The Hunt For The Cambridge Rapist
Vložit

- In 1975, the picturesque city of Cambridge was gripped by fear. A monster was stalking the streets, attacking women with increasing violence and depravity. it would soon become what was, at that time, the largest manhunt in British criminal history; the hunt for the Cambridge rapist.

I can not imagine the fear of the second women having the power cut off to her house, opening the bathroom door and seeing a man in a wig running up the stairs towards her. It's the stuff of nightmares.
I would probably have frozen in fear! That or gone into fight mode and used anything possible as a weapon!
Definitely nightmare stuff. I think I would freeze in fear tbh.
@@Kyomiibrown honestly me, too. Cuz, you're not expecting it! So, you're brain is like WTF! and OMGGGG! at the same time. But, eventually imma do somethin 🤷🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️😂
@@Kyomiibrown Same here. I'd like to think I would fight back but the sheer terror of it would probably too much for my brain to handle. It's something you expect to see in a horror movie. I just hope all the victims managed to recover from the trauma of what happened to them.
Sent shivers down my spine when I heard that
They made a t-shirt about him?!?
And people BOUGHT IT?!?
I will never understand people like that.
Great job!
Adam Ant used to wear a leather mask with RAPIST on it...
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge Bullshit
I'm glad I never realised that ...
I swear, craziness has no boundaries!!
Shows how many monsters lurk amongst us..they just lack the courage or there would be many more criminals. Fear and empathy are necessary emotions that must be cultivated if not natural
I just love the way you narrate these stories 150%.
Amen to that! Me too!!
Thank you!
Definitely 💕
Wow! SO glad he was apprehended before he murdered anyone. Surely it was only a matter of time before he escalated.. reminds me of Joseph D’Angelo.
If you look at the E-Fits and compare them to some of the Identikits of Joey D, they look really similar, and nothing like the actual suspects. Shows just how difficult a job the police back in those days had with the terrible tools they had to work with.
Me too now you mention it. Despite being separated by thousands of miles the two cases are strangely parallel.
Reminds of JD because the same demons were in both men... Amen 🙏🏾
@Tiger I'm on it.
A case that really messed with my head was "The Beast of Jersey" he was in ways similar to this criminal. But they found a hidden room in his house that was a shrine to a ancient knight that did similar crimes he did. It was even creepier then the horrible mask he wore when going out. It's like a horror movie event in real life.
I will never understand how or why people can glorify such horrific crimes with things like T-shirts. Just awful for those victims.
Must not become dehumanize. Eh young boys who got head first into gore tube 99-2010 wish they did not consume so much
Glimpse ok
To fully watch hours
Now we have more and better cam/phone the gore of country with bad RIDERS getting flattened
Tire around neck burn
Cartel depravity
More to see now
Yeah I thought that was odd too. Like a tribute??? Wth
I too thought. How freaking tacky!!! Imagine the women who were attacked seeing this! Absolutely low class.
I’m not trying to justify it but just to give you some insight as to why they did this, in the 70s and 80s the UK punk and post-punk scene was very large, artists like Siouxie soux would wear swastika bands around their arms or incorporate other Nazi/Fascist imagery into their art. Pretty much only because they wanted to be provocateurs
@@tien4930 And in the US young people still glorify Natzi paraphernalia. They don't truly have a grasp on the devastation perpetrated on millions of innocent people. Sadly while we have sick twisted vermin. We have sick twisted vermin who idolize them...
Ive just finished binge watching all your videos. I know lots of people have said it but your channel is sooo good and deserves more subs 👏. Its literally like watching a full on documentary and is very professional. Keep it up 👍
'He had a collection of keys that could open most of the front doors in Cambridge '
I feel queasy.
It makes a change to listen to a true crime story that hasn't been played several times before. Whilst it is interesting, at times, to hear the opinions of whoever has created the video, its also refreshing to not hear what they think or to be reminded to 'hit that subscribe button and notification bell'!
yeah.. i'm with you
I just becan't stand when they try to up their word count like "mu rder has been happening since the beginning of time, and none of us likes it! These stories are no exception! It's human nature to want to protect your loved ones!" Blah blah blah. Like WE KNOW
So true
Yes that’s why this channel is one ☝️ f my favorites. She gets right to it without begging for likes and subscribes and she just states the facts of the story. It’s a nice change of pace.
@@pyxelated2468 I agree with you there 💯% this is also my favorite true crime channel ever since I found it on here. Now I can’t watch anything else.
This is such an underrated channel. Great narration and picture placement make for great story telling.
I second that.
Agreed Truly Criminal and Coffeehouse Crimes are two of the best. Important back stories about the land scapes and countries featured and respect for the victims of said crimes. Stay away from That Chapter complete opposite the the two mentioned . Bad story telling and way to much pantomime.
Beautifully narrated as always. Easy to hear and factual without unnecessary opinions. This channel is a true favourite of mine.
There at the end I actually thought you were going to tell us that he escaped again. This man is horrendous. I cannot fathom what it must’ve felt like to have lived through something that this. If he’d been caught any later, he probably would’ve escalated to murder. He was headed firmly in that direction.
These are so well put together. The visuals with the amazing narration. It's just so well done, it's not common to find quality like this. 👍
I just commented on the brilliant narrative and all round delivery then saw your post. I agree with you.
@@Bee-ly4gx if the visuals are not actual footage they just stupid.
Genuinely a tragic case, can we all just take a moment to appreciate how much work goes into these pieces of content! Love the levels of detail you bring to your cases, inspiring to the true crime cases I'm covering for sure!
I really like this narrator. I like the way she delivers the narrative without emphasis and tells the story like it is. Truly Criminal is my favorite crime show.
Thank you Colin!
If police were suspicious of him why didn't they put a 24 hour surveillance on him? He's an evil monster...For the creator of these episodes you do an amazing job...These crime episodes are my favorite on CZcams
I live in Cambridge, and I never knew there was a serial rapist here before I was born. Very scary knowing these horrible things can happen anywhere ☹️
Lived in Cambridge all my life and i'm 30 now, it seems things like armed robbery and murder are now becoming more common, recently a 16/17 year old lad was stabbed to death near the bridge that goes over the river towards newmarket road tesco.
Never used to see crime like this often in the 90s and 00s, it was at most teens robbing mopeds/motorbikes or possibly setting fire to something, now they're killing people and robbing with weapons.
I've said it to people for years, Cambridge isn't as good as people seem to think, i personally believe it's a shit hole and it's only getting worse as time goes on.
@@DTM93 Also having lived in Cambridge all my life (I'm 64 and born in Great Shelford), I can't help but agree with your observation.
Absolutely horrifying.
Binge Watching the videos on this channel! Absolutely love the way the cases are presented :)
thank you for actually saying words like rapist, it really is helpful in helping people be able to understand the severity of the crimes that these people commit.
Like many others I really appreciate the professional presentation and great narration of this channel. The delivery achieves just right tempo and enunciation with enough personality to maintain your interest whilst never relying on dramatic theatrics, tired cliches or extraneous verbiage. This channel also frequently provides more extra background information than other channels, even on well known cases plus it doesn’t rely heavily on irrelevant stock imagery or annoying sound effects like some others. Perfect
I’ve been ADDICTED to your videos. They are true art. Thank you so much for your dedication to getting these stories out there! 🖤
Just wanted to say I enjoy your narration. You speak at a good speed and tell it like a story. Other similar video narrators talk too fast and rushed. Thank you. You make it much more interesting.
And her background music is just load enough
I'm glad the authorities punished him to Life in prison for his crimes even tho he didn't murder, the damage he inflicted was just as bad if not worse. I find this crime almost worse because the victims have to live after it.. it's heartless and heartbreaking.
Wouldn't you like to confront the couple that listened to her being dragged through the house protesting and struggling while they did nothing......
Happened upon this page last night. Very well done.
By far the best CZcams channel I've been lucky to come across,the way you deliver the story,the music and all the pictures/maps/videos etc makes it even more chilling, wish you had more videos up ,big big fan
I'm dumbfounded by the couple that hearts the woman being dragged past their door "protesting and screaming 'no!" repeatedly" and they did absolutely nothing.
Those 2 idiots should be charged with being accomplices at that point.
It’s easy to say that you’d jump in when you aren’t subjected to that situation.
@@celeste7687 I'm not saying jump in as most people are, in fact, cowards. But to not so much as call the police? That's a whole different level of indifference.
Either way, that couple should be very ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately they sound far too ignorant to feel shame so they're probably just living their lives as happily as can be without ever thinking they were exceptionally and easily capable of stopping a murder.
They're pieces of garbage, plain and simple.
@@TheNuckinFoob oh I didn’t catch that they didn’t call the cops, my bad. Yeah that’s the least they could do. But tbh if I heard a girl being dragged away screaming terribly I don’t think I’d physically intervene, but I’d most definitely call the cops.
agreed
Maybe they had no phone at home.
I love the way you tell the case/ story. You tell all the details and do justice to the victim (s) thank you for all that you do.
Some individual just had the most despicable urges and somehow fond of it....even proud. Its sickening 😠😠
This is absolutely terrifying, I was a child at the time of these atrocities, but was a teen when The Yorkshire Riper was around, I cnt imagine the absolute fear the survivors felt, my heart goes out to each of them. Monsters live amongst us. I hope Peter suffers each hour of each day.
Love this channel, however at the same time it makes me sad to think that this channel can continue until the end of time due to the level of crime around the world.
Your videos are professional and respectful. Just perfect mini docs. Thank you!
You are not just a narrator. You are a true storyteller.
I lived through that time sharing a house with other student nurses. One night i came home from a late shift and no-one else was in ... the hall then sitting room light didn't come on, I didn't know whether to run in or out of the house. I spent the next 2 hours locked in the downstairs bathroom until my housemates turned up and wondered why the front door was open! We didn't have any talks from the police or anything ...
It’d be terrible for that to happen in your own home.
I so wonder what wives think when they find out their husband is a total piece of trash like that. And WTF ARE THOSE T-SHIRTS???
You can find the shirt online, but they are collectors items. Not cheap!
Kleinfelter syndrome (XXY syndrome) does not cause someone to be sexually violent. It’s simply a chromosomal condition under the “intersex” spectrum.
It is said in the narration that it's believed that something happened to him while in Broadmoor, that may have caused his violent behaviour towards women. Remember he was previously convicted for being a cross-dresser. Some people with Klinefelter Syndrome (47, XXY) develop certain characteristics like breast growth and in current times may have a feminine gender identity.
We have no idea if he was subjected to testosterone treatment (that could have made him more violent like anabolic users and sexually active) and/or even sexually abused himself. He never talked.
Some of the victims described their attacker as young so I was expecting him to be in his teens or his twenties, but he was in his mid forties so that was odd. Also, I don’t understand why the police didn’t put a surveillance team onto their prime suspect. If they had then they would have found the caravan earlier with all the incriminating evidence inside. Anyway, how much better were things back in the seventies when life meant life? These days he’d get 20 years and be out in 8. As for psychological ‘experts’ - there is no such thing as an expert when it comes to predicting human nature. Psychology is not an exact science and I wish people in the criminal system would stop acting as if it is.
I really love this channel. I know this case, but you are able to tell the facts and keep me interested the whole time. Kudos.
Great commentator! Good synopsis. Have seen a number of these videos. Well done, always. Congratulations!
I love the narrators voice, it's perfect for these kind of crimes
I literally feel like I'm going to vomit in my mouth 🤮🤮 This case truly is sickening!! Thank you for another interesting video I really appreciate it!!!
Can't beat the Aussie Sheilas - best not to mess with them!
Lol better not mess with kiwi Sheila's either
or Sheila Sheila's
not sure about that. when i was in year 9 many years ago, i had several Aussie women teachers teaching my maths class and one my tutor teacher. first maths class she taught, she broke down and cried in weakness. she told us she had never had a class like mine in 30 years of teaching and she was only used to Aussie teens not English ones. she left the school like a coward and the others were no better. crying, not being able to control the class. not just that but i went to Australia and NZ on a gap year many years ago and they were just polite, didn't want to rave and were the opposite to the social butterfly they let on to be. I'd get better time in Antarctica
@@HouseOfMitchell you're super super hard and cool bullying a woman to tears with a whole classroom full of people :) not sure what that has to do with anything though or why you feel the need to brag about it online to strangers but each to their own.
Another well told well researched case love your work x
Love your username. Made me chuckle 😆
This is such a great channel. And the 1970s in England is hands-down the most fascinating decade I know of. Such decadence and deterioration, and then finding a necessary path forward.
Were you there? I found the seventies great. It was sweet compared to the eighties, and socially far better than the Orwellian nightmare of today.
@@spencerhardy8667 The necessary path forward isn't always he most fun kiddo. You can't survive having public service workers on strike constantly. I was around for the American version and we had many of the same problems. NYC was fun but it was broke. That's not sustainable. Congrats though. Proud of you.
Don’t you wish people would still get those type of sentences these days for the same types of crimes!
This is done really well. Like how it’s all new stuff I haven’t heard of and stuff other podcasts leave out.
Im speechless , that is not a human, that's a monster
19:51 Seeing the wig collection Cook had is very scary. As a wigmaker, I create them for joy. His use for them was utterly terrifying.
Never stop making wigs, it is SO fun being high in a wig
@@gabrielpetersen8528 I won’t. I’ve got a channel about my wigmaking if you’re interested? 👍🏻
This channel is the best. My favourite crime documentaries channel.
Absolutely brilliant reporting. Why doesnt this have more views?
Glad found this channel from it being recommended 👍
This case is insane.
This is every womans worst nightmare 🙀 Could you just imagine being a young woman, home alone and the lights go out and some man in a WIG comes running up the stairs at you AND attacks you! I'd be F'd up in the head FOREVER. Then to wear a leather mask with RAPIST on it?!? That's scary as hell
Perfect timing! Great content! Love your channel. I've been telling all my friends about it 💚... Ty TC
Do the story of the Parnell Panther in Auckland NZ. He was caught by a female police officer. But you could never ever imagine what happened next. Incredible story, kept very quiet....
Is there a doco on this? Im from NZ but never heard of it.
@@churmykahiuptouce1067 Kia ora....I haven't seen one. I emigrated to NZ in 1988. In that year, maybe 1989 the area of Parnell, popular with students was terrorised by a rapist who preyed on young female students. It was a similar situation to the Cambridge rapist, everyone was terrified. I lived in Kohi at that time. Eventually he was caught by a very brave female police officer - one of very few on the force at that time. I met her a few years later via mutual friend after she had left the force and was trying to convince me to invest in a scheme (I was Marketing boss for Watties at that time). The next bit of the story is incredible. Which is why it would make a great doco - and probably why one was never made! The Auckland Herald definitely covered the story, it was daily news. Maybe the Herald has a digital archive? But it definitely would not have covered what happened next! Only me, the copper involved and our mutual friend know that plus a few officials, no doubt. When you find the story I will tell you what happened next rather than do a spoiler! I was dumbstruck when I found out I can tell you!
@@davidjma7226 damn, was not expecting that lol sure sounds interesting to find out briefly what its about. Defs will look into the NZ herald archives. Kia Ora.

This channel puts out top shelf content. Some of the best and most beautifully delivered true crime stories on CZcams.
Am late, but love this channel. Well researched, put together, and love narrator's voice. Love fr Panama 🥰🏆
'I came to rob, but I'll stay to rape' 😳😳😳 chills, man!
Ik Jesus Christ...😮
I love this channel! Your voice and the background music draws me right in! I love how you get right to the stories. Thanks for all your hard work!
I really do like this channel so glad I found it.
My favorite new channel put out a new video! Thank you! 😊
You have such a great narrating voice and voice pattern.
Question though. Just your ideas. If they have suspected Samuel, why didn’t they put surveillance on him and follow wherever he went? 🤔🤔🤔
I've never heard of this case. Great video. Thanks for uploading!
Another banger. Thanks 🔥
So scary! Glad he was finally caught!!
Extraordinary that the cops hadn't been tailing him after he became suspect number one
I can't stop binge watching all you're video's. So glad I found this channel. Great work, new cases and lots of details I haven't heard before. Thanks
I was 15 at the time this monster was on the loose. It was a frightening time. How he evaded capture for so long is maddening but forensic science wasn't like it is now. Its hard to believe that him declining a saliva swab was allowed back then! Was the fact that he lacked a chromosome the reason why he was sterile? That fact would probably be discovered early today therefore narrowing down suspects.. I wonder how many victims didn't come forward. Cook was extremely dangerous. Thank you for telling the story so well and in so much detail. I hope the victims had a lot of support. I can't imagine how terrifying their ordeals were.
Truly criminal is truly professional
I agree!
Hi i just wanted to tell you this channel by the name 👉Team Toàn Tay👈
is stealing your work and passing it as 20/20 ABC Season 2021 Dateline .
I know you work hard to have someone else taking your work and making it their own. I clicked and heard your voice immoderately clicked off.
Sorry I had to say something…..not sorry 🙄
Thank you so much for letting us know about this! We are dealing with it right now!
*Immediately* 🤭
@@TrulyCriminal you’re very welcome!!!
I love your work and I can’t stand to see someone else take credit!
NOT right at all. But I’m glad I was able to alert you and your team. Keep up the good work. Have a good day. 😁
This channel will soon outshine true crime daily which is filled with irrelevant interviews, and unnecessarily long talks
As it was back in the days and it wasnt a hype
5:35 THAT'S a house!? Jesus Christ that's a bit extravagant for a home.
The best true crime channel on youtube by far ! ICON
Simply love this channel! So informative while still showing respect and dignity to the victims and their families. Great work! 💜🖤💜
You need to include your Patreon on every video description so you get more Patrons 🙂
It is truly sickening that some merchants are allowed to profit from such tragedies. The worse part of this is that some people buy this crap. Here in Canada anything related to the crimes committed by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka was strictly prohibited to be turned into commercial items of any kind. Guess what : the Americans started to print collectible cards with photos of the victims of these two monsters, almost as soon as this couple was sentenced. Sometimes i find myself thinking if this fascination with horror and suffering, has anything to do with the Anglo Saxon culture. I do know that the celebration of Halloween is an important part of that. Good show, keep the good work amiga. Greetings from Toronto.
Awesome job! 👏
WOW, 49 years ago! The 70's were great except for this! At least they kept him locked up for life, unlike a lot of others! Kudos to Truly Criminal for in depth investigation of the rapist!
11:02 Damn I'd forgotten how lame those 1970s photofit faces were - every criminal looked the same, with different options of beard, glasses or hairdo!
If they already suspected him, they should've watched him and prevented some of those rapes.
Omg I went to Homerton, I had no idea this happened at the college. Shocking.
Seriously making t-shirts out of it?? How disgusting 😤 what is wrong with those people
This is so crazy
Well done & very interesting. Never heard this story.
I don't suppose any of the proceeds from the "designer" T-shirt sales went to victims--🙄
I doubt it. And to think they made the stupid tart a dame??
Malcolm McLaren managed the New York Dolls, not the Goo Goo Dolls, which is a minor point but gave me an enormous LOL.
Ha! I was just scanning the comments before I made the same remark. GooGoo can suck it!!!!!!!
Enormous lol and massive cringe for me.
Hahaha I'm really lacking knowledge in this area and even I thought 'hmm seems like a weird combination.'
who gives a shite
For fuck sakes how absolutely incompetent the police was on this case
Moved to a low security prison, does that mean that some "experts" had deemed him suitable for release possibly, just before he died.
Never come across a case so horrifying as this. Just as scary as what Richard Ramirez committed back in Los Angeles later in 1985 as well as the Railway Killers in the U.K. too, so Despicable
👁👁😤🔥💀
I'm from Cambridge, seems so weird seeing this and the streets I know
The fact that he declined to give example of his saliva is telling. What an evil man...
Was always curious to know more about this guy.Thankyou.
You are brilliant 😊another great video thank you 🙏
I hate that he died of natural causes and not being beaten up by prisoners
Great episode. Keep it up!
This guy is terrifying.
Great video as always. The depth of your research and the non-sensationalist way you present these cases are admirable. As an aside, I wonder if this was the case that inspired JK Rowling's scummy murder novel and her awful vendetta against transgender people
Broadmoor is thought to be where such a change in him happened. God that’s a scary place! Why would they put in a prison with less security? I guess it’s just luck he died before they could let him out. Ridiculous.
This Background Music Always Makes The Whole Ordeal 10 Times More Creepy. 👌😂
I know right🥲
Yes same feels. The background music added to the chills. 😰
