I'd like to point out an inconsistency I see with the criteria for the unidentified serial killers section. Bible John is included, even though the police's position has always been that there has never been evidence to prove that the three murders in that case were connected and them having always been investigated as three separate murders. E.g. they mention this in the STV documentary from 2005 (19:45-21:40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is9TcmUcLME&t=8s. Meanwhile, a case like the killer of Eve Stratford and Lynne Weedon, where DNA has proved the same man is responsible for two murders, and where police themselves linked a third killing (Elizabeth Parravincina) and believed if they found any DNA from the Parravincina case in 2007 it would link to the other two, is for some reason not included.
Essentially, it seems inconsistent and contradictory to include a case like Bible John, based essentially on the myth that he killed all three people, yet not include a case where police themselves conclude the same man killed three people. Nordjyllands (talk) 12:19, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
