77 - 80. Got pulled up one night coming back from Weetwood by the police. All the lads I was with told me to keep my gob shut (a tall order ) as with my North-East accent we might be 'detained'.I was at Leeds University between 78 and 81 - Jacqueline was a friend of a friend who I met a few times. Up until that point, the Headingley area and the routes down to the University from there seemed safe .... or maybe we just didn't think it would happen round there. I seem to remember the press at the time were implying it was "only" prostitutes that were the Ripper's target
I also got interviewed by the police when the "Wearside Jack" tape was sent in - seemed they were interviewing anybody with a vague "north east" accent.
