"Bible John" is a name given to an unidentified serial killer believed to be responsible for the murders of three young women in Glasgow, Scotland, between 1968 and 1969. The case of Bible John remains one of Scotland's most infamous unsolved crimes, with a blend of mystery, fear, and intrigue that continues to fascinate both the public and law enforcement.
The Murders and Investigation
The pattern of the murders was chillingly similar. The victims, Patricia Docker, Jemima McDonald, and Helen Puttock, were all young brunettes who had been out at the Barrowland Ballroom, a popular dance hall in Glasgow. Each was strangled and their bodies were found the next day in different parts of the city. This eerie consistency in the killer's modus operandi led to widespread fear and paranoia, particularly among young women frequenting social venues.
The investigation into these murders was extensive. Police interviewed thousands of people and collected numerous statements. However, the most significant lead came from Helen Puttock's murder. Helen had shared a taxi home with a man she met at the Barrowland Ballroom. Her sister, who was with them for part of the taxi ride, provided a detailed description of the man, including his peculiar conversation which frequently referenced the Bible, leading to the nickname "Bible John".
