English term or phrase: Bible John
Bible John is the nickname of an unidentified serial killer who is thought to have operated in Glasgow, Scotland, in the late 1960s. Three murders were attributed to him, but it is not clear if they were the work of the same person. All three of the missing women had been menstruating at the time of their disappearance.

Explanation:
BIBLE John, the serial killer blamed for the murders of three Glasgow women in the 1960s, is a mythical figure whose "existence" has been fuelled by public imagination, a new documentary will claim this week.
The killer earned his nickname because, according to Ms Langford, he had recited verses from the Bible as they shared the taxi home.

The suspect was described by Helen's sister Jean as being a well-dressed young man — tall, slim and with reddish/fair hair — and described as being polite, well-dressed and well-spoken. She said the stranger had given his name as "John" and that he had frequently quoted from the Bible”.
