## Resource

Between 1968 and 1969, three women — Patricia Docker, Jemima MacDonald and Helen Puttock — were each murdered after a night at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom. All three were beaten and strangled, their handbags taken, their bodies left near home. The press named the unknown killer "Bible John," after the scripture-quoting stranger who shared a taxi with Helen and her sister Jean — the one witness who ever truly saw him. Despite Scotland's largest manhunt, fifty thousand statements and a face built from memory, he was never caught. In this final episode, Ryan Wolf looks through the thinnest, cruellest veil of all. While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.
