Former Detective Says Iain Packer Likely Killed Others Before Emma Caldwell
Retired detective Stuart Hall says court evidence shows a pattern of violence and suggests more victims may emerge.
- On Monday, retired Detective Constable Stuart Hall told 'The Beware Book' podcast he believes Iain Packer likely committed more murders beyond Emma Caldwell's 2005 death, stating 'there's going to be more found out in the future.'
- Packer was convicted in 2024 for Caldwell's murder, 19 years after her death, despite Hall identifying him as the suspect in 2005 when senior officers ordered him not to charge him.
- Sentenced to 36 years for Caldwell's murder and sexual assaults against 22 women, Packer displayed a clear pattern Hall described: 'When he was a younger man he was violent towards women. So that just seems to be who he is.'
- A public inquiry chaired by Lord Scott KC is examining the initial police investigation after former detectives reported suspicions were dismissed, with one told Packer 'will never be accused.'
- 'The Beware Book' podcast examines eight deaths of women in Glasgow during the 1990s and early 2000s, four of which remain unsolved, referencing a journal women used to warn of dangerous clients.
