FOUND: The hunt for helen kane s killer and potential bible john links - You Need To See This

After Helen Kane’s body was discovered, police launched a hunt for killer - and detectives in Glasgow questioned connections with ‘Bible John’.

To this day Bible John remains unidentified, and is believed to have murdered three young women between 1968 and 1969 in Glasgow. All of his victims were young brunette women between the ages of 25 and 32 - matching Helen Kane’s description.

The killer met his victims at the Barrowland Ballroom, and became known as Bible John having repeatedly quoted from the Bible while condemning adultery to young women. With police in Glasgow still hunting him down in 1970, they contacted their counterparts in the capital following the murder of Helen Kane.
