Peak of the Predator: The Yorkshire Ripper’s Reign of Chaos (Part 4 of 5)

Peak of the Predator: The Yorkshire Ripper’s Reign of Chaos (Part 4 of 5) The north burns—and the Ripper rules.

Dive back into the abyss with Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast for Part 4 of our five-part descent into Peter Sutcliffe’s nightmare: "Peak of the Predator: The Yorkshire Ripper’s Reign of Chaos." You’ve tracked his twisted Bingley roots in Part 1, shivered through his ’75 rehearsals in Part 2, and crossed the bloody threshold with Wilma, Emily, Irene, and Patricia in Part 3—four kills that sparked the terror. Now, the storm explodes.

Mid-1977 to 1980, northern England’s a slaughterhouse—Sutcliffe’s spree hits its savage peak, 13 women dead, 7 clawing back from the edge. Leeds bleeds, but Manchester, Huddersfield, and Halifax taste his shadow too. Jayne MacDonald, 16, bleeds out in a playground—shattering the ‘prostitute-only’ lie. Jean Jordan’s hacked apart in Manchester, a £5 note his unraveling thread. Helen Rytka’s buried under Huddersfield timber, Vera Millward’s sprawled by a hospital, Josephine Whitaker’s torn open on Halifax moor—respectable or not, no one’s safe. Bodies vanish under sofas, sink in rubbish, one chokes on a cord—five kills in 14 months by ’80, his fastest yet. 

Hammers crack, screwdrivers plunge, survivors scream—Maureen, Marilyn, Theresa, Mo—while a £4-million manhunt chases ghosts. What turned caution to chaos? How did he dance through the net?

From Upadhya Bandara’s fading pulse to Jacqueline Hill’s final steps, Part 4’s a relentless plunge into a predator’s prime—13 murders, 7 near-misses, a reign that mocks the law. But the end’s near—Part 5 looms with a Sheffield stop, a trial’s madness, and scars that linger.
