A BBC podcast investigated the unsolved murders of three women in Glasgow in the late 1960s.
The award-winning podcast investigated the murders of Patricia Docker, Jemima MacDonald and Helen Puttock in Glasgow in the late 1960s.The death of Ms Puttock in 1969 came after a man shared a cab home with her and quoted religious verse.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We are assessing the contents of a recent podcast in consultation with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. Allan Mottley, the youngest son of Jemima MacDonald, said: "When the police officer phoned and said they were going to reinvestigate, that was a bit of a bombshell."I am not expecting that much to be honest.
"For me, it would mean that the Bible John lead is at the very least suspect and opens the real story of poor judgement, misdirection, and a failed investigation.Elaine Paterson, whose mother Margaret was Helen Puttock's cousin and appeared on the podcast, said her family was looking forward to police investigating.
Police interviewed more than 7,000 people and took 4,000 statements, however no arrests were ever made. The detectives said their investigation found enough evidence that John Irvine McInnes, who killed himself in 1980, was the man in the taxi with her and that the procurator fiscal would have issued a warrant for his arrest if he had been alive.
