haunted me,i think we felt relieved when peter parted this world.....tragic loss of life,he left carnage.....

Tis spooky season

Ooooh I don’t think I’ve heard about this before!! Should be interesting

Its absolutely horrific any of this ever happened, its sobering that these murders happened so close to home! I have driven through roundhay multiple times and i am only just outside of the area, a couple roads down and i would be living in the area of those poor women

why was the most surprising aspect of this horrific man's life the fact that he died from COVID?????

You want to know something scary, the Yorkshire ripper was caught just behind the the school my mum attended in Sheffield

my auntie was the police sergeant on this case, megan winterburn, even went undercover :)))

WEST YORKSHIRE REPRESENT 🙌. But obviously not by him 🤣🤣

i just finished watching this documentary on netflix!! crazyyyy story

Am i the only one who assumed Ryan and Shane were the only hosts??😳🤣

Now t hat's an interesting story I have never heard of...that was a good watch :) TY

This case scared me as a child in the 70s. Especially when he came to Manchester. We lived very near where Jean Jordan was murdered. And when he started murdered students, my sister was at university in Liverpool and I remember my parents pleading with her not to go out on her own in case he spread his wings fro Yorkshire and Manchester areas. Which I'm sure he did. I am convinced he killed many more women and not just in the North West.

I grew up fearing Robert Black....He still haunts Scotland

*Glad that Buzzfeed Unsolved create a content with regards of these.*

my mother had an encounter with him at a club and my grandpa had several encounters, including a near fist fight.

This case always makes me so angry

I'm sure someone will have mentioned this but when you talk about Jean Jordan you show pictures of Joan Harrison who wasn't a ripper victim.

It's wasn't a miracle, it was incompetence 😂

I’m not sure who this lady narrator is but she doesn’t have a soothing voice! Bring back the other guy who used to narrate these!

Omg my grandma was telling me about this earlier lmao it was a scary time for her she wasn't allowed outside at night bcos her parents were paranoid

can you do a video on Ivan MIlat please

The dehumanisation of sex workers by police and the public alike is heartbreaking, and ultimately delayed Sutcliffe getting caught. Trying to make ends meet for you and your family, all while in such dangerous circumstances and likely dire poverty should not be frowned upon

3:10 literally watching this video from about 1 mile away from there, daunting

This underlines just what a nasty, cold place Britain was in the 70s and 80s and how bitter and judgemental many of the people around then were (many of course from a much older generation no longer with us who would be well over 100 if they were). No question that those attitudes contributed to the Yorkshire ripper getting away with it as long as he did. Much the same thing happened in the Denis Nielsen case too. The victims "deserved it" because many of them were "down and outs" and, heaven forbid, gay. It was almost like people thought being gay was worse than murdering somebody.

Oh brilliant! I’m so pleased there’s a good upload that’s not that super unfunny guy with the weird neck tie!

Jesus.... what a monster

It's so interesting to see stuff from so close to home and not just American stuff - my dad's cousin was the one to put him in the car

Police are a complete joke sometimes.

I miss Shane and Ryan

Brought up in Manchester in the 1970s. Remember the fear clearly. Family lived opposite the parents of victim Jean Jordan

I drive past the road he was apprehended on regularly

My father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate saw this man at a grocery store once in 2003. He will never forget that day.

Is this another one of those "Jack the ripper" copycats they talked about?

Fun fact, he died in a hospital 5 min walk for my old school

Glad English ones are being covered

Initially given 30 years. (Later revised to life)

That detective was probably like I told y'all!!

It's even more sadder when you realize as a human race (sociology) humans did this to each other. Politicians are not the only ones.

my secondary school used the moor where josephine whitaker was found as a communal area for lunch times... had no idea someone had been murdered right where i was eating my lunch

They only caught him by accident after he hid his weapons after he was stopped by police while relieving himself

That photo in the thumbnail shockingly resembles Richard Hammond from Top Gear

I found myself saying out loud “what the eff!!” Many times during this video

"nevah turn yer baaack on the ripper ... the rippah !"

covid did one good thing

My grandma was 22 and living in the exact same area and at the same time as the killings

Police knew that there were two killers in the Ripper mix, the Real Ripper obviously being the main culprit and also the man who was sending them messages, the other was a copycat killer. After the arrest and the mental home deal with Sutcliffe for his confessions there was never a word said about the copycat and what happened to him. But Sutcliffe was that man. Thats why there are so many unanswered questions and why nothing makes sense and why the copycat was airbrushed out of the picture.

WOW....inept police department or what!!!!

"Sex workers." It's prostitutes.

Very similar to the movie holy spider based on true stories in Iran.

Rippaah

My uncle was questioned because someone called the police to say he sounded like the man on the tape. He sounds nothing like him, he's Geordie for starters and the bloke on the tape sounds like he can barely string a sentence together.

this is weird to watch because I live in Leeds

They got Grell Sutcliff's name from this dude 👀 #blackbutler

Yeah David. I am so tired of that picture and that dude and just damn

WOAH I had absolutely no idea that he died last year. I don't remember seeing it reported anywhere! Proper shocked me just then!😂

I watched the Netflix Doc series about this topic

Am i the only one who thinks he looks like richard hammond

I just watched this on netflix, guess u guys did too huh?..................

Slipknot will release a new song about him and his story tomorrow.
