As you can read in the link above - my offer to find the real Ripper was rejected by Police - just an early example (1979) of how the force decided that one day they would "get" me. I was aware of the extraordinary incompetence of British (and, indeed, global) police 40 years ago. It has got worse.
My "blood red vinyl" would have infuriated Sutcliffe who would have made a mistake and provoked exposure. Police rejected my suggestion (as hinted at by this writer and carried by all the national papers at the time). As a result, police failed to find him for two more years, allowing him to kill again and again. An echo of the Levi Bellfield case by stupid Surrey Police when Marjoram failed to find Levi despite him having a flat 50 seconds from where Millie Dowler was last seen. DOH!
Do watch the excellent Martin Clunes MANHUNT on ITV.
I'm available for interview for any future Yorkshire Ripper movie.
