The Who, the What, the Where, the When, the How and the Why takes you to the Who. And that's where the real work begins.

I'm Laura Richards, Criminal Behavioral Analysts, Formanoo Scotland Yard, and my first Crime Analyst case happened before the start of my career at New Scotland Yard.

But its legacy has wide-reaching consequences, even now.

I'll be analysing the Yorkshire Manchester murders, the murders and near misses in the north of England in the 1960s, 70s and 80s,

the brutal attacks on known females, committed by Peter Sutcliffe.

This case was the very reason my unit was set up at New Scotland Yard. There are always lessons to be learned to prevent future murders, and there are always patterns and clues to be uncovered and discovered by a case-obsessed crime analyst.

Now this is a case people think they know, but it's a case where fiction became fact. A case where I've had to question and disregard most of what I was told, starting with the popularised title by which this killer became known.

Across this series I'll be interviewing family members and people involved in the case. My start point is always the victimology and analysing the murders and the near misses, the linkage analysis and the crime scenes and the crime scene behaviour of this prolific serial killer.

So why did Sutcliffe do what he did? That's the number one question that everyone asked me.

Will come join me in the intelligence cell every week as we deconstruct this case and figure it out.

The first episode of Crime Analyst drops January 8th 2021, the 40th anniversary of Peter Sutcliffe's arrest.
