The Ripper

In the 1970s, the brutal murders of sex workers in economically depressed areas of the UK spark little public interest — until a teen is also killed.

As the killer continues to prey upon women, police hope that tire tracks and a victim's 5-pound note may finally lead to a suspect.

Police release phone calls and handwriting samples from a suspect. Women protest law enforcement's continued inability to catch the Ripper.

More than five years after the first attack, the police finally make an arrest, setting off a media frenzy and accusations of a botched investigation.
