[10] He has said that the cliché of retired police officers investigating cases such as "the original Jack the Ripper crimes and the conspiracies surrounding 9/11" is something he is happy to adopt.[10] When he was looking into his wife's supposed abduction by Robert Black in 1971, Clark found a number of unsolved murders which "reminded him" of the 'Yorkshire Ripper', Peter Sutcliffe.[12] Clark and Tate claimed there were links between Sutcliffe and unsolved murders across the country, such as that of Jacqueline Ansell-Lamb and Barbara Mayo, Judith Roberts, Wendy Sewell, Eve Stratford and Lynne Weedon, Elizabeth Parravincina, Carol Wilkinson, Lynda Farrow and Patsy Morris.[13] Derbyshire Police dismissed the theory, pointing to the fact that a reinvestigation in 2002 had found that only Stephen Downing couldn't be ruled out of the investigation, and responded by stating that there was no evidence linking Sutcliffe to the crime.It claimed that Black could be linked to a number of unsolved disappearances and murders across Britain and Europe, such as the Genette Tate, Mary Boyle and April Fabb cases.[14] In 2021, he published two other books on crimes linked to Angus Sinclair and Christopher Halliwell with podcast authors Adam Lloyd and Bethan Trueman.[31] Clark had previously claimed that Wilson's murder was one of three similar killings committed in the area by Halliwell alongside Donna Keogh in 1998 and Vicky Glass in 2000.[12] One murder that was linked to Sutcliffe in the book, that of Alison Morris in Ramsey, Essex on 1 September 1979, took place only 6.5 hours before his known killing of Barbara Leach in Bradford, over 200 miles away.[51][46] Clark claimed in a front-page 2015 article in Dundee's Courier newspaper that Angus Sinclair was responsible for the infamous Templeton Woods murders in the city in 1979 and 1980.
