John Templeton was also nicknamed “Bible John” by fellow workers at Glasgow’s Mitchell Library because of his resemblance to the artist’s impression of the serial killer.
A Bible John suspect boasted to work colleagues how he was interviewed twice by police about the murder of the third victim.
A number of ex-colleagues of Templeton contacted Jill after reading her book. One first met Templeton in 2001 in Possilpark Library as an attendant and then later in the Mitchell around 2006. She said: “He was a charming, chatty man, always smiling but condescending and superior and I didn’t like that. He appeared to enjoy disparaging me and others.”
The former colleague did not discover Templeton’s link with Bible John until a Sunday Mail article in June about the new book. Then she learned Templeton’s fellow attendants had called him Bible John because of his resemblance to the artist’s impression. A second Mitchell Library colleague said Templeton was also called Bible John. Jill, 62, tracked down Templeton’s ex in 2022. She provided a photo that bears a strong likeness to the artist’s impression created by George Lennox Paterson.
Jill traced Templeton after researching the ancestry of John McInnes, identified as a suspect in 1996. The ex-soldier, from Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, who killed himself in 1980, had been quizzed after Helen’s murder. DNA since obtained from her clothing bore comparisons to samples given by two siblings.
