Paul Harrison, 59, the author of more than 33 books, is a former British cop who claims he helped the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico as an “experienced criminal profiler,” according to the Guardian.

But he made his name claiming to have interviewed some of the world’s most notorious serial killers, even claiming one, Britain’s “Yorkshire Ripper” Peter Sutcliffe, told him, “I’m scared of you.”

Sutcliffe — convicted of murdering 13 women — heard about the claims in his UK prison, and the Sun obtained a letter from him denying he met the writer.

Liberals lie about EVERYTHING.
It’s what they do.

Was afraid this article was about Ann Rule.

My wife has read so many of her books and learned so many ways to dispose of a body that if anything ever happens to me, I probably deserved it.

Why am I not surprised?

When the Yorkshire Ripper has more credibility than you, it is indeed time to “call it a day.”

“My wife has read so many of her books and learned so many ways to dispose of a body that if anything ever happens to me, I probably deserved it.”

just keep in mind that pretty much everyone she wrote about got caught, so their body-disposal methods weren’t entirely successful ... maybe you could take some comfort in that :-)

Best way to dispose of a body is to find where the local mafiosos hang out and drop it off there. Let the professionals take care of it.

What are they gonna do? Call the cops and say someone left a body there?

With all that talent he should get a job as a MSM reporter....

My wife has always told me that the best way to dispose of a body is to drop it off at a hog farm. The hogs will dispose of the body overnight and won't leave a trace.

The only problem is that eventually somebody is going to squeal...

I like Ann Rule and have read a number of her books. However, she worked next to Ted Bundy at the suicide hotline while having a contract to write a book on the as yet unknown killer (known only by his murders at that time). Then having the Green River Killer live a mile away from her make me think (not seriously) that someone should look into her.
