0:33
legal team if big wireless companies are

They said yes. And then when I

This episode contains distressing themes
1:31
for affinity and descriptions
1:35
of sexual violence. This podcast is
1:37
intended for a mature
1:39
audience. Listen, a caution is advised.
1:47
After being linked to the murder of a woman,
1:49
she is also a victim of a murder. She
1:51
is also a victim of a murder. She
1:53
is also a victim of a murder. After
1:56
being linked to the murders of three women
1:59
in Glasgow, The perpetrator seemed
2:01
to be able to evade capture
2:03
despite having one of the most
2:05
well-known faces circulating in the press.
2:09
Tens of thousands of statements were
2:11
collected and nearly 1,000 suspects
2:14
were interviewed. Due
2:16
to the religious text he quoted to
2:19
a victim's sister, the nickname
2:21
given to the prime suspects
2:23
was by Belgium. He
2:26
was undetectable but far
2:28
from forgotten. His
2:30
victims had gone to the Barreland's
2:32
Ballroom in Glasgow's East End, a
2:34
well-known venue for single people meeting
2:36
partners. All were black and all
2:38
were strangled. First to die was auxiliary
2:40
nurse Patricia Docker in 1968. Six
2:44
months later the partly clad body of
2:46
Jemima McDonald, a mother of three, was
2:49
found in a derelict tenement. The third
2:51
Helen Patek was found in a backcourt
2:53
in Earl Street, Scotston in October of
2:55
the same year. Welcome
2:58

podcast dedicated to UK
3:06
true crime. Please

listen to Season 9 Episode
3:11
1 for Part 1 of
3:13
this two-part case. In
3:23
April 1971, almost
3:26
two years after Bible John's last
3:28
known victim was murdered, another
3:31
body was found. The
3:34
remains were discovered next to a
3:36
railway line at Babcock and Wilcox
3:38
engineering works in Renfrew. The
3:42
victim had been badly beaten and
3:45
her body was significantly decomposed.
3:48
A note found close by read, Mr.
3:51
Polis, I have killed
3:54
that woman in cold blood. A
3:57
Note was signed by Wilcox. Detective.
4:02
Superintendent Job A T was still
4:04
leading the hunt for the killer
4:06
and he had a team of
4:08
four detectives working alongside him. Forty
4:12
thousand witnesses had been interviewed
4:14
in relation to the inquiry.
4:16
However, there had been no promising
4:18
leads in the case for months.
4:22
And I've left at the scene. And
4:24
Renfrew was alleged to have been written
4:26
by the most wanted man in Scotland.
4:29
They will be. Investigators were skeptical
4:31
that it had actually been penned
4:33
by the killer of the first
4:35
three victims. Patricia. Dhaka.
4:38
To my Mcdonalds! And
4:40
the Hell and pots. After
4:43
an inquiry was undertaken, the
4:45
woman's bound by the railway
4:47
was identified as thirty seven
4:49
year old Dorothea Meet. a
4:52
nurse from Renfrewshire who had gone
4:54
missing six weeks earlier in like
4:56
century. Dorothea.
4:59
Had been at a family party in
5:01
the Cockles Loan area on February twenty
5:03
I. Never made it home
5:06
to tackle in New Crescent. According
5:09
to witnesses who provided statements
5:12
during the missing persons inquiry,
5:14
They. Heard screaming near the bridge
5:16
over the railway line. Flies to
5:18
Mcclain. Laugh and. A
5:22
man named Richard Cobra was identified
5:24
as someone same crossing the bridge
5:26
on the night Doris fail when
5:29
messing. Thirty.
5:32
Eight year old to breath was
5:34
well known to the police, having
5:36
been jailed for two years for
5:38
attacking women in the nineteen sixties.
5:41
Following. His release from prison. To.
5:44
Burrow Say was nicknamed the Snake
5:46
turn to house for a King
5:48
and was brought to Glasgow Sheriff
5:50
Court after being apprehended. Ruff
5:53
escape custody. And broken
5:55
to a nursing home. he
5:58
allegedly raped at 26-year-old
6:01
woman who was suffering from
6:03
terminal cancer. A
6:05
victim died before any legal action
6:07
could be taken. In
6:10
1964, Richard Cabruff went
6:12
on to rape a prison officer's
6:14
wife. He
6:16
had been given trustee status in the
6:18
prison and used his privilege
6:21
to access the victim's home. Cabruff
6:24
was released six years later. Man
6:28
questioned about the murder of Dorothea
6:30
Meacham. He was alleged to have
6:32
said, I've been thinking
6:34
it over and just want to say I
6:37
didn't murder the woman. It
6:39
was an accident. She
6:41
screamed. I didn't steal
6:43
the clothing. I panicked
6:46
and only took them to get rid of them.
6:50
Richard Cabruff denied making the statement to
6:53
police during his trial at Glasgow High
6:55
Court in July 1971 and
6:58
despite the note found next
7:01
to Dorothea's body claiming that
7:03
Bible John was responsible, the
7:05
jury found Cabruff guilty. He
7:09
was sentenced to life in prison.
7:21
In the years that followed, many
7:23
murder cases were believed to have
7:25
possible links to Bible John. On
7:29
October 2nd 1977, the
7:32
body of 36-year-old Hilda Macaulay
7:34
was found in bushes in
7:37
Renfrewshire by two young boys.
7:41
Hilda hadn't come home after a night out
7:43
and she had last been seen
7:46
leaving the Plaza Ballroom in govern
7:48
Hill Glasgow with a smartly dressed
7:50
man. Hilda
7:52
had been beaten and strangled and
7:55
her handbag was missing from the scene.
8:00
Two months later on December 4, the
8:02
body of 23-year-old nurse Agnes
8:05
Cooney was discovered in Moreland
8:07
near Kolderkruch's North Lanarkshire. She
8:11
was last seen two nights earlier
8:13
leaving the Claddersocial Club in Glasgow.
8:17
Her friend Marion McCluskey later told
8:19
the Daily Record that their friend
8:22
group had usually stuck together on
8:24
nights out. Marion
8:26
added, The girls never
8:28
worried about being unsafe when we
8:30
were out, as we would
8:32
usually end up at a pal's house. We
8:35
would even joke about having to be
8:37
careful in case Bible John got us.
8:42
Like Hilda McCauley, Agnes
8:44
had been beaten and her handbag
8:46
was missing. She
8:49
had also been stabbed multiple times.
8:54
In April 1979, 20-year-old Anna
8:56
Kenny was found murdered in
8:58
a shallow grave in Ark
9:00
Isle. She had gone
9:03
missing in August 1977. Similarities
9:08
between the murders in Glasgow
9:10
and the murders of two
9:12
teenage friends in Edinburgh that
9:14
same year didn't go unnoticed.
9:18
On October 15th
9:20
1977, 17-year-old friends Helen Scott
9:23
and Christine Edie went out
9:25
together at the World's End
9:27
Park on the High Street.
9:31
They left together at closing time, but
9:34
neither of the teenagers made it home.
9:37
Their naked bodies were found the
9:39
following day over six miles apart
9:42
in fields in East Lothian. They
9:45
had been beaten, raped and strangled.
9:49
One leg of Christine's tights was tied
9:51
around her neck. The
9:54
other had been used to bind her
9:56
wrists behind her back. Helen
10:00
Scott and Christine Edie's murders were
10:02
linked to a man named Angus
10:04
Sinclair. Sinclair had
10:07
killed a seven-year-old girl named Catherine Greenhill
10:09
in 1961 when he was 16 years
10:13
old. In 1978 he
10:16
murdered 17-year-old Mary Gallagher
10:18
in Glasgow. At
10:21
the time of his conviction for the murder
10:23
of Helen Christine in October 2014 Sinclair
10:28
was serving a life sentence for
10:30
multiple sexual assaults on children under
10:32
the age of 14. He
10:35
was thought to have committed the murders
10:37
with his brother-in-law Gordon Hamilton who
10:40
died 18 years before the trial.
10:43
The murders of Anna Kenny, Hilda
10:45
Macaulay and Agnes Cooney were believed
10:47
to be linked to Sinclair. Still
10:50
he was never charged in relation
10:52
to their deaths. Angus
10:55
Sinclair lived in Glasgow at the time
10:58
of the murders attributed to Bible John
11:01
but he did not resemble any of
11:03
the sketches or photo fits released by
11:05
the police. Glasgow
11:11
investigators began reviewing the case of
11:13
Bible John in the autumn of
11:15
1995 From
11:18
their headquarters at Partik police
11:20
office they uploaded thousands
11:22
of statements from the murdering
11:25
quarries of Patricia Docker, Jemima
11:27
McDonald and Helen Partik into
11:29
a database. Assisted
11:32
by an expert in crime analysis
11:35
the computer system would be able
11:37
to highlight any links between names
11:39
and events in the statements from
11:41
the three murder investigations. Detective
11:44
Chief Inspector Jim McEwen said, For
11:48
the first time modern policing techniques are
11:50
being applied to this case. Detective
11:56
Superintendent Joe Beatty who led
11:58
the original investigation had
12:00
since retired but when
12:02
interviewed he made a shocking revelation.
12:06
He explained that the three
12:08
murders had never really been
12:10
linked stating there is
12:12
certainly evidence that would have come up in
12:14
a DNA test but of course
12:17
we didn't have DNA testing in those
12:19
days. If the man
12:21
was put in front of an ID parade then
12:23
it was up to the witnesses to pick him
12:25
out. Everyone has their
12:27
own idea as to who Bible John
12:30
was but I have never
12:32
been convinced that he carried out all
12:34
three killings. Helen
12:38
Puttock's murder was the main focus
12:40
of the review. My
12:43
sister Jean had provided detailed statements
12:45
about the prime suspect's appearance and
12:47
demeanor but there was also evidence
12:49
found at the scene in 1969
12:51
that could not
12:53
be forensically analyzed until
12:56
decades later. Seaman
12:58
stains had been found on the
13:01
tights wrapped around Helen's neck. In
13:04
1995 forensic technology
13:06
had advanced to the point where
13:09
a DNA profile could be obtained
13:11
from the semen stain and compared
13:13
with suspects. There
13:16
was a man who stood out during
13:18
the reinvestigation however it would
13:20
not be easy to rule him in
13:22
or out of the inquiry. John
13:28
Irving McInnes was 31 years old
13:30
at the time of the Bible
13:32
John murders and a very
13:34
different man than he had been in his
13:36
youth. Raised
13:39
in the Plymouth Brethren Church by
13:41
his overbearing mother Elizabeth, McInnes
13:44
and his siblings were brought
13:46
up to shun alcohol, smoking,
13:48
gambling and places of entertainment.
13:52
McInnes' father died in 1957 when he was
13:54
15 years old and struggling to find some
13:59
guidance. and a sense of belonging, he
14:02
joined the Scots guard when he turned
14:04
18. His former
14:06
platoon instructor recalled him as being
14:08
a sad figure and an awkward
14:11
boy with no confidence. By
14:15
1968, McInnis was back
14:17
in Glasgow and had married a woman
14:19
named Ella. They
14:21
had two children, Lorna and Kenneth
14:24
and McInnis soon began working as
14:26
a furniture salesman. His
14:29
former employer Jim Goodfellow later
14:31
remarked, He was
14:33
a real oddball, a loner,
14:36
and was always spouting the Bible. I
14:39
remember interviewing McInnis because he was
14:41
so smart, tidy, polite and quiet.
14:44
Even then he was quoting the Bible.
14:50
McInnis had since left the Plymouth brethren
14:52
and was known to drink and gamble
14:54
a lot. His
14:57
boss said that McInnis often missed
14:59
meetings on Thursday nights because he
15:01
would go to the Barrowland Ballroom
15:03
instead. Jock Fisher,
15:05
a friend of McInnis said, I
15:08
used to go to Barrowland at the same time
15:10
as John. He was always
15:12
really smartly dressed, always
15:15
wore a cravat, and
15:17
in the pub he was always quoting the
15:19
Bible. One of his
15:21
favourite quotes was from the Corinthians. He
15:24
used to say, Although
15:26
I speak with tongues of men
15:28
and angels and have no charity,
15:31
I am nothing. In
15:35
the early 1970s, McInnis and
15:37
Ella divorced and she moved
15:39
away with their two children.
15:43
He was seen as a loner and
15:45
McInnis became a recluse and attempted
15:48
to end his life multiple times.
15:51
In his final attempt in April 1980, he
15:55
could not be revived after he severed
15:57
an artery in his upper arm. During
16:03
the review of Helen Puttock's murder,
16:06
John McInnes's name came up. Investigators
16:09
obtained DNA from McInnes's relatives
16:12
to compare with the semen
16:14
sample found on Helen Puttock's
16:16
tights. Analysts
16:18
concluded that there was a partial
16:21
match between his siblings DNA and
16:23
the DNA found in 1969. In
16:28
January 1996, a Strathclype
16:30
police spokesman, Superintendent Louis
16:32
Munn, was confident in
16:34
the direction of the
16:36
investigation. He said, Further
16:40
inquiries have yet to be made,
16:42
but we think we may know the
16:45
identity of the person who may
16:47
have been responsible for the death
16:49
of Helen Puttock. Police
16:52
in Glasgow may be a step closer
16:54
to discovering the identity of a serial
16:56
killer who murdered three women in the
16:58
1960s. Even if
17:00
the forensic tests show John McInnes killed
17:03
Helen Puttock, they won't necessarily prove he
17:05
killed the other two women, but
17:07
they could help finally resolve the
17:10
mystery of who was Bible John.
17:12
Advances in DNA testing mean that police
17:15
have more of a chance of concluding
17:17
long-running unsolved murder investigations like the Bible
17:19
John killings and the world's end murders
17:21
in Edinburgh, where a team of detectives
17:23
are reviewing evidence from the deaths of
17:26
Helen Anne Stott and Christine Edith to
17:28
see if the new DNA tests might
17:30
help track down their killers. Helen
17:37
Puttock's widow and George struggled
17:39
to cope when her murder
17:41
investigation was reopened. After
17:44
the police informed him that they were reviewing
17:46
the case, he suffered a
17:49
heart attack. George
17:51
told the Daily Record that he had
17:53
come up with his own theories in
17:55
the decade since Helen was murdered. For
17:59
years, I was... was convinced Helen had
18:01
been killed by the Yorkshire Ripper.
18:04
I had managed to link him to the place
18:06
and the time. What everyone
18:09
didn't seem to understand all these
18:11
years was that I was dying
18:13
in sight. All these
18:15
years of pain and anger. It
18:18
was so bad that I never had the
18:20
courage to visit her grave after the funeral.
18:25
George spoke about the media coverage at
18:27
the time of Helen's death and
18:29
how she had been portrayed. He
18:32
had filed lawsuits to defend his
18:34
wife's reputation. People
18:37
made her out to be at heart. That's
18:40
what hurts the most. I
18:42
want people to know what Helen really
18:44
was. A terrific
18:46
mum and a vivacious
18:48
girl. We
18:52
married in 1973 and
18:55
his new wife Mavis gave birth
18:57
to a son Mark who was
18:59
raised alongside David and Michael. The
19:02
sons George shared with Helen. Speaking
19:06
about the news that the police thought
19:08
they knew the identity of Helen's killer,
19:11
George said, I would be
19:13
relieved if they proved beyond any question
19:15
that this person had done it. The
19:18
police need to put the record straight.
19:21
They have come in for an awful lot
19:23
of criticism. I know the efforts
19:25
that went in at that time. They
19:28
couldn't have done anything more. It
19:31
would be a vindication of their efforts if
19:33
they got him. It
19:35
would be proof that they never ever
19:37
gave up. George
19:40
and Helen's son David who was 31
19:42
years old at the time added, I
19:46
would have killed the murderer no question.
19:49
I wanted to see him go through the
19:51
same pain as mum did. I
19:53
will never forget that he got away with
19:55
this. I will never
19:57
forgive him or his family. I
20:00
just can't. What really
20:02
hurts is that I didn't know my
20:04
mum better. I didn't
20:06
see how pretty she was like dad
20:08
describes her. I was too
20:11
young to know her well." The
20:17
police applied to the Procurator
20:19
Fiscal for permission to exhume
20:21
John McInnes' remains from a
20:23
cemetery in Stonehouse, South Lanarkshire
20:25
in late January 1996. Dr.
20:31
Mary Cassidy, a top forensic pathologist
20:33
who later became the state pathologist
20:35
in Ireland, was tasked with handling
20:38
the exhumation on behalf of the
20:40
Crown. She said at
20:42
the time, there will be no
20:45
doubt whether this is Bible John or
20:47
not. If DNA testing
20:49
had been around in the days of
20:51
Jack the Ripper, things could have been
20:53
very different. I've only
20:56
been at one exhumation before, and
20:58
I was amazed at how much of the body
21:00
was left. It all
21:03
depends on soil conditions, but
21:05
we hope to find more than just
21:07
a pile of bones. Pathologists
21:10
are beginning tests on the body of
21:12
the man police believe may be Bible
21:14
John. Type security surrounded the
21:16
five-hour operation which began at dawn.
21:18
Police now hope scientific tests will
21:21
bring to an end a 27-year
21:23
murder mystery. On
21:26
the morning of February 1, 1996,
21:30
temperatures were below freezing and
21:32
a tent had been erected
21:34
over John McInnes' grave site
21:36
in Stonehouse Cemetery. His
21:40
casket had been placed on top of
21:42
his father's casket, and
21:44
when his mother died in 1983,
21:47
she was also interred in the same grave.
21:51
Dr. Cassidy wasn't phased by
21:53
the difficult task. She
21:55
remarked, Death
21:57
is my job. I deal
21:59
with it. it and see it first
22:02
hand every day. It's not
22:04
the dead person I feel sorry for, it's
22:07
the relatives or in a case like
22:09
this the victims. This
22:12
is a pretty straightforward task but
22:14
murders are what makes this job exciting.
22:18
Obviously this is a particularly
22:20
fascinating case and I'm
22:22
delighted to be involved." The
22:25
grim task of exhuming the grave of
22:27
John McInnes began at first light this
22:29
morning. Detectives believe the former soldier
22:32
who committed suicide in 1980 was the serial
22:34
killer Bible
22:37
John who terrorized Glasgow in
22:39
the 1960s. In
22:41
the extreme cold police had to use
22:43
pneumatic drills to penetrate the frozen ground.
22:46
Then out of sight two forensic
22:48
pathologists began the task of unearthing
22:50
the remains. About 50
22:52
journalists and photographers kept at
22:55
a respectable distance witnessed today's
22:57
exhumation. A quarter of a
22:59
century after the murders the investigation
23:01
is once again making the headlines.
23:04
It will take pathologists in Glasgow
23:06
around three weeks to complete the
23:08
DNA tests. Then police and the
23:10
families of his victims will finally
23:12
know whether or not John McInnes
23:15
was Bible John. Once
23:17
McInnes's casket was removed from the
23:20
grave, his body was
23:22
taken to the mortuary where hair
23:24
and bone samples were extracted. The
23:27
samples were then sent to the
23:29
forensic laboratory for McInnes's DNA to
23:32
be compared to the semen sample
23:34
found on Helen Puttock's types. The
23:37
process of matching DNA samples which has
23:39
become commonly known as genetic fingerprinting is
23:41
a complex and precise science with no
23:44
known shortcuts. First of all you have
23:46
to dissolve the bone. Once you've dissolved
23:48
the bone you can extract away all
23:51
the biomolecules that you're not interested in such
23:53
as protein leaving you with a DNA solution.
23:56
You can then take that DNA solution and amplify
23:58
specific regions of it that you want. interested
24:00
in. If it's been moist, if it's
24:02
been warm, the DNA starts to break
24:04
down. DNA within us at the moment
24:07
is a long molecule. The
24:09
longer it leaves after death, the more it
24:11
breaks down, the more it becomes difficult to
24:13
get an accurate DNA profile from it. Investigators
24:18
had hoped that forensic ondontologists
24:20
could examine McInnes's teeth to
24:22
compare them with a bite
24:24
mark inflicted on Helen Puttock,
24:26
but McInnes had been wearing
24:28
dentures at the time of
24:30
his death. Offering
24:33
his opinion, Glasgow University
24:36
oral pathology professor Donald
24:38
McDonald remarked, the
24:40
mark on the right wrist of Helen
24:42
Puttock could be a bite caused by
24:44
the teeth of John McInnes. Because
24:47
of the limited detail evident in the
24:49
bite, it is not possible
24:52
to make a valid judgment about the
24:54
probability that the mark on Helen Puttock's
24:56
wrist was a bite made by John
24:59
McInnes. The odd
25:01
ontological evidence does not therefore
25:03
point clearly or convincingly to
25:05
John Irving McInnes as being
25:07
the originator of a bite.
25:15
John Clyde police say DNA tests are
25:17
continuing on the remains of the man
25:19
they believe was the 60s serial killer
25:22
Bible John, and they
25:24
warn a final outcome in the
25:26
complex scientific process is not imminent.
25:29
That news has enraged the family
25:32
of former soldier John McInnes. His
25:34
remains were exhumed from a lanyxured graveyard
25:36
more than two months ago. Now
25:39
his relatives say detectives should publish
25:41
their findings or clear the McInnes
25:43
family name. Initially the police had
25:45
high hopes of an early and positive
25:48
DNA match, proving McInnes had raped and
25:50
murdered Helen Puttock all those years ago.
25:52
And that's even using samples from a
25:55
corpse and a 16 year
25:57
old one at that, as in the case
25:59
of John Irving. McInnis. After
26:06
months of delays, the
26:08
Crown Office in Edinburgh finally issued
26:10
a statement about the DNA results.
26:13
Released on news agency WIRES within the
26:16
past hour, a five-page statement from the
26:18
Crown Office saying there is not sufficient
26:20
evidence to link John McInnis to the
26:22
scene of the murder of Helen Puttock.
26:25
It adds there is no evidence to
26:27
suggest that stains are here left near
26:29
the body of Helen Puttock originated from
26:31
John McInnis. I would hope there
26:33
is a public apology for the
26:35
McInnis family for the way they have been
26:37
treated by this whole appalling escapade. And
26:40
I hope it is given the same publicity as
26:42
all the inferences and allegations was made five months
26:45
ago. Strathclyde Police's own labs
26:47
couldn't make a match. It's believed
26:49
there were problems separating DNA from
26:51
bone fragments. Samples were then
26:53
sent to more sophisticated labs at Cambridge
26:56
University and Munich, where again no match
26:58
could be made. Tonight's development brings to
27:00
an end an awkward five months for
27:02
Strathclyde Police, but the Bible John Affair
27:05
is still far from over. The
27:09
results were yet another devastating
27:11
blow for Helen Puttock's widower
27:13
George, who spoke of how
27:15
the police had raised not only his
27:17
hopes, but the hopes of his
27:19
sons. George
27:22
told the Daily Record, Every
27:24
time an inquiry into Helen's murder
27:27
is mentioned, it brings back
27:29
all the grief for myself and my
27:31
family. And if they don't
27:33
close the inquiry for good, uncertain
27:36
something like this will happen again.
27:39
I have been treated dreadfully. Strathclyde
27:42
Police seem to have forgotten there
27:44
are people who are still suffering.
27:47
I feel for the family of John
27:49
McInnis. They don't deserve
27:51
this either. Decades
27:56
later, Dr. Mary Cassidy was interviewed
27:58
about her life. life as
28:00
a forensic pathologist. She
28:03
voiced her opinion that a
28:05
definitive result may have been
28:07
possible if the investigators had
28:09
waited ten more years before
28:12
exhuming John McInnis. DNA
28:15
at that time just wasn't quite there
28:17
yet for that kind of material. It
28:20
is now, she said. With
28:22
the Bible John 1 we were just a
28:24
wee bit premature in rushing to do it
28:26
at that time, but
28:29
hindsight is a wonderful thing.

In 1993, a woman had
31:26
come forward to tell the
31:28
police that she believed she
31:30
knew the true identity of
31:32
Bible John. 42-year-old Evelyn George
31:35
had seen news articles about
31:37
the case and felt that
31:39
her 63-year-old brother-in-law fit the
31:41
bill. James Hunter
31:44
had sexually abused Evelyn from the
31:46
age of 3 until
31:48
she was 17 years old. She
31:51
later told the daily record. The
31:55
abuse happened hundreds of times and
31:57
often after he finished he would resign.
32:00
verses of the Bible at me. Four
32:03
years ago there were stories in
32:05
the papers about Bible John. That's
32:08
when I went to police. Evelyn
32:12
explained that she had put what had happened
32:14
to the back of her mind for years,
32:17
but it resurfaced when she was
32:19
in her mid-twenties. When
32:22
she told her family members about the
32:24
abuse she endured throughout her childhood, they
32:27
stopped speaking to her until another
32:29
victim came forward. It
32:32
was only then they accepted Evelyn
32:34
had been telling the truth. James
32:39
Hunter was ultimately cleared of any
32:42
involvement in the murders attributed to
32:44
Bible John. He
32:46
was however sentenced to 12 years in
32:48
prison for sexual abuse in March 1997.
32:57
Detective Superintendent Joe Beattie who
32:59
had originally led the investigation
33:01
into Bible John passed
33:04
away in February 2000. He
33:07
had told reporters multiple times that
33:10
he was never convinced that the
33:12
murders of Patricia Dokker, Jemima McDonald
33:14
and Helen Partik were the work
33:17
of a serial killer. In
33:24
October 2000, a new
33:27
suspect emerged when a US
33:29
citizen contacted psychologist Ian Stephen
33:32
after reading a profile of the
33:34
killer the professor had published online.
33:38
Professor Stephen was told that a
33:40
relative of the informant had been
33:42
behaving strangely in the late 1960s
33:44
when he was living in Glasgow
33:46
with his wife and children. The
33:50
man was the son of a police officer and
33:52
had been a member of the boys brigade.
33:56
He also bore a resemblance to the
33:58
photo-fit of Bible John. and
34:00
he had moved to England in 1970. After
34:06
Professor Stephen passed this information
34:08
on to Strathclyde police, retired
34:10
CID officer Caroline Hughes told
34:13
the press, this
34:15
is fascinating because a lot of people
34:17
who worked on this at the time
34:19
believed it was a police officer who
34:21
was responsible or at least someone with
34:24
the knowledge of the police. The
34:26
other interesting aspect is the fact that
34:29
this man has a lapel badge on
34:31
his suit jacket, which could
34:33
tie in with the boys brigade connection.
34:36
Bible John's teeth were very
34:38
distinctive, almost as good as
34:40
a fingerprint, and if this
34:42
man's dental records could be sourced, the
34:45
officers would know very quickly if they
34:47
had the right man. As
34:51
it turned out the man had
34:53
been questioned and eliminated from the
34:55
inquiry in 1970. The
35:03
case continued to be reviewed
35:05
periodically and several men
35:07
who had been questioned during the
35:09
original investigation were asked to provide
35:12
DNA samples. In
35:15
2004 DNA found at the
35:17
scene of a minor crime was said
35:19
to be an 80% match to the
35:22
DNA found on Helen Puttack's clothing. Detective
35:25
Chief Superintendent David Swindle was
35:28
leading the inquiry and
35:30
it was reported that the police
35:32
were confident the person who committed
35:34
the minor crime was related to
35:36
Bible John. However
35:39
frustratingly nothing more came of
35:41
the supposed breakthrough. Later
35:47
that year a retired detective revealed
35:49
that he believed Bible John's words
35:51
would be the key to identifying
35:54
Helen Puttack's killer. The
35:56
former officer disclosed that the police
35:58
had still not revealed the exact
36:01
chapter that the killer had mentioned.
36:04
Good. It was a
36:06
specific text and one which is popular
36:08
to this day. If
36:10
I started the sentence 90% of
36:13
people could finish it, that's
36:15
how well known it is. The
36:18
man running the inquiry, Jobiti, was
36:20
a lovely man, but he
36:22
also gave a lot of information to the
36:24
press at the time. There
36:26
was hardly anything left over and
36:29
the bible quote was something which
36:31
we tried to protect. The
36:36
following year Strathclyde police opened
36:39
an unsolved cold case unit
36:41
led by Detective Superintendent Kenny
36:43
Waters. The
36:46
officer pledged to the public that
36:48
the unit would examine the cases
36:50
where no one has been detected
36:52
or where someone has been reported
36:54
to the Crown Office, but a
36:56
decision has been taken not to
36:58
proceed. Some
37:00
of the cases will predate 1975,
37:02
Waters said, and
37:05
one such as those which fall
37:07
under the bible John Banner will
37:09
be included. In
37:13
October 2005, Les
37:16
Brown, a retired detective chief inspector
37:18
who had been a member of
37:21
the serious crime squad in Glasgow
37:23
in the late 60s, passed on
37:25
information to the Unsolved Cold Case
37:27
Unit about someone he believed matched
37:30
the description of Bible John. Brown
37:33
said that in late 1969 he
37:36
had arrested a man outside the
37:38
Barrowland Ballroom following reports that the
37:40
individual had been arguing with a
37:43
woman he met inside. The
37:46
man told DCI Brown that his name
37:48
was John White and that he lived
37:50
on St. Andrew Street. It
37:53
Was later determined that he had given
37:55
a false name and in fact lived
37:57
with his mother in the Gourbles. Acting
38:01
the there could be a connection to
38:03
the Bible John investigation. Brown.
38:05
Were cold. The cold in
38:08
the officer in charge of the case. He.
38:10
Walked around him once and said that's
38:12
the nearest yet but it's not him.
38:15
We. Were told to let him go on. What
38:18
could we do? We. Had told
38:20
the officer in charge. In the next day
38:23
we will hold a way to another murder.
38:26
After we arrested him the mud to
38:28
start. A might or
38:30
might not be significant. In
38:33
hindsight, maybe we should not have
38:35
let him got. A
38:39
few years later, less brown spoke
38:41
with another Glasgow detect says he
38:43
had arrested a man outside the
38:45
Barrow land over. The
38:47
man had been hit in the head with
38:50
a baton and needed to be taken to
38:52
the hospital states. And
38:54
he's hangs house were removed. He managed
38:56
to escape. The
38:58
man had told Detective Chief Inspector
39:01
Braun Mclaughlin that his name was
39:03
John White. And that he
39:05
lives in Suntan. True, straight. As
39:08
Brown told The herald, It. Wasn't
39:10
just that he matched the description or
39:12
gave a false nine. It
39:15
was his whole demeanor. This
39:17
was a guy who was just about to take
39:19
a girl haim to wherever. And he's
39:21
been interrupted in that process. It
39:24
think he'd be annoyed. But. He
39:26
never batted an eye. He
39:30
just so happens that in December two
39:32
thousand and five. A man
39:34
named John Edgar identified himself as
39:36
the man lead Brown had spoken
39:39
about. Edgar explained that
39:41
he had jumped out of a window
39:43
at the Royal Infirmary because he was
39:46
trunks. However, he maintained
39:48
that he had nothing to do with
39:50
the mud is. That. Cassette.
39:53
On. Gives them Dna say once. it's
39:55
an odd sue anyone who said I
39:57
was Bible John. Mr.
40:00
hope they catch the bastard who did it.
40:03
I've been ribbed by my friends for
40:05
years after I told them I was
40:07
arrested twice. I was
40:09
even told to stand in a line-up so
40:11
Helen Puttak's sister could take a look at
40:13
me." Joe Beatty heading
40:15
the investigation was with her as she
40:17
looked at the line-up, but
40:19
she didn't pick me out. In
40:24
a book Les Brown released earlier
40:26
that year, he described former detective
40:28
Joe Beatty's reluctance to consider suspects
40:31
that did not match the fight
40:33
I fed. The
40:35
former detective chief inspector wrote,
40:38
by that time Joe had developed
40:40
an emperor complex. He was
40:42
so obsessed with catching Bible John,
40:45
he believed he'd instantly recognise
40:47
him. DCI
40:51
Brian McLaughlin spoke out in
40:54
2012 about the description of
40:56
Bible John that had been
40:58
published based on Helen's sister
41:01
Jean's recollection. He
41:03
said that the description given by the
41:05
manager of the Barrowland Ballroom was different
41:08
from the one the police focused on.
41:11
McLaughlin told the Express
41:13
newspaper. He was a
41:15
busy place and the stewards had
41:17
to know their stuff. The
41:19
man in charge was particularly good at his
41:22
job and had a good memory
41:24
for faces. The man who
41:26
left the ballroom with Helen Puttak got into
41:28
an argument with him over some money that
41:30
was stuck in a cigarette machine. It
41:33
was a dispute over 10 pence. It sounds
41:36
ridiculous now, but it was the price of
41:39
a pint in those days. Eventually
41:41
the man agreed to come back the next
41:43
day to collect his money when the machine
41:46
had been emptied, but of
41:48
course he never did. The manager
41:50
was never happy with the painting, both
41:53
facially or the colour of his hair,
41:56
and was very impressed with him as a
41:58
witness. In
42:05
May 2007, 61-year-old
42:08
Glasgow native Peter Tobin was
42:10
convicted of murdering a 23-year-old
42:14
Polish student named Angelica Kluk
42:16
at a church in Glasgow.
42:19
Tobin had a history of violent
42:21
sexual assault against young girls and
42:23
women and his former
42:25
wives recounted years of horrific
42:27
sexual and physical abuse, some
42:30
of which had been prompted by the
42:32
fact that they were menstruating. Sanitary
42:35
pads had been found by
42:37
the bodies of Patricia Dokker,
42:39
Jemima McDonald and Helen Parthok.
42:42
Tobin had been in his early twenties at
42:45
the time of the Bible John murders and
42:48
was known to go out to dance halls in
42:50
Glasgow before he moved to Brighton in 1969, around
42:52
the time
42:55
that the killing stopped. An
42:58
investigation called Operation Anagram was set
43:00
up to see if there were
43:03
any links between Tobin and Unsolved
43:05
Homicides throughout the UK. Because
43:09
of Tobin's age, religious background, past
43:11
violent offending and the suggestion that
43:13
he had attacked ex-partners while they
43:16
were on their period. The
43:18
police had to consider the possibility that
43:20
he was Bible John. In
43:24
2011 a woman named Patricia Chambers
43:26
came forward to report that she
43:28
had been raped by a man
43:30
she met at the Barreland Ballroom
43:32
in the late 1960s. While
43:36
watching a crime watch appeal about
43:38
Peter Tobin, she recognised
43:41
him as her attacker. I've
43:44
no doubt in my mind that Bible
43:46
John and Peter Tobin are the same
43:49
person, she said. Everything
43:51
was the same about my attack,
43:54
the place where Bible John met women
43:56
and what he did to them. I
43:59
know it's Tobin. No
44:03
conclusive link was found between Peter
44:05
Tobin and Bible John but the
44:07
police did uncover two bodies in
44:09
the garden of a house Tobin
44:11
lived in in Margate. Tobin
44:15
allegedly claimed to a psychiatrist that he
44:17
had killed over 40 women
44:20
and go did the police to prove
44:22
it. He
44:24
died in custody in October 2022. In
44:33
February 2008, Patricia
44:36
Dockers son Alex spoke out for the
44:38
first time in 40 years. He
44:42
described how he feels whenever he sees
44:44
a picture of his mother on the
44:47
television or in the newspapers. Alex
44:50
told the daily record, There
44:53
is the four-year-old part of me
44:55
that recognizes the lady as my
44:57
mother, but the rational me,
45:00
the adult, sees her in
45:02
a more detached way. I
45:05
only have the vaguest memories, little
45:08
things like walking in a park with
45:10
her in Glasgow. I
45:12
do feel dreadfully sorry that her life was
45:14
ended in such a way and at such
45:16
a point where she was barely into her
45:19
20s. I
45:21
can't say that I have suffered in a
45:23
tangible way. It is
45:25
difficult to gauge how it may have affected
45:27
me. Who knows what
45:30
it would have been like if she hadn't
45:32
died. Two
45:36
years later Helen Puttock's sister Jean
45:38
who had provided the description of
45:40
the prime suspect passed
45:42
away aged 74. Helen's
45:46
widower George believed the police had
45:48
focused too much on Jean's evidence.
45:52
In 2021 George said, The
45:55
police placed too much pressure on Jean
45:58
who would have been drunk that night. as well.
46:01
Her recollections would have been hazy.
46:05
I think a lot of mistakes were made and
46:07
now there is no evidence so
46:09
I don't think we'll ever get any answers."
46:13
Jean gave descriptions but she'd had
46:15
some whiskies before going to the
46:17
Barrowlands. Police should
46:19
have looked for more witnesses but
46:22
Joe B.T. the officer in charge
46:24
was said that she was the
46:27
only reliable true witness. Retired
46:31
Glasgow detective Joe Jackson agreed
46:34
with George Patek. He
46:37
said that the police should have considered
46:39
the description given by the bouncers and
46:41
the manager who saw the man with
46:43
Helen and Jean. The
46:45
former detective added their evidence
46:48
did not seem to count for much
46:50
with Mr. B.T. Many
46:54
believed that the murders had been
46:56
committed by different people and that the
46:59
media had created a myth through the
47:01
tunnel vision of the investigating officers who
47:04
seemed to be looking for a
47:06
single killer who didn't exist. The
47:10
families of the victims, Patricia
47:12
Dokker, Jemima McDonald
47:14
and Helen Patek, never
47:17
recovered from the horrifying ordeal
47:19
they endured. In
47:24
2021 George Patek spoke candidly about
47:26
the impact Helen's murder had on
47:28
their youngest son Michael. He
47:31
said, sadly Michael
47:34
passed away last year.
47:36
He was tormented by Helen's
47:38
death. My son never
47:40
got over the loss of his mother and
47:43
was affected by it his whole life.
47:46
He found out about her murder by mistake
47:48
from a school friend as I had wanted
47:50
to wait until he was about 12 before
47:53
telling both my boys what happened,
47:56
but Michael found out when he was about 8
47:58
or so. and from that
48:01
moment on he was tormented. It
48:04
was very sad. Michael
48:06
struggled his whole life with
48:08
Helen's death. In
48:12
May 2022, David
48:14
Putter Kellan's surviving son voiced his
48:16
wish that the police would look
48:19
at the murders again to try
48:21
and get some closure for the
48:23
families. My
48:25
dad George is in his eighties and
48:27
has poor health. The
48:29
murder still haunts him and he
48:31
deserves some justice. So
48:33
does my mum. Dad
48:35
didn't think it was right that me and
48:37
my brother Michael knew at such a young
48:40
age and tried to shield us from that,
48:43
but we had heard some things from other
48:45
kids and had a vague awareness so dad
48:47
had to sit us down and tell us
48:49
what happened to mum. For
48:52
a long time afterwards I suffered
48:54
nightmares and struggled with it, but
48:56
over the years I've read everything I could on
48:59
it, but it often feels
49:01
like I'm walking a tightrope with my
49:03
dad. I don't want to
49:05
bring back sad memories for him, so
49:08
I try not to ask him too much.
49:13
George Putter passed away later
49:15
that year. A
49:20
month earlier, Jemima McDonald's great-granddaughter
49:22
Sammy had told a reporter
49:24
for the daily record that
49:26
she wondered if the murder
49:28
had been racially motivated. The
49:31
father of Jemima's youngest children was
49:33
a man from the West Indies
49:35
called Bunny Motley. Sammy
49:38
remarked, There are
49:40
so many ifs and buts about
49:42
my great-grand's murder. Perhaps
49:45
she told the man who killed
49:47
her about her children and bunny.
49:50
I have wondered if he killed her
49:52
because he didn't approve of that kind
49:54
of relationship. Racism
49:58
and sexism were and
50:00
are not unusual. While
50:03
researching the case for a BBC
50:06
podcast, journalist Audrey Gillian
50:08
uncovered police reports that
50:10
suggested bias was present
50:12
within the investigation. The
50:15
victims were described as being promiscuous
50:18
and fond of a good time.
50:21
Gillian said, I
50:24
can see no empathy anywhere. There
50:26
is however the sense that their behaviours
50:28
may very well have led to their
50:31
death. These victims are
50:33
being judged and blamed for what happened
50:35
to them even. The reports
50:37
also reveals the attitudes of the
50:40
detectives who wrote them, prejudices
50:42
that may have blinded them
50:44
in their investigations. It
50:47
is time that prejudice was exposed.
50:59
So where are we now? After
51:03
new photo fits alleged to resemble
51:06
Bible John were released in 2022,
51:08
an anonymous source
51:10
contacted a reporter for the daily
51:13
record explaining that she suspected
51:15
a man who had worked in
51:17
a lab at the Glasgow Royal
51:19
Infirmary. This individual
51:22
had a religious background, spoke
51:24
of often going to dance halls at
51:26
the weekend and his appearance
51:28
was similar to the photo fit. His
51:33
behaviour was increasingly bizarre and
51:35
worrying and he got into trouble
51:37
a few times. He died
51:40
in the mid 70s having killed
51:42
himself in the most awful of manners.
51:45
Bible John was said to have told
51:47
Helen Puttock and Jean Langford he worked
51:49
in a lab. I
51:52
am convinced he is a viable
51:54
suspect. The
51:58
following year a woman named Paul Pauline
52:00
Badger reported that she believed
52:02
Bible John was a lab
52:04
technician posted at RAF Halton
52:06
in Buckinghamshire. Pauline
52:09
told author Francisco Garcia that
52:11
she suspected the man was
52:13
responsible for the unsolved murder
52:15
of 19-year-old Rita Ellis who
52:17
was training at the base.
52:21
Rita had been found beaten, raped and
52:23
strangled with her own underwear on November
52:25
12, 1967. The
52:30
previous day she had been due to
52:32
babysit for a senior officer and
52:35
while waiting to be collected it is
52:37
reported that she got into a vehicle
52:39
belonging to the killer. There
52:43
were others who suspected that the
52:45
man responsible for the string of
52:47
murders in the late 1960s was
52:49
someone in a position of power.
52:52
In a book by former police officer
52:54
Paul Harrison released in 2012 called Dancing
52:56
with the Devil.
53:00
The author described suspicions that Bible
53:02
John was a member of the
53:04
police force. Speaking
53:07
about the evidence provided by Helen
53:09
Puttock's sister G, Harrison
53:11
wrote, she was adamant
53:13
that she saw him show a warrant card
53:15
to her sister before they left the dance
53:18
hall. Beatty showed her
53:20
his own warrant card and Gene said
53:22
it was identical to the one Bible
53:24
John had shown her sister. The
53:28
man who was with Gene that
53:30
night known only as Castle Milk
53:32
John also told her he suspected
53:34
Helen's bow was an undercover cop.
53:38
Perhaps that is why he didn't get
53:40
into their taxi and why he's never
53:42
come forward. In
53:47
BBC interviews with Jim McEwen and
53:50
Brian Hughes, the detectives who
53:52
had reinvestigated the case in 1995. It
53:56
was revealed that a business card from
53:58
the furniture store wedged Ervin
54:00
McInnis worked was found at the
54:02
scene of Helen Patek's murder. McInnis
54:06
was interviewed a few days later but
54:09
McEwen and Hughes explained that there was
54:11
no record of him being put on
54:14
an identity parade in front of Helen's
54:16
sister Jean. Retired
54:18
DCI Jim McEwen told reporter
54:21
Audrey Gillian, he
54:23
doesn't appear anywhere in the initial
54:25
statements. It was us that
54:27
uncovered him. John Ervin
54:29
McInnis does not appear in the 1969 inquiry
54:31
anywhere. McEwen
54:36
disclosed that when he showed a photograph
54:38
of McInnis to the bouncer from the
54:40
Barrowland Ballroom, who saw Helen Jean and
54:43
the two Johns that night, he
54:45
recognized him. McInnis
54:48
was also identified by the taxi driver
54:50
who dropped Helen off when he was
54:52
shown a photo lineup in 1995. It
54:57
was suggested that McInnis's possible
54:59
involvement was covered up as
55:02
his cousin Jim McInnis was a
55:04
detective working on the case. Speaking
55:10
with the daily record in 2023,
55:14
Jemima McDonald-san Allen revealed that
55:16
the case was being re-examined
55:18
by Police Scotland under the
55:21
code name Operation Banyan. Allen
55:24
said, when the police officer
55:26
phoned and said they were going to
55:28
re-investigate, that was a bit of a
55:31
bombshell. I never imagined that they
55:33
would re-look at it all. I'm
55:35
not expecting that much, to be honest.
55:38
They might openly admit these murders
55:40
were not investigated properly in the
55:42
first place and we might get
55:44
an apology over the way they
55:46
were investigated. If they
55:49
didn't investigate it properly then
55:51
that impacted on so many
55:53
people so badly. Alex
55:56
Docker, Patricia's son, added an
55:59
apology. you would of course be
56:01
appreciated, but to be
56:03
meaningful it needs detail on exactly what
56:06
the apology is for and what the
56:08
consequences are. To me
56:10
it would mean that the Bible John Leed
56:12
is at the very least suspect, and
56:15
opens the real story of
56:18
poor judgement, misdirection and a
56:20
failed investigation. Let's
56:22
not forget the Yorkshire Ripper case floundered
56:25
on an assumption and lives
56:27
were lost as a result, so there
56:29
are lessons to be learned. I
56:32
thank the police for making this effort and
56:35
look forward to the conclusions. Operation
56:42
Banyan was set up to examine
56:44
how the original investigations into the
56:47
murders of Patricia Docher, Jemima MacDonald
56:49
and Helen Puttick were handled, and
56:52
the actions of the officers involved.
56:56
As of March 2024, there
57:00
has been no update from the
57:02
Major Crimes Unit which is carrying
57:04
out the investigation. Thank
57:18
you for listening, and special thanks
57:20
to our Patrons for their support.
