Three women were killed in 1968 and 1969 in Glasgow and their murders have never been solved.
Police have said they are “assessing” claims made in a podcast covering the Bible John murders in the 1960s.
The murders remain unsolved despite one of the largest police inquiries in Scottish history, with the suspect known only as Bible John due to quoting scripture during a taxi journey with Ms Puttock and her sister before she was murdered.A podcast released by the BBC last year examined the cases, speaking to the families of the victims and former police officers who investigated the murders.
Officers interviewed said they believed the man to be John Irvine McInnes – the cousin of detective Jimmy McInnes.The body of John Irvine McInnes – who died by suicide in the 1980s – was exhumed in 1995 in relation to the investigation, with DNA analysis against a sample taken from Ms Puttock’s tights coming back inconclusive, clearing him of involvement.
