Although the police were sure murder had taken place, and that at least one of the four was guilty, they were uncertain whether they could secure a conviction.[92] Police also suspected there had been other murders committed, but the lack of bodies hampered this line of enquiry.[93] As news of the possibility of other murders came to the public's attention, newspapers began to publish lurid and inaccurate stories of the crimes; speculative reports led members of the public to assume that all missing people had been victims. Janet Brown went to the police and identified her friend Mary Paterson's clothing, while a local baker informed them that Jamie Wilson's trousers were being worn by Constantine Burke's son.[94] On 19 November a warrant for the murder of Jamie Wilson was made against the four suspects.[95]
