"THE ORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN OF THE WEST RIDING WOKE TO A BRIGHT
SUNSHINE STREAMING FROM A CLEAR BLUE SKY. IT LASTED ALL DAY, AS IF
SYMBOLISING THE END OF A DARK AGE OF FEAR."

Thus spoke so eloquently the editorial column of the Daily Express in
the days following the arrest of Peter Sutcliffe. Very few people
disagreed at the time.

*The Yorkshire Ripper cover up* teaches us many things, including the
degree to which we take our beliefs from the media.

There was no new dawn for "the men and women of the West Riding."
It was all in Ronald Gregory's imagination.
The Yorkshire Ripper continued killing. But from then on, his murders
were "new ripper" or "imitation ripper" - while the people of the West
Riding all heaved a sigh of relief and believed what they wanted to
believe.

This searing, hidden, collective emotional wound will continue to
afflict and torment "the men and women of the West Riding," until we
finally confront and resolve *the Yorkshire Ripper cover up* .

=============================================
WEST YORKSHIRE POLICE

Their own statements - before and after Peter Sutcliffe's arrest -
confirm that there were not one but two men committing the
series of killings associated with 'The Yorkshire Ripper'

'We must now face the very real possibility that there is a
second man preying on women."
-Detective Chief Superintendent Lapish, Bradford C.I.D. 1978

"Yvonne 'a victim of the carbon-copy Ripper
by Stephen Oldfield
A second Ripper was being hunted by police last night.
The crazed killer is thought to have set himself up as a rival
to the man who has already killed seven girls.
So far he is known to have murdered Yvonne Pearson whose
battered body was found in Bradford on Sunday.
A pathologist who examined all the good-time girls murdered by
the Ripper told police yesterday: "She is not his eighth
victim.""
-Daily Mail, 28 March 1978

--------------------------

"Detective Chief Superintendent Jim Hobson arrived to take charge of
the enquiry...... Next day, armed with the autopsy report, Mr Hobson
was
able to tell the Press: 'I am satisfied the woman's death [Margo
Walls, 1980] was in no
way connected with the Ripper killings.'"
-from "The Yorkshire Ripper Story" by John Beattie, 1981.

--------------------------

"Another Maniac At Large - Police doubt Ripper link in
student's murder.
Police last night feared a second maniac was at large in West
Yorkshire, the stalking ground of the infamous Yorkshire
Ripper, after the murder of a 29-year-old student in Leeds.
Ripper Squad detectives were called in when the body of Miss
Jacqueline Hill was found.......
Det. Supt. Alf Finlay, who is leading the inquiry into Miss
Hill's death, said: "There is no evidence at the moment to link
this death with the so-called Yorkshire Ripper. We have not
ruled him out yet, but we have nothing to suggest it's him.
Earlier in the day, Det. Chief Supt. Peter Gilrain head of the
Ripper inquiry, visited the murder scene and said later: "This
is not my investigation. Someone else is handling it."
-Yorkshire Post, 19-11-1980

--------------------------

"Oldfield conceded to us that there is not one Ripper, but at
least two."
- Sunday Times 'Insight.' 1980

--------------------------

"I agree with your premise that Sutcliffe was not responsible
for all the murders."
-Ian Smith, Editor of Chief Constable Ronald Gregory's Memoirs, 1983

--------------------------

"It was known in the top echelons of the police that two men
were involved in the series of murders."
-R.J.P. Warren, Deputy Chairman of West Yorkshire Police Authority,
1989.

--------------------------

"I don't think now that Sutcliffe did all the killings he
confessed to."
-Brian Marriner, author of 'A century of Sex Killers.'

Nope, sorry, I am not a troll. But I am contentious as hell. Others
mistake argument for trolling, but I can't be responsible for what
others think. I can only be responsible for what I think.

Also, I am not interested in your newsgroups. I only post to the
cycling newsgroups. Either get on board or get lost.
