Peter Tobin: Trail of Evil | #414

Wondery | RedHanded
About this episode

In 2006, the body of Polish student Angelika Kluk was found hidden in the most unthinkable place: stuffed beneath the floorboards of a Glasgow church.

The man who put her there – greyhaired handyman Peter Tobin – was about to have his own sins laid bare. And what police found would reveal a predator whose impact stretched far beyond the church walls: with vanished girls, broken families, and a raft of missed opportunities to stop a prolific offender from slipping through the cracks of the UK justice system.

Eventually, Tobin was unmasked as one of Britain’s darkest serial killers, with whispers linking him to the infamous “Bible John” murders. His true victim count? Only God can keep the score.
