Warwickshire Police last night said it was continuing to review its files as part of the inquiry into convicted killer Peter Tobin.
It is among several forces nationwide looking into Tobin's background as police continued their detailed searches of a house in Margate, Kent, where the bodies of two teenagers were unearthed.
The remains of 18-year-old Dinah McNicol were found in the back garden last Friday after the body of Scottish schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton, aged 15, was also discovered by police at the Irvine Drive address where Tobin lived in 1991. Tobin, aged 61, who was convicted of murdering and raping Polish student Angelika Kluk earlier this year, has been charged with Vicky's murder.
Reports yesterday suggested other addresses where he has lived across the country could be searched amid fears further bodies might be concealed.
Four properties in Brighton, East Sussex, one near Edinburgh, two in Glasgow and two in Hampshire are expected to be examined in the search for further bodies, it was claimed.
Tobin is known to have lived at several addresses in both Scotland and England. His former home in West Lothian has already been searched by forensic officers from Lothian and Borders Police. In 1993, he spent a month under the assumed name of Peter Wilson at King's House, the Jesus Army centre in Rugby Road, Stockton, near Southam, Warwickshire, while being hunted by police for a sex attack on two teenage girls.
A force spokesman yesterday said: "In line with other police forces, Warwickshire Police was contacted by the Association of Chief Police Officers Homicide group and asked to review its files to see if it could reveal any further information on Peter Tobin.
Meanwhile, the father of student Dinah McNicol paid an emotional visit to the Irvine Drive property as detailed searches failed to yield any significant new leads last night.
Ian McNicol, aged 68, looked exhausted as he explained he could finally grieve after being advised that the remains were those of Dinah.
Speaking outside the property after touring the building with an unnamed male relative, Mr McNicol, from Tillingham, Essex, said it had been a difficult experience.
He said: "But at least they have found her remains and I can speak for the whole family that we can now put her to rest and grieve in our own time, which is what we have wanted for 16 years.
