Jane Hamilton has been an award-winning crime reporter for 25 years. She started as a volunteer writer with a local freesheet until she graduated with a degree in Radio Broadcasting. She was a general reporter at the Edinburgh Evening News before becoming their Crime Reporter.
It’s been crime ever since and there isn’t a national newspaper in Scotland she hasn’t written for or a major crime story she hasn’t worked on. Her job has taken her all over the world and she worked with the US Marshals on an international fugitive hunt. She has solved a decades old cold case murder and was instrumental in a 35-year-old murder being solved by police. She is known for her investigations into serial killers Peter Tobin and Bible John. Her work on Tobin helped police during Operation Anagram.
Her work has changed laws including the rules for multiple post mortems on homicide victims and changes to the way methadone is prescribed in Scotland after her investigations uncovered the death of Scotland’s youngest victim aged 2.
She left The Daily Record in 2022 after her second eight-year-stint as their crime reporter. She is now freelancing as a journalist and broadcaster and published a best-selling book of fiction short stories last year. Jane has appeared in many true crime documentaries including multiple episodes of Killer in My Family, Britain’s Most Evil Killers, David Wilson’s Crime Files, The Limbs in the Loch, Forensics: Catching The Killer and many more.
