Uncovering the stories of three women thought to have been murdered by the same man in 1960s Glasgow.
Patricia Docker, Jemima MacDonald and Helen Puttock were all murdered after nights out at the Barrowland Ballroom
The hunt for him led to Scotland's biggest ever manhunt. He became known as Bible John after one witness said he had quoted scripture. It was blatant misogyny. These victims of murder were being judged - and seemingly blamed for what happened to them - because they had gone out dancing, maybe liked a drink, and possibly like to flirt with men.Patricia Charlotte Wilson Docker, aged 25Patricia was the daughter of John Wilson, a Royal Air Force electronics engineer, and his wife Pauline. I had thought she was a working-class Glasgow girl who had always lived in the city. She wasn't.
Yiannoulla described their beach trips with little Sandy, and how she and Pat loved to watch the TV show Dr Kildare. They both wanted to be nurses. There is very little detail of what happened during her last night out after leaving the flat she shared with her parents and son in the Langside area of the city.
"I can't see in my mind's eye a face in any situation nor anyone else's from that time. Their presence is keenly felt, but their physical form indistinct. The few photographs of Pat I have only elicit a weak sense of recognition, if at all." "For my part this podcast has given her back to me in some way. And given me some of my identity back."A previously unseen photograph of Jemima with her daughter Elizabeth
I wanted to know what happened to those children. It emerged that when Jemima was killed, child welfare officials took Elizabeth to one residential care home and her brothers were taken to another. One minute they were living with their mum, just across from their auntie, and the next they were torn apart from each other.
"She wasn't backward at coming forward... we instantly hit it off. It was as simple as that. She was absolutely always immaculate.Eldridge "Bunny" Mottley "If family were willing to look after them while she went out, there's nothing wrong with that at all."Helen was at the Barrowland with her big sister Jean on the night that led to her murder. With a crucial, surviving witness, her story had always had the most detail - yet there was still so little known about her.
