Summary

In the season 9 special, I'm telling the stories of Wilma McCann, Emily Jackson, Irene Richardson, Patricia Atkinson, Jayne MacDonald, Jean Jordan, Yvonne Pearson, Helen Rytka, Vera Millward, Josephine Whitaker, Barbara Leach, Margeurite Walls and Jacqueline Hill, who each lost their lives at the hands of Peter Sutcliffe, who many knew as "The Yorkshire Ripper".

This two-part episode focuses on the stories of those thirteen innocent women - whose names are too often forgotten - ensuring their lives are remembered and not overshadowed by the darkness that befell them.

In part 1, I explored the lives of Wilma, Emily, Irene, Patricia, Jayne and Jean, uncovering their stories, dreams, and aspirations.

In this second and final part, I do the same with Yvonne, Helen, Vera, Josephine, Barbara, Margeurite and Jacqueline.

I also delve into the 'Wearside Jack' hoax, Sutcliffe's arrest, the murder trial and the case's aftermath.
