At 7pm on November 5th, 2001, mother of one, Michaela Hague climbed into a Blue Ford Sierra in Bower Street, Sheffield. The driver was a white male, clean shaven and wearing a wedding ring. Bonfire night was another working night for Michaela. Prostitution had become her line of trade to make ends meet. The next time this delicately featured young woman with almond shaped eyes, dark brown hair and an impish grin would be seen, she was semi-conscious and bleeding heavily from nineteen stab wounds to her neck and back. Discovered by a friend in the Spittalfields area of Sheffield, Michaela was able to give a brief description of her attacker to the first policeman on the scene, PC Twigg, who wrote the description on the palm of his hand.

Two weeks before her 18th birthday, Victoria Hall, known widely as Vicky, was murdered in the early hours of September 19, 1999, no more than a couple of hundred yards from her home in Faulkeners Way, Trimley St Mary, Suffolk. She was last seen by her friend, Gemma Algar, when they parted company at around 2:30am after a night out at the Bandbox Nightclub in Felixstowe. As part of their journey home, the two young women had stopped at fish and chip shop briefly, before continuing to walk home.

Linda left the house where she was living at about 11.30pm on 8 December, to visit a friend in Sultan Road, Portsmouth. It must have only been a brief visit as she was reported as leaving that address at shortly after midnight on the 9th to make her way back South to Linda Gray’s house in Victoria Road North. Roughly twenty or so minutes’ walk along suburban and reasonably well-lit streets. At some time between half past twelve and one o’clock in the morning, Linda Cook was viciously raped, strangled and stamped on. The ferocity of the attack is extremely distressing. Linda had been so violently stamped on that it crushed her larynx, broke her jaw and caused her spine to fracture. The perpetrator had used such force that he left the impression of his shoe on her skin, leading this to be dubbed by the sensationalist press of the time as, somewhat distastefully, The Cinderella Murder.

In March 1975 Bunny Girl Eve Stratford was found by her boyfriend with her throat cut. Police began to hunt for her killer but the case was stalling by the Autumn of the same year.

Police in London had two very different murders to investigate, both cases went cold. Thirty-two years after the murders new evidence links the cases for the first time.
