The Ripper Investigation
Trevor Birdsall wrote an anonymous letter to the police incident room in 1980. He said he had 'very good reason' to believe he knew Peter Sutcliffe. Trevor was arrested for drunk driving and taken to Bradford Station. They ran a routine check on him and found he'd been interviewed and eliminated from the ripper investigation so they didn't question him any further. After sending the anonymous letter, Trevor's girlfriend told him he hadn't given the police enough information. His name and address is Peter Sutcliffe, Five Garden Lane, Shipley, Heaton, Bradford.
