Peter Sutcliffe. Aka - 'The Yorkshire Ripper'.
Killed at least 13 women in Yorkshire England but is suspected of several others between 1975 and 1980.
In the UK i think it was the first time a serial killer made the news every night. (Since the Brady/Hindley child murders in the '60's)
It attracted several men to make malicious phone calls to the investigating detectives and wasted a lot of time.
But I remember it was talked about by adults at the time and worried women everywhere since, as it turned out, he was a truck driver so could have gone anywhere to do what he did.
Police interviewed this man 9 times before finally charging him.
Sentenced to 22 life sentences, he died in prison
