#304 - 'Mr Nobody' (Colin Findlay, The Beast of Banffshire)

This is Ep304: 'Mr Nobody' (Colin James Findlay, The Beast of Banffshire).

This hostel marks the final attack of a horrific rapist, kidnapper, paedophile, alleged necrophile and an almost triple murderer. It’s a case which caused uproar in a community, destroyed several families, and three lives which would be changed forever, yet it was barely reported and it remains forgotten. The killer came from nowhere, which begs the question, what led him to do the evil things he did?

• Date: Wednesday the 28th of October 1992, late evening
• Location: German YMCA, Lancaster Hall Hotel, 35 Craven Terrace, London, UK, W2
• Victims: 3 (all unidentified across 1986 and 1992)
• Culprits: 1 (Colin Findlay)

Note: after this episode was released, I was made aware that this wasn't the work of one Colin Findlay, but two; two almost identical men, both Scottish, both quiet and depressed, both rapists and attempted murderers / murderers, who targeted similar women and committed almost identical crimes. It's an incredible twist and it's almost as if they were related, but they weren't. There is a correction in this episode.
