About this episode
This week Alaina is diving into the Peter Tobin case! Peter Tobin, who was also known as Patrick McLaughlin, James Kelley and many other names, may have killed as many as 48. He was sentenced to life in prison and when he told investigators how many he’d killed he followed it up with “figure it out” and grinned. Lots to unpack here, and it will lead us into our next episode about Bible John, who may have actually been Peter Tobin. https://www.the-sun.com/news/195354/serial-killer-peter-tobin-72-on-his-death-bed-weighing-just-five-stone-and-barely-eating-after-cancer-diagnosis/ https://www.scotsman.com/news/crime/who-did-peter-tobin-kill-and-was-he-bible-john-former-lead-detective-david-swindle-why-serial-killer-case-not-cold-yet-1403956 As always, thank you to our sponsors Upstart: See why Upstart has a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot and hurry to Upstart.com/morbid to find out HOW LOW your Upstart rate can be Thrive Market: Go to Thrive Market.com/MORBID Join today and you’ll get a FREE gift of your choosing, up to $24 dollars in value.
