For two months, while friends and police worried about the fate of missing Bradford prostitute Yvonne Pearson, her partially clothed body lay hidden on spare ground barely a quarter of a mile from her home. Discovered with injuries described by DS Trevor Lapish as "horrific", it was identified as Yvonne's by fingerprints. Now a massive poice hunt is on to find a second "Ripper" who police think may be imitating the killer and has battered and mutilated eight women, seven of them good-time girls.

Halifax Police today began a search for Halifax-born John Reginald Halliday Christie, who they think may be able to help their enquiries into the fate of four women found strangled in the "House of Death" in Rillington Place, Notting Hill, London. In December 1949, the bodies of Mrs Beryl Evans and her 14-month-old daughter Geraldine, were found strangled in an outhouse at the house. Mrs Evans' 25-year-old lorry driver husband Timothy was hanged for the murder of the child. Scotland Yard do not connect the present murders with those earlier killings.
