Survivor Claims Murderer Iain Packer Likely Committed Sex Crimes Abroad
Magdalene Robertson, a survivor of sexual violence perpetrated by convicted murderer Iain Packer, asserts that he likely committed additional sex crimes while on holiday in Florida. Packer was convicted in 2024 for the 2005 murder of Emma Caldwell and various sexual offenses against other women in Scotland. Robertson, who waived her anonymity to speak on the Clyde 1 podcast 'Beware Book,' described Packer as a serial offender whose predatory habits would have continued during his annual trips to the United States. She expressed certainty that he abused women in sex clubs, strip clubs, or hotels abroad and has shared these concerns with the FBI. Retired detective Stuart Hall, involved in the initial Caldwell investigation, corroborated this view, stating that Packer’s behavioral patterns likely extended to other locations he visited. Robertson is considering hiring a private investigator to explore Packer’s activities in the US further. Meanwhile, a public inquiry chaired by Lord Scott KC is scheduled to examine the historical police handling of the Caldwell case. Packer is currently serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 36 years.
