The Real Manhunt

Following in the footsteps of the ITV drama, The Real Manhunt: The Night Stalker interviews senior officers from Operation Minstead to tell the real story of the 17 year hunt for the serial rapist known as ‘The Night Stalker’ and the 17 day stakeout that led to his eventual arrest. Former SIOs Colin Sutton and Simon Morgan and former Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers speak candidly to Susanna Reid about one of the most complex investigations the Met has ever had to face, and reflect on the tragic mistake that meant he could have been stopped years earlier.
