Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The notorious "Bible John" murders in Glasgow in the 1960s remain unsolved, after DNA tests failed to establish a link between a murdered woman and a suicide victim exhumed by police. Scotland's senior law officer, Lord Mackay, the Lord Advocate, said experts at Cambridge University had concluded there was "not sufficient evidence" from DNA methods to link John McInnes with the murder of Helen Puttock in 1969.
Crown officials have ordered further investigation to clarify "some further particular points" which have arisen from the newly-reopened investigation, said Lord Mackay. The body of John McInnes, who committed suicide in 1980 at the age of 41, was exhumed in February after a routine re-scrutiny of long-unsolved murders using new technology.
