       What happened to Bible John and where is he now?

       For the past decades police have endlessly been searching for clues as to who could be beind these murders.

       However, after 5,000 suspects and 50,000 statements given to the police, no further clues were given.

       The name, Bible John’s came about due to Helen and Jean meeting two men during their trip to Barrowland, who were both named John.

       The first, known as Castlemilk John, left them to catch the bus, while Bible John remained with them, opting to take a taxi.

       It was reported he told Helen and Jean, “I don’t drink at Hogmanay. I pray,” giving rise to his ominous name.

       His picture is based on the description Jean gave to the police following their meeting in the taxi.

       However, any evidence that was bought forward since the murders, were not sufficent enough to point an exact finger and all eventually led to dead ends.

       In 1996, police exhumed the body of John Irvine McInnes to which they compared his DNA to semen samples found from Helen’s stockings.

       The results were inconclusive, leading to The Crown clearing McInnes of any involvement with Bible John or the case at large.

       As time goes on, the likelihood of solving the case becomes slimer as most eyewitnesses will have passed and any DNA evidence is non-existent.
