Mary Gregson

Its Murder Up North

In this episode I will take you back to the 1970’s and the murder of a devoted mother and wife, committed in broad daylight as she undertook her 8 minute walk to work. it would take 23 years to bring her killer to justice. In that time speculation regarding who had committed the crime would spread, was it her husband, or maybe a local sex offender? Or had she been a victim of Peter Sutcliffe, AKA the Yorkshire Ripper? Join me as I delve into the case of Mary Gregson.
