According to Metro, Jean Jordan’s body was placed in a bush before it was moved out in the open. The authorities theorized that whoever had murdered her had returned to the scene after killing her to inflict further damage on her body. Five days later, on October 15, Jordan’s purse was found close to where she had been dumped (per the Manchester Evening News). The consensus was that her killer had come back to look for something in her purse that could be traced back to him. When he didn’t find it, he mutilated her body. Sure enough, investigators found a £5 note in a hidden pocket.

Metro reports that this £5 note was new. The authorities believed that Jordan’s killer had given it to her to pay for her services. Chris Gregg, formerly of West Yorkshire Police, worked on the investigation and explained to Metro, “Each 5-pound note has a unique serial number, and when the Bank Of England distributes them, they know generally what district these notes go to.” The Manchester Evening News states that investigators focused on the Midland Bank in West Yorkshire. They determined that the £5 note could have been distributed by 34 different companies as part of their payroll. Per Crime + Investigation UK, a 300-person suspect list was created. Peter Sutcliffe’s name was on it.
