Judith Roberts, 14, was murdered on 7 June 1972, after leaving home to ride her bike in Wigginton, Staffordshire. She was found partially hidden beneath hedge clippings and plastic fertiliser bags face down later that day after going missing in a field north of Tamworth, Staffordshire; she had nineteen head wounds and had been battered to death. [122] 17-year-old Andrew Evans was wrongfully convicted and served 25 years in jail after confessing to the murder but had his conviction quashed in 1997. [123] [124] On the evening of Roberts’s death, Sutcliffe was driving to visit his fiancée, Sonia, at a hospital in Bexleyheath. [102] He would then have had to return to Bingley, West Yorkshire, where he worked nightshifts, which would have taken Sutcliffe within a short distance of the crime scene, Comberford Lane. [125] [126] Sutcliffe also drove a grey Ford Escort which is identical to a vehicle that four eyewitnesses observed trailing Judith as she made her way to local shops at the time of her disappearance. [122] George Oldfield and other senior individuals involved in the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper had consulted senior FBI special agents John Douglas and Robert Ressler in an effort to construct a psychological profile of the Yorkshire Ripper in 1979. According to Ressler, after Oldfield played the tape, Ressler said to Oldfield: "You do realise, of course, that the man on the tape is not the killer, don't you?" and Oldfield chose to ignore this observation. [80] has made it clear that he hates prostitutes. Many people do. We, as a police force, will continue to arrest prostitutes. But the Ripper is now killing innocent girls. That indicates your mental state and that you are in urgent need of medical attention. You have made your point. Give yourself up before another innocent woman dies". [45]

Kudos however to the sergeant and young constable who arrested Sutcliffe and realised they had stumbled into something much bigger.An interesting read, well written and researched - a man at the height of his killing while I was being born, this is the British Ted Bundy. he just didn't really stop at any section of society in the same way: Bundy was interested in a certain type of girl, that being college attending, brown haired and slim. Sutcliffe really did see any woman as fair game. And he had more killings over a longer period of time, a larger force chasing him, and as much paperwork involved as the Stasi had in Berlin when the wall fell! *possible exaggeration perhaps, not sure the Stasi had anywhere as much paperwork to chase round as the Yorkshire police!

The failure to take advantage of Birdsall's anonymous letter and his visit to the police station was yet again a stark illustration of the progressive decline in the overall efficiency of the major incident room. It resulted in Sutcliffe being at liberty for more than a month when he might conceivably have been in custody. Thankfully, there is no reason to think he committed any further murderous assaults within that period. [87] Possible victims [ edit ] Byford Report [ edit ] Brannen, Keith (ed.).

West Yorkshire Police were criticised for being inadequately prepared for an investigation on this scale. It was one of the largest investigations by a British police force [73] and predated the use of computers. Information on suspects was stored on handwritten index cards. Aside from difficulties in storing and accessing the paperwork, it was difficult for officers to overcome the information overload of such a large manual system.
