DirtySanchez Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Will it change my opinion of it being a group of adults who fancied a piss up holiday and their kids were an inconvenience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted March 22, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2019 Can't be bothered watching it tbh but the fact that ever since she went missing they have reffered to Madaleine in the past tense speaks volumes.

Not in Crawley Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yeah the book is great, it’s sort of a series of some of the best parts but the bloke who plays Ozzie is brilliant in his dreadfulness - sounds like a pissed up Aussie (maybe he mis-heard the casting director) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Just watched a recording of Harry's Heroes and can't believe I was getting excited about a nothing match. Apart from no match against the Germans can be considered nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiwhite Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 The Yorkshire Ripper Files on iplayer. I’m a big Ripper buff, but this has been thoroughly splendid with lots of previously unseen footage. Re the hoax tape....was that also played at Burnden ? If anyone has seen the programme, who were Sheff Utd playing in episode 2 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was truly stunning was that GMP, on the basis of one of the murders on their patch, traced a new £5 note to Sutcliffe's employers' wage packets. This meant 241 possible suspects. As there had been separate WYP on tyre track limiting it to 41 models of car, and Sutcliffe had already been interviewed several times after being spotted in red-light districts, there is no doubt he should have been identified sooner. And then there were the stunningly similar descriptions from two of those attacked before he smartened up his act. But WYP were obsessed with the hoax tapes from Sunderland.

Spot on Malc,they were wholly obsessed with those tapes. A book, think it was Wicked Beyond Evil,showed a detective was also due to arrest Sutcliffe when the detective returned from his New Year break. By then though,the Ripper had already been caught.

The myth around the tapes and letter iirc was the mention of a murder in Preston in 1975 & the belief that it hadn't been known to anyone outside that area. A trawl through the press afterwards found it had been mentioned in the Daily Mirror and linked to the ripper murders. There was something about the letter writer being a certain type secretor too (?) & the science at the time around it was flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 ^ cheers fella. I never knew all that. Has echoes of the interchange killer who was only caught years later on a random dna database check.

Ive read quite a bit on it too, including one God awful book by a bloke who insisted there were two killers and he knew who the other bloke was. It was the late 90s when it came out and he accused the other bloke of both the Harrison murder and the Ripper tapes. The author had even mithered Wilma McCanns kids with his half baked theories.

Aye, I remember that. Utterly disgusting wasn’t it ? Always had a strange fascination with serial killers since learning as a kid that my dad did the roof on the house where the evil Moors Murderers tortured that poor child. Only from watching the Ripper Files though,did I learn that Jayne MacDonald lived 7 doors from Wilma McCann and babysat her kids. That’s so eerie and spooky.

Duck Egg Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 ^ I had the same fascination as a young lad. Once drove over to Hattersley to have a look at the house on Wardle Brook Avenue. The council demolished it a few years later because of folk like me having a gawp! I did some stuff at work several years ago, when a cold case team looking into the Lesley Molseed murder wanted to see some of our old records. It turned out to be the best afternoon I ever had there! That was another case that was solved years later by a random DNA check. Too late alas for poor Stefan Kisko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
