The families have asked the Yorkshire Ripper to give them a full confession of all their alleged crimes before they die.
Peter Sutcliffe, now 74 and overweight, is said to be “ seriously ill ” after refusing treatment for coronavirus.
He spent five nights in the hospital, but was returned to HMP Frankland in Durham on Monday.
Now, the sister of a woman who Sutcliffe is believed to have murdered has asked the serial killer to tell them the truth.
Gloria Booth, 29, was strangled and thrown into a park in 1971.
His family is convinced that Peter Sutcliffe was the culprit.
Gloria’s sister, Elsie Cowen, 69, of Newcastle, told the Mirror: “What has she got to lose now? We think he killed her, but we need you to tell us.
“I would like you to make a confession to me to reassure my family.
“It would be good if justice was done. You have had a heart attack, you have Covid. It doesn’t look good, does it?
“He is an evil and horrible man who deserves to die. But I don’t think he will ever admit it. “
Gloria’s mutilated body was found in Ruislip, West London, atop brambles with numerous bite marks made by a man with hollow teeth.
Sutcliffe, the trucker with the gaping teeth, was visiting the area at the time.
Elsie’s calls to the truth are backed by Mo Lea, who was attacked with a hammer and screwdriver in Leeds in 1980. Her spinal cord was nearly severed and her head was repeatedly hit.
She believes Sutcliffe was the attacker.
Mo, 61, said yesterday: “Everyone knows he tried to kill me, but we need him to tell us the truth.”
The retired lecturer, from Bedford, said: “I’m afraid he will never confess … He lacks respect for life or empathy.”
Sutcliffe of Bradford was sentenced in 1981 to 20 life sentences for murdering 13 women and attempting to kill seven more in Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.
Retired police officer Chris Clark, 68, claims Sutcliffe was responsible for up to 22 more murders and 13 other attacks.
The former intelligence officer said: “It would be nice if he made a deathbed confession of all the other attacks and murders he committed.”
The Byford Report on the original Ripper case also found that Sutcliffe could have been responsible for more crimes, listing 13 possible crimes.
He was taken to the hospital on Sunday. Inmate number 20 with heart disease refuses treatment and suffers from coronavirus.
Sutcliffe, 74, is expected to be returned to Frankland Prison in Co Durham because doctors at the hospital have been unable to treat him against his wishes.
West Yorkshire Police said they “review and, where possible, re-investigate all unsolved homicides and serious crimes to bring offenders to justice.”
