In the late 1960s, a man known only as Bible John terrorized the city of Glasgow, claiming the lives of three women and

leaving behind one of Scotland’s most chilling unsolved mysteries. Patricia Docker, Jemima McDonald, and Helen Puttock

all fell victim to this elusive killer after nights out at the Barrowland Ballroom. Despite a city-wide manhunt and witness descriptions, Bible John vanished into the night, never to be seen again.

In this episode of Wanted, we dive deep into the investigation, exploring the eerie details of the murders, the frustrating red herrings, and the questions that still haunt Scotland today. Was Bible John a religious zealot, or did he use scripture as a mask for his darker impulses? And after more than 50 years, could the mystery of his identity ever be solved?
