Police missed the chance to catch Emma Caldwell's killer in the months after her murder because senior officers repeatedly dismissed him as a suspect, BBC Scotland can reveal. Iain Packer has now been found guilty of the crime, almost 19 years after Emma's body was found in a remote wood. Four former detectives who were involved in the earliest stages of the inquiry say evidence of his violent, abusive and predatory behaviour was known to police from the start of their investigation.
