Summary

In this final episode, Laura analyses the letter writer and tape maker as well as the behavioural profile of someone who would act in this way. Laura discusses the apology issued by West Yorkshire Police in November 2020 as well as the learning opportunities from this case in terms of future early identification, intervention and prevention of serial offenders and killers. Most importantly, Laura re-centers and remembers the victims in the final episode of the podcast series documenting this much needed re-investigation.
