RENEW APPEALS FOR HELP
The senior detective investigating the murder of Rebecca Hall has
renewed his appeal for help to the people of Bradford.
Becky, aged 19, was found dead in an alleyway behind the car park at
Thornton Street, Bradford, on April 26th. She died from severe head
injuries and had sustained a vicious and brutal beating.
She had not been seen since she left her home at Lydford House, Off
Elizabeth St, Little Horton in Bradford at about 10pm on April 13th.
Detective Ch Supt Max McLean said a full team of detectives, based at
Bradford Central Police Station, was still investigating Becky=92s
murder.
Officers have carried out approximately 1,500 lines of inquiry so far
and taken nearly 300 statements.
The investigation has also involved advice from forensic scientists,
experts in pathology and other scientific experts, as well as input
from the National Crime Faculty and the services of a criminal
profiler.
Det Ch Supt McLean said Becky=92s South Park watch (SEE PHOTO BELOW) was
still missing as well as her black flip-top Motorolla Startac mobile
phone.
"I would appeal to anyone who has seen a watch or phone like Becky=92s
to come forward," said Det Ch Supt McLean.
Throughout the course of the last three-and-a-half months, officers
have spoken to Becky=92s friends and family and have interviewed many of
her known punters, as well as men suspected of attacks on other
prostitutes.
"My team has focused on a large number of suspects over a very short
period of time," said Det Ch Supt McLean. "We have had very little
information from the public =96I realise that this is probably due to
the trade Becky worked in.
"I would like to remind people that Becky was a 19-year-old mother of
a four-month-old baby boy. She was Bradford born and bred and has a
mum and dad and sisters living in this city.
"I believe somebody local is out there who murdered this young
Bradford girl and we need to catch that person.
"To have been found naked and beaten to death in an alleyway is an
awful way to end a young life.
"I want to make sure that Becky=92s son Jordan grows up knowing that we
caught his mum=92s killer and I can only do that with the help of the
people of Bradford."
Det Ch Supt McLean appealed to anyone who knew Becky or had seen her
between Good Friday and April 26th to call police on their Freephone
hotline.
Becky was 5'5" tall with a slim build. Her hair was dyed red and in a
bobbed style. When she was last seen she was wearing black leggings
and purple sheer top.
Anyone with any information should contact Police on the dedicated
Freephone number 0800 318 001.

Officers investigating the murder of Rebecca Hall, whose body was
found on Thursday April 26th have established that she was wearing a
distinctive limited edition watch when she was last seen on Friday
April 13th.
Becky, aged 19, was found dead in an alleyway behind the car park at
Thornton Street, Bradford, on April 26th.
After extensive enquiries by detectives they have discovered that she
was wearing a limited edition South Park watch which has not been
recovered.
The watch features cartoon characters from South Park and has a black
material strap with the South Park logo on it and a velcro fastener.
The face is also surrounded by a silver dial. Only a limited number
have been made and they are only available from selected shops.
Officers have obtained a replica from the supplier, which is available
to photograph. Copies of a photograph are also available from Bradford
Central Police Station.
Becky was a working prostitute who frequented the Thornton Road area
and it was probable that was where she was heading towards when she
left her home at Lydford House, Off Elizabeth St, Little Horton in
Bradford at about 10pm on April 13th.
She died from severe head injuries and had sustained a vicious and
brutal beating.
Detective Ch Supt Max McLean continued to appeal to anyone who has
seen a watch matching the description in any circumstances to come
forward.
"Do you know anyone who wears one of these watches or have you found a
watch or been sold a watch like it," he said. "Even if someone has
innocently bought a South Park watch or has been given one as a gift
from someone it is important they contact us in confidence."
He also urged anyone who had seen someone wearing a South Park watch
of this type to phone officers via the Freephone hotline.
"It may have been found or handed to someone but it could link back to
Becky and it is important that we trace her missing watch," said Det
Ch Supt McLean.
Detectives, supported by incident room staff and forensic scientists,
are following many inquiries in their hunt for Becky's murderer.
Posters appealing for public information are also being circulated
across the Bradford district appealing for information about Becky and
her last known whereabouts.
Becky was 5'5" tall with a slim build. Her hair was dyed red and in a
bobbed style. When she was last seen she was wearing black leggings
and purple sheer top.
Anyone with any information should contact Police on the dedicated
Freephone number 0800 318 001.

REBECCA KILLED AT DIFFERENT LOCATION?
Detectives investigating the death of Rebecca Hall, whose body was
found on Thursday April 26th are now investigating the theory that she
was killed at a different location to where she was found.
Det Chief Superintendent Max McLean, who is heading the investigation,
said early scientific evidence suggested that Becky, aged 19, was not
killed in the alleyway behind the car park at Thornton Street,
Bradford.
Pathologists have also indicated that it was most likely that Becky
was killed only a few days before she was found. Therefore detectives
are strongly considering the theory that Becky was abducted and held
somewhere before she was killed and that her body was subsequently
dumped in Thornton Street some time around the 26th of April.
Becky leaves a four month old baby boy, Jordan and left her home at
Lydford House, Off Elizabeth St, Little Horton in Bradford at about
10pm on April 13th.
Rebecca was a working prostitute who frequented the Thornton Road area
and it was probable that was where she was heading towards on Good
Friday. She died from severe head injuries and had sustained a vicious
and brutal beating.
Mr McLean continued to appeal to anyone who has seen Becky since Good
Friday to come forward. Nobody has reported any sightings of Becky to
police.
Officers also appealed to anyone with any suspicions about where Becky
may have been held to come forward, particularly anyone who has seen
someone matching her description who they have not seen in their area
before.
He continued to appeal for anyone who has seen Becky since Easter and
anyone who knew her to contact them on the dedicated Freephone number
0800 318 001.
She was 5'5" tall with a slim build. Her hair was dyed red and in a
bobbed style. When she was last seen she was wearing black leggings
and purple sheer top.
