It's scary to realize that it all happened, and not just fiction. What negligence and the result are poor women, and someone also had the conscience to complain from the police men that they should stop patrolling the area with prostitutes so that this monster would kill them, and not ordinary girls - forgetting that they are all people and these poor things did not go to earn money in this way because of their sweet lives. They didn't believe the victims and accused them of prostitution and lying, instead of matching the words of all the survivors and catching the killer a long time ago. And when one of them told the truth, they attacked, they say, the journalists paid you, and to answer that this monster was interrogated 9 times and all the sketches of unaccounted-for girls pointed to one person and that there were police officers who wanted him to be checked more thoroughly, but they were just sent far away is shocking! Thank God there was a man who decided not to listen to them, but listened to his gut and found the murder weapon. The only thing in this series was not told the reasons why he killed with such brutality and why his wife was so strange - whether she knew about it, maybe she helped him, or whether he did something to her that she was not herself. (Of course, I'll read about the real killer, but I'd like to find out about it in the framework of the series) Perhaps if an experienced investigator wasn't promoted from the very beginning, then he found him earlier (though I don't know if his character was made up for the series or if he really was).

Thousands of people were caught for many years, and eventually an ordinary policeman from another city was caught, who simply did not hammer the bolt.

Denis was right, they were looking for a monster, so they believed in writing and writing, but they had to believe the victims and look for an ordinary person. It's a terrible mistake, because it turns out there was nothing in the letters that wasn't from the press. And the chief boss also earned money from the book.

HYPE, what kind of freaks people are, led on a false trail, more women died, and all because they clung to this accent

A wonderful down-to-earth series about police work with its bias towards prostitutes and typical human mistakes.The atmosphere of the 70s is incomparable, the first step in the business is very impressive.
