"Retired detective Stuart Hall believes that Iain Packer's history of violence against women indicates a pattern of behavior, suggesting that there may be more victims yet to be discovered. He stated, 'I think there's going to be more found out in the future. Personally, I don't think it was his first murder. I see no reason for there not to be more.' Hall's insights reflect a deep concern about the implications of Packer's actions and the potential for further revelations."
"Hall emphasized that Packer's offending continued for years after Emma Caldwell's murder, stating, 'That just seems to be who he is.' He noted that during the trial, evidence of Packer's violent history against women was presented, reinforcing the belief that his criminal behavior was not isolated to Caldwell's case."
Iain Packer was convicted in 2024 for the murder of Emma Caldwell, who was killed in 2005. Retired detective Stuart Hall suggests Packer may have committed additional murders, indicating a pattern of violent behavior against women. The investigation initially focused on Packer, but a group of Turkish men was wrongfully charged in 2007. The Beware Book podcast discusses several unsolved deaths of women involved in prostitution in Glasgow during the 1990s and early 2000s, with Hall expressing concerns about the extent of Packer's crimes.
