Laura Richards analyses and deconstructs the murders and attacks on lone women committed by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS throughout the series) in the north east of England in the 1960s and 1970s.   This case happened before Laura started her career at New Scotland Yard. It was the very reason her unit was set up. Listen and find out why Laura believes this is one of the most misunderstood cases of our time and why we should stop referring to this serial killer as The Yorkshire R*****   Join Laura each week in the intelligence cell as she behaviourally breaks down each attack and highlights which cases she believes to be linked, why PS did what he did and how he was allowed to get away with it for so long.

In this Special Report (Part 2 of 3), Laura interviews courageous 17-year-old Georgia Gabriel-Hooper, whose mother, Cheryl Gabriel-Hooper was shot dead in front of her by her former partner Andrew Hooper on January 26 2018. We discuss events leading up to the murder and the red flags which include coercive control, isolation, victim’s fear, separation, rejection, escalation, stalking, threats to kill, access to weapons, child abuse, threats to commit suicide, financial abuse, entitlement, misogyny, finality and serial perpetration. We discuss the many opportunities to intervene and prevent Cheryl’s murder. Georgia is campaigning alongside Laura to ensure serial domestic abusers and stalkers are included on the same national register as sex offenders and terrorists. Please support our campaign by sharing this important episode with family, friends and colleagues and amplify our voices.  Please write to your Member of Parliament by April 25 April and ask that they support Motion G1 in the Domestic Abuse Bill.

Thought I knew how incompetent the officers were regarding the "R" investigation but hadn't realised just how incompetent

thanks for this amazing Laura. you're a real life super shero. I was dissapointed by the end of ghost story but could see the pressure the journalist was under. I'm so happy you've picked it up. The poor woman needed and deserved a voice and some recognition. Can't wait for next episode.

Thank you, thank you, dearest Laura, for everything you do , bringing out the voices that were supposed to be silenced! Your work should be an international standard, for all women working in the justice system, because it gives results. My home country is one of those, where violence against women, coercive control and all sort of misogyny is deeply engrained in the system, especially the justice system and listening to you, it gives me hope on top of my anger Love❣️Helen Rsthl

Just read the synopsis of Ep 141 about Dennis Radar & cannot wait to listen. The episode sounds awesome. I absolutely love Laura’s analysis, expertise, intuition & compassion. A very special woman who I respect & admire hugely.

Laura Richards Podcast and YouTube channel are phenomenal. Laura breaks down everything that should have happened and all the bits leading to investigation so thoroughly with nothing left unturned. This is one of my favourite podcasts because Laura always puts the victims and survivors before the perpetrator and others. it's respectful and gives those who no longer have a voice a voice to be heard.

Dear Laura. Thanks so much for your take on Harry & Meghan’s situation. The media coverage was confusing and I was intrigued about the fairest perspective. As normal, you reliably made sense of it for me & typically I find myself in agreement with all your points. It seems to me that demonising Meghan must be a convenient distraction - just as the media used Diana. Also, as you say, we don’t know very much about the real William. What he stands for.

Such an intelligent and sound thinker so surprised at your take on Harry and Meghan! I guess that's politics for you. Merry Xmas!

I love this podcast. Laura, thank you for boosting the voices of women and children. I agree with everything you say regarding demanding change, using our voices, etc. At the end of this episode you say something along the lines of "use your X," which I'm assuming refers to X chromosomes. Friendly reminder that we have Y chromosome sisters and AMAB & AFAB non-binary sibs as well, who need just as much protection and support, do as much parenting, and deal with as much discrimination as our cisgender sisters. Much love and thank you so much for what you do.

At the 20th minute on recent video Did the police EVER actually ask who the van belonged to? Before stating “she was breaking in” Also I am curious as to what the refuge facilities take on this is.

brilliant insight as usual; a truly insidious creature he is. Here's hoping everyone watches the documentary because this is guy you want to steer well clear of. Thank you Laura and Joey

So great to have you hosting solo Laura. You have it all, don't need a co host mansplaining *ahem* exactly what you just said straight back at you.

Laura I would love to hear what your take is on Kanye West. it feels like I'm watching abuse, live, in real time, and people find it funny. my stomach turns thinking about it

So inspirational & reassuring to hear Laura & Julie’s analysis - they acknowledge the pressures & risk assessments that we, as women, have to constantly assess & the neglect, by a patriarchal system of 50% of the population. Can’t thank Laura & Julie enough.
