At the time of the hunt, four Maxine Buckley aged 12, Catherine Burke aged 16, Debbie Brown aged 13, and Pamela Hind aged all claimed that Kiszko had indecently exposed himself to them the day before the murder. One of them also said he had exposed himself to her a month after the murder, on Bonfire Night. Kiszko was then a 23-year-old local tax clerk of Eastern European (Latvian) descent. His father, Ivan (spelled Iwan and also called John), had emigrated from Soviet Ukraine and his mother, Charlotte ("née" Slavič), from Yugoslavia (modern-day Slovenia) after the Second World War to work in the cotton mills of Rochdale. West Yorkshire Police quickly formed the view that Kiszko fitted their profile of the sort of person likely to have killed Molseed, even though he had never been in trouble with the law and had no social life beyond his mother and aunt. His father had died of a heart attack in the street in Kiszko's presence on 26September 1970. Evaluation showed that Stefan Kiszko had a mental and emotional age of just 12. Kiszko also had an unusual hobby of writing down registration numbers of cars that annoyed him, which supported police suspicions. The police now pursued evidence which might incriminate him, and ignored other leads that might have taken them in other directions.
