    It wasn't so long ago that posters were saying there is no way JS is a child abuser, rapist , paedophile.

    I wouldn't dismiss anything out of hand after what is now coming out and has still to come :eek:

    If he was questioned and the police believed him to be a dangerous man why did he slip through the net?

    They had to interview him because a caller named him as a suspect. Plus some of the victims bodies were found close to where he lived.

    I don't think he was ever a serious suspect, just that police have to interview people named as suspects to eliminate them from their enquiries

    He was questioned because he lived in the area where a couple of the murders happened. One of them practically on his doorstep. Savile was just one of the many men in the area who were questioned. I wouldn't read too much into it.

    This has gone way past absurd to heights of surrealism. There are now calls for his body to be exhumed. i suppose his name will be erased form all books, videos and memory. It's become a ludicrous witchhunt on someone who is dead.

    Well it's not so ludicrous for those he took advantage of. You should read the other thread. It is quite enlightening. Of course who knows what is truth and not but there is some pretty good detailed research in there pointing many fingers at him and other people in positions of power

    The media are whipping up hysteria and, in the process, clouding the real issue of people who were abused by him. This so-called Ripper connection being a case in point. He was interviewed by the police along with everyone else who lived close to the park where the body of one of the Ripper victims was found. Typically, though, this story is being exaggarated into something it isn't. The fact that Saville was interviewed as part of the Ripper enquiry wasn't a secret - I read about it in a book several years ago, so the information was out there in the public domain. Why people are going so OTT with it is beyond me.

    I agree, Jo. The press are looking for more and more Savile weirdness. But Savile did make 'friends' with Sutcliffe when he visited Broadmoor. More Savile perverseness, I suspect.

    Lucky he wasn't a keeper at London zoo as well, the media would be having a field day on that.

    So very true, and it's great fodder for the bandwagon jumpers. My aunt was saying yesterday evening that if she and my mum were unscrupulous, they could easily make a report to the police saying they were molested by Savile as they were underage teenagers when Savile was gaining popularity in Leeds (one of mum's 14 year old classmates had a fling with him....have known this for years). They could have done a bit of poking around on the web (especially since all of this has blown up) and come up with a very plausible story. Neither of them were raised to be liars and actually doing that would be well beyond their moral scope but alongside Savile's genuine abuse victims, others are going to come forward with concocted stories.

    In effect, the above not only dilutes the investigation by giving the police lots of extra (unnecessary) work but it also denigrates the integrity of those who were assaulted by him and have only just felt able to talk about it in the wake of recent events. I don't envy the work of the police in sorting the wheat from the chaff. The media, in an attempt to uncover even the minutest detail that might add to the incriminating evidence against Savile, have thrown too many red herrings into the mix. On one hand, it's very annoying. On the other, they are between a rock and a hard place. If they keep reporting relevant, focused on fact rather than conjecture and low key, they are accused of 'not doing enough' or collusion. If they do try and provide as much information as is out there, they are accused of being sensationalist (and perhaps rightly where stories are embellished in glorious detail :rolleyes:). I guess it's up to the discerning consumer to find the 'happy medium', should they actually care to.

    No, his name was actually put forward as a suspect by members of the public. What makes it noteworthy is the bizarre friendship struck up between Sutcliffe and Savile when Savile was carrying out his mysterious role at Broadmoor.

    I agree, bit spooky he then went and made friends with the Ripper after being questioned of being him though. Kinda like maybe he actually sought him out

    Knowing what we do now about Saville, maybe he admired the Ripper

    So were a lot of men who lived in Leeds at the time, some I knew personally. It was a desperate time, and bloody frightening. This isn't really news...

    That is why there are calls for him to be dug up, as his death may have been a cunning diversionary ploy for him to abuse the other residents of the cemetery.
