Into The Minds Of Killers

  • Summary

  • Few detectives could claim to match Bob Taylor's incredible record. His 30 year career saw him head nearly 50 investigations where every killer, rapist and kidnapper he hunted ended up behind bars.

    In this episode he tells Nicola Sands how this amazing legacy in the police force owes much to his dogged determination and ability to enter the minds of the criminals he tracked.

    The high profile cases he worked on include arrogant killer Michael Sams, murderer of Julie Dart and kidnapper of Stephanie Slater who boasted that nobody could catch him.

    Early in his career when he was a sergeant, he also worked on the Yorkshire Ripper case and recalls the chaos and bungling that delayed his capture.

    Bob headed up the investigation into the murder of Wakefield mum Wendy Speakes and the forensic police work he oversaw on that case led to the capture and conviction of the brutal perpetrator.

    This is a rare insight into the mindset of an exceptional detective who instinctively knew how to catch a killler.
