SERIAL KILLER: Bible John
In the late 1960s, three women were murdered after attending the same nightclub. But aside from their location, all three women had something very specific in common. Was this thing they had in common the reason they were killed or was their killer, a man now known as Bible John, after them because they were frequenting a nightclub known for hookups and infidelity? It is now decades later and police are still looking for a red-haired man last seen with all three women.
These are Bible John’s three known victims: 1.) February 23, 1968, Patricia Docker 2.) August 14, 1969 Jemima McDonald 3.) October 29, 1969 Helen Puttock
