    What's really frustrating is that during the Yorkshire Ripper case, the evidence against Peter Sutcliffe was ignored because Detective Oldfield was so obsessed with that tape. He actively told his men not to follow those enquiries so they could focus on the tape. Until he died he refused to admit he'd done anything wrong.

    Dogs are very intuitive, with that being said:
    In the late 80’s my mother who was in her 20’s was given an old poodle whom she hesitantly decided to keep. While traveling from my grandmothers town in Germany back to her town she comes across a single light at an intersection with railroad tracks. No one is around, it’s dark and the dog is asleep in the back, but all of a sudden this blind, toothless and old poodle who never even barked growls the deepest growl my mother has ever heard. As she turns to see what’s causing the dog’s reaction, her head turns to the backseat but her attention is caught by a man who appeared from the woods and is in extremely close proximity reaching for the door handle. My mother hits the gas and as she looks in her rear view mirror she sees the guy slowly walk back into the woods. As per her, she’s happy she decided to keep this dog. I’m glad she did too.
    (True story)

      @@LazyMasquerade The second case was what upset me the most because of John Humble. The conviction makes sense, but the time sentenced should've been much longer, and he shouldn't have been released early, since he (unknowingly, yet knew full well), basically caused the death of three more people, which meant that he knew that more could die, but not the amount. It makes sense that the investigator quit after finding that out, too, because he felt kind of responsible for making such a significant error in who he thought was the killer.

It’s hard to fathom how purely evil some people can be, and for such terribly selfish reasons. My only solace is that he can’t hurt other people, since he’s been caught, which has hopefully provided the family some measure of peace and closure, and that child killers are not viewed fondly in prison, even amongst other killers.

      The Ripper case was incompetent from start to finish; the obsession over the tape and letters was just the tip of the iceberg. The police decided very early on that the Ripper was deliberately targetting prostitutes, even though one of his victims was a schoolgirl and another an older housewife; neither was involved in the sex industry. The truth was Sutcliffe targetted vulnerable women, it just so happened that a lot of prostitutes are vulnerable.
      The cops were so blinkered that when women who had been attacked but managed to escape came forward, they were dismissed out of hand because they didn't fit the police's idea of a 'Ripper victim', i.e. they weren't prostitutes. One such victim, 14 year old Tracey Browne, was attacked but managed to get away. The description she gave police of her attacker's appearance was that of Peter Sutcliffe, she even went back to the police later when the Ripper case was dominating the headlines, but each time she was dismissed and ignored.
      Worst of all, different police officers actually interviewed Sutcliffe something like seven times over the course of the investigation, but because the operation was so massive and organisation of paper records so chaotic, nobody knew this until after his arrest. Individual officers were just doing their own thing, with little communication, terrible record keeping, and a complete lack of competent leadership. As the video states, Sutcliffe was eventually caught by accident for a driving offence - not by the police force leading the investigation, but by a force in a different county he happened to be visiting.
