The Scottish Serial Killer known as "Bible John" killed at least three women between February 1968 and October 1969. Each victim was picked up at the Barrowland Ballroom in a poor quarter of Glasgow, Scotland.
Patricia Docker, 25, was the first victim. Her body was found, naked, in the door recess of a lock-up garage the night of 22 February 1968.
Jemima "Mima" McDonald, 32, was found partly clothed and strangled in a derelict tenement.
Helen Puttock, 29, was the third known victim. Her fully clothed body was found leaning against a wall in October 1969.
Hellen Puttock's sister, Jeannie, had once spoken to Bible John and recalled him as a six foot tall man between 25 and 30 with nicely barbered red hair. He was a smoker but did not drink liquor. He liked to quote sexual and other passages from the Bible - hence his nickname.
He was never identified.
