Overview
- The Beware Book podcast released Monday features two former detectives who say bosses told them to drop Iain Packer as a suspect.
- One detective says Packer admitted taking Emma Caldwell to Limefield Woods, the remote site where her body was found in 2005.
- The officers recall the probe shifting to four Turkish men who were arrested in 2007 in a case that later collapsed.
- The former officers say sidelining Packer let him attack other women before his 2022 arrest and his 2024 life sentence with a 36-year minimum.
- A public inquiry led by Lord Scott KC will hear evidence later in 2026, and Police Scotland says it will support the process to get answers for Caldwell’s family.
