| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, it's Jen. |
| 0:24.7 | And this is Lindsay. |
| 0:26.2 | And welcome back to Corpus Delicti, the podcast. |
| 0:28.7 | We are working through our foreign fatality series. |
| 0:32.9 | And this one, believe it or not, we're going to Glasgow, Scotland. |
| 0:37.1 | And real quick, this is the last episode before we have our two-week break. |
| 0:42.6 | So no episode for two weeks after this, and then we'll be back in December. |

| 1:40.2 | Crown Office, but just the police there, authorized publication of a composite drawing or a |
| 1:46.6 | police sketch of an individual suspected of murder. So this is the very first time. So, I mean, |
| 1:51.7 | this is a big deal for them. Now, all of Bible John's victims, they ranged from 25 to 32 years old. |
| 1:59.6 | All of the known victims were brunette and they all last |
| 2:03.8 | danced at the Barrowland Ballroom. So the Barrowland Ballroom was rebuilt in 1960. The original |
