The anonymous dead: The bodies found in Greater Manchester whose identities remain a mystery
Some of their bodies were discovered more than 50-years-ago, but their identities still remain a mystery. A total of 12 people have still not been named, years after they were found dead in Greater Manchester.
A number of the cases have sketches or e-fit images of what the person may have looked like. All of the cases, and others around the UK, are listed on the UK Missing Persons Bureau's national database of unidentified bodies. Buried in a paupers' grave The oldest on the list of unidentified bodies found in Greater Manchester dates back to January 19 1970. The body of a male, believed to have been aged between 65-75, was found in derelict buildings on Rochdale Road in the Collyhurst area of Manchester.
Do these four initials hold a clue? Next in time is a male found on March 19 1972, thought to have been dead for around six months when found, and aged between 40 and 60-years-old. Lying on a bed of cardboard, with rosary beads On December 14, 1982, the body of a woman was found in underfloor cavity of a cellar of a property in The Haulgh area of Bolton. Police believe she may have been dead since 1966.
Police say on the UK Missing Persons Bureau website that she was between 4ft7 to 4ft 11in tall and was lacking some false teeth. As well as being found with the black rosary beads minus the cross, she was found with a gold eternity ring on her left hand and gold crucifix earrings. She was nicknamed Mary Ellen by police.
A dog walker was strolling along the area of rough land when he came across a severed head and legs. An artist's impression of the man's face was circulated around the country, but he has never been identified. When the body was found, police named the body as that of John Delaney. However, Mr Delaney was, in fact, still alive.
A skull on scrubland A skull was found down an embankment in Collyhurst by an amateur photographer on March 16 2009. The remains were then uncovered on scrubland next to Sandhills Park, off Rochdale Road. The playground of St Mallachy's RC Primary School overlooks the scene. But, more than a century later it threw up another violent secret - the body of a woman who police believe had been murdered decades earlier.
The woman, who became known as the 'Angel of the Meadow' was laid to rest in an unmarked grave five years after her discovery. Her funeral at Southern Cemetery was attended only by two Greater Manchester Police detectives who had spent years working on the case.£85 in cash and a one way bus ticket Police believe this man, discovered hanging in an area of woodland which was the site of the former Westwood Power Station, may have been dead for just 12 hours when he was discovered.
Clothing and 'religious' documents found before discovery This man was found in the Bridgewater Canal at Pomona Dock, near to Old Trafford football ground. He was found early in the afternoon on March 17, 2013, wearing only thermal long johns and a black North Face t-shirt.
