After examining the scene and arranging for Dora to be taken by mortuary ambulance to the police station, police surgeon Dr Thomas Letts announced the young woman had been dead no longer than five hours. The hunt for her killer began.
Born around 1894, Dorothy May Grey’s life had been difficult from the very beginning. With no father and a mother who abandoned her when she was just nine-months-old, young Dora lived with her aunts Selma and Harriet.
From an early age, the young woman learned to create her own truth. She told people her father was a doctor and her mother lived in Sheffield or that she would shortly be joining her bank manager father in Canada.
