I suppose the point of all the above is that Halifax is
quite an interesting place when researching crime
history....
Many folks know my interest by now,,
I have my own ideas about the
Yorkshire Ripper case,,
an reckon anyone who believes that
Oldfields case of 79 has been properley
resolved with three quite separate individuals,,
not connected in any way,, who all quite by
chance just happened to have the same rare blood type..
6% for nonsecretors and 8% for secretors...
Well,, anyone who believes that lot,, just got to
be really ignorant,,or naive,, or just plain brain dead....
So I will get on with the more interesting stuff for
other less afflicted citizens...
Yer,, Halifax has quite an interesting history to research,,,
from a criminal and murder point of view....
A man who killed ladies and prostitutes (Christie)
came from that area,, he also successfully
blamed his crime (for a while) on another man...
Getting back to Oldfield's Yorkshire Ripper case,,,
he received letters and a tape that accurately predicted
three murders... It is also quite clear if you make a quick study
of those letters and tape,, that the author was quite familiar
with the original 1888 London Jack story
and had mimicked the style of infamous,, original Jack Ripper
letters..
In fact,, he had doubled the number of kills and gone one better
by sending a tape recorded message, which also mimmicked
the original case,,, haw haw.....
The third one of those letters arrived ten days before the
the Halifax murder,, which tied everything together for the cops
and then they all went off to Sunderland to look for them there...
But they never did get him did they,,,
a Sunderland man was clearly held to be responsible..
There can be no doubt those letters came from the killer..
But the killers finger pointed to another,, who in this case could
not be found....
They all reckoned it was his ego and boasting
behind those letters and tape,,
but they could not get him,,
so maybe he was not the daft one...
A couple was seen in Saville Park and in Alma Road
just before the murders and neither couple were traced..
And as I hold a couple to be responsible for the Yorkshire Ripper
series of murders,,, perhaps some of you will be interested
in this way of thinking about them...
My cousin Pete and his wife have connections with
Preston and Manchester,,, they lived south on Manchester,,
her family were from the Preston area...
Pete was a mechanical engineering sort,,
and she was a very clever girl...
In fact she was a student at 20 when
they were married,, a University student
with a talent for research...
She sent a fairly extensive research project of hers
to my mother,,her own historical account from an
area of my mums old home town...
It reflects her natural inclinations...
And so I was watching Martine Coles Lady Killers
the other night,, and the point was made how carefully
planned Brady's and Hindley's crimes were...
And I thought of this student who must have researched the
original London Jack and wondered what else would she
ave been looking at under the circumstances.....
Well the Moors murders for sure,, Jack Ripper in London
for sure,,, Bonnie and Clyde,, 1967 movie with Warren Beattie,,
and Fay Dunnaway...
10 Rillington Place movie,, 1971 and the Halifax connection,,
are all pretty obvious connections or influences...
Yea,, a clever young university student had married my cousin,,
and somehow,,?,, by 1977 they jointly became involved
in what was to become known as the Yorkshire Ripper
series of murders...
It became known by this name because quite clearly was
a re-enactment of the original 1888 jobby... This fact
was acknowledged many times in the press...
So what was happening in 1979,, wi that plan,,
and why did they choose Halifax,,
perhaps part of the answer is in the history of the place....
Seems fitting for what happened somehow..
The Ripper,, and it is "they" in my scenario,,
had crafted two very similar letters with enough
detail of Huddersfield to get George interested..
And predicted the next kill would be an old
prostitute in Manchester...
Signed,,, Jack the Ripper...
It was a pretty fair bet this first prediction would not
be taken too seriously until after the prediction was carried out..
And it was carried out,,, and then the series of murders stopped
for a year until Halifax....
Another letter was sent,, from Sunderland with oil and metal
traces on it and ten days later,, another girl was killed
in Saville Park and found to have the same oil and metal traces
in her wounds... More than that it connected the Preston murders,,
and the Manchester murders,,, and led the cops off to Sunderland...
Well we know what a problem that was for the cops...
And now we have three felons all blood type B...
Pull the other one EH...
The circumstances leading up to the Halifax murder
are of particular interest to anyone who would wish
to understand the Yorkshire Ripper case...
Crime history should also be considered
because it most certainly was by the author/s
of the letters and tape...
A young couple with links to Manchester and Preston
who became jointly involved in planning and committing
an unsolved remake of the original 1888 London Jack story
are the perfect solution for Oldfield's case...
The craft and cunning from the lady
and the brutal simplicity from the boy,,
Travelling together they scouted Yorkshire towns
and red light areas with impunity..
And devised a plan,,,
They picked up some poor unsuspecting
punter in Sunderland and persuaded him to read
a message into the tape...
Just like that,, (Tommy Cooper)
