The Granny Killer_ Australia_s Most Disturbing Serial Killer Case

The True Crime Shadow Files by Russo

Episode notes

👵 "He didn't rob them. He didn't rape them. He just killed them—because they reminded him of his mother."

John Wayne Glover, known as "The Granny Killer," terrorized Sydney's North Shore from 1989 to 1990. He targeted elderly women, bludgeoning six victims with a hammer as they returned from shopping . He lived quietly with his wife, attended church, and sang in the choir. When police arrested him, he confessed casually, telling detectives: "I knew you'd get me eventually." He died in prison in 2005. The Granny Killer's case changed how Australia tracks violent offenders—because no one suspected a man who sang hymns.
