00:08:52,907 He had raped and tried to murder two young girls, 151 00:08:52,991 --> 00:08:55,076 and he spent ten years in prison, 152 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,870 and he got out in 2004. 153

at St. Patrick's Church. 156 00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:12,594 [Graham] While the investigation 157 00:09:12,677 --> 00:09:16,222 was focused on the manhunt for Peter Tobin, 158 00:09:16,306 --> 00:09:18,892 David Swindle wanted to revisit 159 00:09:18,975 --> 00:09:24,064 the search of the church and its grounds. 160 00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:27,484 [David] Because the circumstances have changed, 161 00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,570 I told the search team, "I know it's a place of worship, 162 00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:32,655 but Angelika could be there." 163 00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:35,241 "Rip that place apart." 164 00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:42,749 A specialized search team assisted by cadaver dogs 165 00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:45,085 conducted a search of the church. 166 00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,800 [David] They found a very small hatch, 167 00:09:53,051 --> 00:09:56,346 and underneath there, covered in plastic sheeting, 168 00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:59,474 was the body of Angelika Kluk. 169 00:10:06,523 --> 00:10:09,901 When I met with Aneta Kluk, Angelika's sister, 170 00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:13,947 and I told her that that was her sister that was there, 171 00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:16,074 shock, horror. 172 00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:19,369 You could never understand how they feel. 173 00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,496 It was absolutely horrendous for her. 174 00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:25,333 [Graham] You've got nothing but compassion for the family, 175 00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:29,003 but what you've got to focus on is ensuring that you do 176 00:10:29,087 --> 00:10:31,339 what the family needs you to do, 177 00:10:31,422 --> 00:10:34,134 focus on your job and do it to the best of your ability. 178 00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:38,304 [David] Now we have to prove beyond reasonable doubt 179 00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:41,516 that Tobin has killed Angelika Kluk. 180 00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:44,561 We need to secure as much evidence as we can, 181 00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,272

184 00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:56,823 Because it looked to me like a sexually-motivated murder, 185 00:10:56,906 --> 00:11:00,285 I wanted to examine her body without being moved. 186 00:11:00,368 --> 00:11:04,956 As soon as you move that body, it could contaminate any potential trace evidence. 187 00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:11,713 The entrance to the hatch was tiny. 188 00:11:14,966 --> 00:11:17,010 Going down there, it was frightening. 189 00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:21,306 I mean, I'm not claustrophobic, 190 00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:23,975 but there was very little room for me to get down. 191 00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,604 And then it was dark, 192 00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,856 and you're looking up at the hatch thinking, 193 00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:31,608 "I don't know if I'll get back out." 194 00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:39,157 When I saw Angelika, there was an initial shock and horror 195 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,576 like any other person would feel, 196 00:11:41,659 --> 00:11:45,121 seeing a young woman who had been clearly violently murdered. 197 00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:48,708 She had what, to me, looked like stab injuries 198 00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:50,585 to her chest, 199 00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:53,630 and also, she'd been bound and gagged as well. 200 00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:02,472 But then you've got to get into work mode 201 00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:04,724 because you have one shot at it. 202 00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:07,936 So, we worked through the night. 203 00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:12,315 You feel a real responsibility to make sure 204 00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:14,234 you capture every single bit of evidence 205 00:12:14,317 --> 00:12:16,527 and make sure there's some sort of justice. 206 00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:22,784 There's a lot of forensic evidence which felt very compelling. 207 00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:27,288 We had DNA and semen on the jeans that matched Peter Tobin, 208 00:12:27,372 --> 00:12:30,708 so we had links from Peter Tobin to Angelika's body. 209 00:12:30,792 --> 00:12:33,711 But we had to establish where she was assaulted and murdered. 210 00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:37,548 So the focus of the investigation moved to the garage workshop 211 00:12:37,632 --> 00:12:40,301 where Angelika had last been seen alive. 212 00:12:50,645 --> 00:12:52,105 It was a typical workshop. 213 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:55,775 It was full of tools, paint, bits of furniture, et cetera. 214 00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:58,987 There was no obvious blood. 215 00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:04,242 But then we started to look at the floor, 216 00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:08,288 and my colleague noticed what looked like a small blood spot. 217 00:13:09,414 --> 00:13:11,249 And then we started seeing more. 218 00:13:17,422 --> 00:13:20,383 We carried out DNA profiling on those bloodstains 219 00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,885 and it matched the DNA profile of Angelika Kluk. 220 00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:24,679 So, at that point, we're confident 221 00:13:24,762 --> 00:13:27,473 that's where the initial assault has taken place. 222 00:13:29,517 --> 00:13:33,229 The forensic experts were starting to build a picture 223 00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:34,939 of what happened to Angelika. 224 00:13:35,982 --> 00:13:40,111 Tobin was working with Angelika in a garage, 225 00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:42,947 and it was in there that he struck. 226 00:13:45,742 --> 00:13:48,369 [Elaine] We had table legs that police had found 227 00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:50,163 on the grounds outside the church. 228 00:13:50,246 --> 00:13:53,041 On one of the table legs, within the grain of the wood, 229 00:13:53,124 --> 00:13:56,586 we noticed tiny, tiny bloodstains, 230 00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:58,963 and that blood matched Angelika Kluk. 231 00:14:00,757 --> 00:14:04,010 [David] He hit her over the head with an oak table leg, 232 00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:07,388 and bound her hands with cable ties. 233 00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:10,266 He had put duct tape around her mouth. 234 00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:11,559 He'd raped her. 235 00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:15,313 Stabbed her multiple times in the chest, 236 00:14:15,396 --> 00:14:20,026 and then dragged her into the church on a plastic sheeting, 237 00:14:21,569 --> 00:14:24,655 and dumped her underneath the floor. 238 00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:34,457 You can't comprehend the terror that she was going through as... 239 00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:37,502 As he was attacking her. 240 00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:40,505 It's horrific. Horrific. 241 00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:44,634 The level of inhumanity... 242 00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:47,887 used by Tobin, 243 00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:51,265 what he did to Angelika, it just... 244 00:14:54,685 --> 00:14:55,770 Abhors you. 245 00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:25,716 [Denis] It was horrendous, really, you know. 246 00:15:26,342 --> 00:15:31,681 to find out that when we were in on a Sunday night doing the meals, 247 00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:34,976 I was standing on the trap door, 248 00:15:35,810 --> 00:15:37,812 and there was a body underneath it. 249 00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:39,605 That troubles me. 250 00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:45,486 It turned the community upside down. 251 00:15:57,290 --> 00:16:00,084 [Graham] It's now a homicide investigation, 252 00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:03,379 and the manhunt for Peter Tobin 253 00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:04,881 is now ramped up. 254 00:16:07,884 --> 00:16:10,803 The interest from the media was huge. 255 00:16:10,887 --> 00:16:13,764 Now, it was a real national story, 256 00:16:13,848 --> 00:16:16,559 and we had all the pressure that comes with that. 257 00:16:18,936 --> 00:16:20,938 We need to find this guy and find him quick. 258 00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:30,072 [Nick Losseff] I was working as a neurologist 259 00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:33,367 at the National Hospital for Neurology. 260 00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:38,122 One weekend, I got a call about a patient called James Kelly. 261 00:16:38,206 --> 00:16:43,211 So this patient had admitted himself, ostensibly with symptoms of a stroke. 262 00:16:43,961 --> 00:16:47,006 He had also been recognized 263 00:16:47,089 --> 00:16:50,384 by the relatives of the patient in the bed next to him 264 00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:55,598 as the man wanted by the police in conjunction with a murder inquiry. 265 00:16:57,058 --> 00:17:01,187 [David] A Metropolitan police officer went to the hospital 266 00:17:01,270 --> 00:17:02,271 to check this out. 267 00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:05,358 And he put on a nurse's uniform, 268 00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:09,987 went in as a nurse, and spoke to the person in the hospital 269 00:17:10,071 --> 00:17:13,866 and confirmed that it was Peter Tobin. 270 00:17:17,203 --> 00:17:19,247 [Nick] He was very charming in the encounter, 271 00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:23,251 but it was very clear that, actually, this was a fictitious illness. 272 00:17:23,334 --> 00:17:24,835 He was clearly putting it on. 273 00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:27,588 Now, most people, if you confront them 274 00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:29,465 about a fictitious illness, 275 00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:32,718 will get extremely cross with you. 276 00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:37,348 But his response was very, very odd indeed. 277 00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:40,768 He said to me, "Oh, well, 278 00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:43,312 if that's what you say, Doctor, that must be right." 279 00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:45,815 "I mean, you're the doctor after all." 280 00:17:47,149 --> 00:17:48,901 Well, I found it quite chilling. 281 00:17:49,694 --> 00:17:52,113 My internal reaction was that 282 00:17:52,196 --> 00:17:56,284 this was a very psychopathic comment, 283 00:17:57,535 --> 00:18:01,122 and I left the room and the police came and arrested him. 284 00:18:08,838 --> 00:18:11,632 [David] So we had Tobin. He's caught. 285 00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:14,802 But by this time in the investigation, 286 00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:18,014 when I saw the injuries on Angelika Kluk, 287 00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,474 how organized Tobin was, 288 00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:23,894 and his cool, calm, collectiveness, 289 00:18:23,978 --> 00:18:25,938 where he remained at the scene 290 00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:28,983 and gave a statement and a false name to the police, 291 00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:31,152 I thought, "He's 60, 292 00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:34,280 this isn't the first time he's done something like this." 293 00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:36,324 This guy has killed before. 294 00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:46,334 I decided that we need to look 295 00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:48,669 at Tobin's whole life history, 296 00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:52,548 and that was when I started Operation Anagram. 297 00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:58,763 I thought, I want to timeline everything about him, 298 00:18:58,846 --> 00:19:00,306 where he had been, 299 00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:02,808 and what had happened in an area where he had been, 300 00:19:02,892 --> 00:19:06,145 to see if this is someone that has killed before. 301 00:19:06,771 --> 00:19:10,566 David asked me to run a separate investigation, 302 00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:13,486 sort of running parallel to the murder investigation. 303 00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:15,780 [David] If it ever got out 304 00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:19,950 that we were looking at Tobin as a potential serial killer, 305 00:19:20,034 --> 00:19:23,162 that could have been adverse pretrial publicity. 306 00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:26,123 So Operation Anagram was set up confidentially. 307 00:19:27,291 --> 00:19:31,253 We started to quickly establish this is an individual who was mobile, 308 00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:33,047 who was travelling the UK, 309 00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:35,091 who was using false names. 310 00:19:35,174 --> 00:19:37,259 He had different types of occupations, 311 00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:38,844 and very quickly, we realized 312 00:19:38,928 --> 00:19:41,889 this person's life is complicated. 313 00:19:50,523 --> 00:19:53,150 Neighbours and people he knew described him 314 00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:55,361 as quiet and charming. 315 00:19:57,154 --> 00:19:59,990 That is how he can ingratiate himself, 316 00:20:00,074 --> 00:20:01,575 get women to trust him. 317 00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:06,872 We learned that he was committing serious sexual offences 318 00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:09,208 against young females, 319 00:20:10,292 --> 00:20:11,669 even as a teenager. 320 00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:15,423 We found out that Tobin was married three times. 321 00:20:16,632 --> 00:20:17,967 He also had a son. 322 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,889 [Graham] We were able to see a clear pattern from all three of his wives. 323 00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:26,851 Initially, he was very charming, 324 00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:29,562 and then as time went on, he would become controlling... 325 00:20:30,187 --> 00:20:33,315 and violent towards them, 326 00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:36,444 both physically and sexually. 327 00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:40,656 [David] He shows all the classic serial killer traits. 328 00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:43,743 He was obsessed by binding people up. 329 00:20:43,826 --> 00:20:47,788 It was power, and control, and sexual domination. 330 00:20:47,872 --> 00:20:50,666 Tobin was someone that loved 331 00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:53,377 inflicting pain with him being in control. 332 00:20:58,048 --> 00:21:02,011 [Graham] It quickly became clear that we needed the assistance 333 00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:06,056 of other forces and records they held. 334 00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:13,230 [David] We arranged for a huge conference 335 00:21:13,314 --> 00:21:15,983 and heads from every police force in the UK came to that. 336 00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:18,736 And we provided every police force 337 00:21:18,819 --> 00:21:20,446 with information about Tobin. 338 00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:24,033 Because at that time, there was lots of police forces in the UK 339 00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:25,951 and they weren't always joined up. 340 00:21:26,035 --> 00:21:28,329 But this was an effort at doing that. 341 00:21:28,412 --> 00:21:30,790 This is something that had never been done before. 342 00:21:30,873 --> 00:21:33,417 And each police force reviewed 343 00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:36,962 their outstanding missing people, unresolved murders, unresolved rapes, 344 00:21:37,046 --> 00:21:39,590 and they fed it back to the Operation Anagram team. 345 00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:46,263 The challenge for us with Operation Anagram was massive. 346 00:21:47,515 --> 00:21:50,601 [Graham] There was huge amounts of information coming in. 347 00:21:50,684 --> 00:21:53,604 Hundreds of missing persons 348 00:21:53,687 --> 00:21:56,565 and unresolved female homicides. 349 00:21:57,399 --> 00:22:00,194 And then we'd start looking at dates when these happened 350 00:22:00,277 --> 00:22:04,240 and compare them with what we knew about Peter Tobin and his whereabouts. 351 00:22:05,241 --> 00:22:08,077 [David] Operation Anagram took over my life. 352 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,662 You could call it an obsession. 353 00:22:09,745 --> 00:22:14,166 I felt a responsibility for his potential victims. 354 00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:16,252 Families are still waiting for answers. 355 00:22:17,795 --> 00:22:22,716 [Graham] We looked at every case that was highlighted to us, 356 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,804 and then we prioritized ones that we thought, potentially, 357 00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:28,722 that he could have been involved in. 358 00:22:28,806 --> 00:22:30,766 [David] Operation Anagram found out 359 00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:34,395 that Tobin lived in Robertson Avenue in Bathgate 360 00:22:34,478 --> 00:22:36,730 in 1990, 1991. 361 00:22:37,398 --> 00:22:41,151 [Graham] That was a real significant moment 362 00:22:41,235 --> 00:22:43,404 because Bathgate 363 00:22:43,487 --> 00:22:47,783 was where 15-year-old Vicky Hamilton went missing 364 00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:49,660 in 1991. 365 00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:56,667 She was the most famous missing person case 366 00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:59,003 in Scotland at that time. 367 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,391 [reporter] Police officers making house-to-house inquiries in Bathgate 368 00:23:12,474 --> 00:23:14,560 in their continuing hunt for clues 369 00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:16,604 into Vicky Hamilton's disappearance. 370 00:23:24,153 --> 00:23:26,739 [Tom] In 1991, I was the divisional commander 371 00:23:26,822 --> 00:23:30,117 for the West Lothian area, including Bathgate. 372 00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,703 Late on Sunday evening, 373 00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:35,539 I got a call to say that there was a vulnerable girl 374 00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:37,666 missing from the Bathgate area, 375 00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:39,460 and her name was Vicky Hamilton. 376 00:23:40,836 --> 00:23:43,589 As soon as you heard of a missing girl, 377 00:23:43,672 --> 00:23:45,591 you took it seriously. 378 00:23:50,012 --> 00:23:51,430 Vicky was 15. 379 00:23:51,513 --> 00:23:53,807 That weekend, she'd been staying with her sister. 380 00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:55,684 She was making her way home. 381 00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:57,519 She arrived in Bathgate, 382 00:23:57,603 --> 00:23:59,897 but because there was snow and ice on the ground, 383 00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:01,690 the buses were all delayed. 384 00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:04,026 So this is the bus stop on the left here. 385 00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:07,154 This is where Vicky was last seen waiting at that bus stop. 386 00:24:07,237 --> 00:24:08,948 It was a bitterly cold night, 387 00:24:09,031 --> 00:24:12,826 so it would have been absolutely perishing for anybody waiting at that bus stop. 388 00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:20,167 [man] We knew that she'd bought some chips from a local chip shop, 389 00:24:20,250 -->
