The Forgotten Victims | Part 01
Laura Richards analyses and deconstructs the murders and attacks on lone women committed by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS throughout the series) in the north east of England in the 1960s and 1970s.
This case happened before Laura started her career at New Scotland Yard. It was the very reason her unit was set up.
Listen and find out why Laura believes this is one of the most misunderstood cases of our time and why we should stop referring to this serial killer as The Yorkshire R*****
Join Laura each week in the intelligence cell as she behaviourally breaks down each attack and highlights which cases she believes to be linked, why PS did what he did and how he was allowed to get away with it for so long.

Customer Reviews
Love this smart, thoughtful and compassionate podcast
Laura is a queen - so intelligent, an amazing educator and she sheds light on the issues that everyone should know about. I’ve become a better advocate because of her and this podcast!
Some sense of closure - The Naomi Dancy murder
After listening to “A Ghost Story” podcast, I felt a desire to see if there was more information, or groups of people out there who might offer a continued conversation, with regards to the deaths of a number of people related to a Dr John Horace Dancy. “A Ghost Story” was gripping in its own way, but failed to fully dissect the information surrounding the deaths of Dr John Horace Dancy’s brother in law, a first wife, a father in law through a second marriage, a second wife with an unborn child; all who died within a few years of one another at the same address.
This podcast goes some way to revealing what I, along with many other listeners, believe was the more plausible explanation of the brother-in-law’s and first wife’s deaths, and to some extent, provides some closure an investigation that was so terribly rushed by the Met Police in the first instance. The podcast also highlights the injustices towards women at the time of the original crime, and rather disturbingly, those that continue to this day. It provides a thorough dissection of facts, and provides reasoning with good substance so as to build a case to be believed.
This is a must listen for those that either enjoyed or didn’t enjoy “A Ghost Story.”
Nicola Bulley case(Coroner`s inquest): Laura is the queen of the true shero
In general, a coronial inquest is a public hearing where the coroner reviews and goes through all the evidence to identify the manner and cause of death. Witnesses were called to give evidence of their knowledge and understanding based on the circumstances of the death. I love your analysis of the coronial inquest and this was a significant event given the speculation and public interest surrounding this case. #NicolaBulley #Lancashire
