On a cold and misty morning in October 1975, Richard McCann woke to discover his mother was missing. He was just ﬁve years old. She was the ﬁrst victim of the notorious serial killer, Peter Sutcliffe. Despite other tragic losses, and a period of dabbling with drugs and prison, Richard decided to turn his life around.

I'm 26 and I still remember Richard coming into my high school and doing a talk, something I will never forget. Very inspiring man ❤️ x

Richard looks so much like his Mam... & for all the pain & family turmoil he’s suffered in life, what a genuinely decent, inspirational & well spoken bloke he’s turned out to be... full credit to him & he deserves maximum respect...🧐👍🏻

Great admiration for you Richard. I lost my brother 4 years ago to natural causes. You have suffered so much loss in your life, but you used the experiences to grow & not be bitter. The best of luck with your life.

What a lovely honest man. You’re mother would be very proud of you sir 👍

I think its amazing. I am halfway through writing my book about becoming 80% disabled after a car accident and the injustice that followed. The writing is healing and the universe definitely guide and give signs and protection. Some energy saved me and now I have a spiritual team guiding me forward with love and peace. Thank you both 🙌🙏

A true inspiration to come on so strong in the face of such appalling circumstances life has thrown at him ❤️

This fella did a talk at my old high school. What he told us was gripping.

Not sure why I’ve only just found this interview. But what a man Richard McCann is. It just goes to show, from such a difficult start what an outstanding man you can be. He just is the epitome of empathy and strength that a human being can actually possess despite all of the odds being against him. I’m in awe

I was born 1970 and was brought up in Leeds on the edge of a council estate near Kirkstall Abby.. and I went to the school on the other side of the council estate so we had to walk through the estate and I remember even to my young eyes how brutal it was… gardens with abandoned semi dismantled cars everywhere… little kids that could only of been 3 or 4 wandering about half dressed unsupervised… I’ll never forget one image that must of been very shocking because it stayed with me.. it was a female toddler with only a T-shirts on no underwhere utterly filthy with green snot rolling from her nose whilst she sucked on a bottle of milky tea just wandering the street…and dogs just wandered the streets in packs..

Wow! Inspiring. I lived through the time of his mother’s murderer in Leeds. In tears at the last part. Good luck my Leeds brother xxx

This took me on a journey. Blown away. This thing called life can be so hard at times. Horrible and beautiful story.

Loved Richard so much that I bought his beautiful book❤

His mum would be proud. Seems like a genuinely nice man. 👊🏻

I admire Richard so much, I still see a child speaking about his mum even though he's an adult, I worked in Leeds and remember how terrified we all were, Sutcliffe was just a coward, and it went on far too long, people tend to forget there is family's struggling behind cases like this, they were all someone's mother, daughter, sister, friend, what some did to survive and feed themselves and family is irrelevant, they were all human. God bless you Richard, your mum will be bursting with pride looking down on you now x
