       Bible John was a serial killer who attacked women in Scotland.

       Between the years of 1968 and 1969 the killer was believed to be behind at least three murders in and around Glasgow.

       For decades police have tirelessly searched for clues on who could be behind the crimes, with little information coming forward about the individual responsible.

       After his third murder, the moniker Bible John began to circulate through the media, giving rise to widespread fear over the attacks.

       The nickname came after a key witness described a man who picked up women yet quoted extensively from the Old Testament and frowned on adultery.

       The case would also the first time in Scotland in which the Crown Office authorised publication of a composite drawing of an individual suspected of murder.

       What happened to him?

       No one knows where Bible John is, or what happened to him, as he has never been caught.

       He has never been identified and the case remains both unsolved and one of the most extensive manhunts in Scottish criminal history.

       The known movements and style of convicted serial killer and rapist Peter Tobin have given rise to suspicions that he may be Bible John - although this has never been proved.

       Who were Bible John's victims?

       The first of his victims was Patricia Docker, a 25-year-old nurse, with her body being found just yards away from her home in Langside Place.

       The attack took place on February 13, 1968, and would only prove to be the first in a series of linked killings.

       His next murder took place on August 15, 1969, with Jemima McDonald’s body being found in an old tenement building on Mackeith Street in Bridgeton.

       She was a 31-year-old mum of three, who had been enjoying a night out until her sister realised she never returned home.

       Helen Puttock was found dead later that same year in October, with her body being discovered in her own back garden.
