Serial killer Steve Wright has been interviewed by police in prison about a series of unsolved cases.
Wright, 68, is serving a whole-life order for the murders of five women in Ipswich between October and December 2006.
Known as the Suffolk Strangler, he was convicted in February 2008 of killing Tania Nicol, 19; Gemma Adams, 25; Anneli Alderton, 24; Paula Clennell, 24; and Annette Nicholls, 29.
In February this year, he received a further life sentence after admitting to kidnapping and killing Victoria Hall in 1999, a 17-year-old from Trimley St Mary.
He also pleaded guilty to attempting to kidnap 22-year-old Emily Doherty the day before.
Suffolk Police said: “Following his sentencing for the murder of Victoria Hall earlier this year, he has been interviewed in prison about other unsolved cases.
“In the cases where we have DNA we have sought to use it to eliminate him from inquiries.
“He is not currently a declared suspect on any unsolved case, but the potential for his involvement is always considered as we review cold cases.”
Police said Wright was not asked again about the Ipswich murders, for which he has already been convicted.
Victoria had left the Bandbox nightclub in Felixstowe with her friend at 1am in September 1999, before they parted ways at around 2.30pm.
She was reported missing the next day, and her body was found five days later in a ditch 25 miles away in Creeting St Peter.
Wright was due to stand trial at the Old Bailey in London in February, charged with murder and kidnapping of Victoria, and of attempting to kidnap 22-year-old Emily Doherty.
He changed his plea in the courtroom, prompting gasps from the crowd, as this was the first time he had publicly pleaded guilty to murder.
Prominent criminologist Professor David Wilson suggested that Wright might know about other unsolved cases, including the cases of Kellie Pratt, 28, last seen in Norwich in 2000, and Amanda Duncan, 26, who went missing in Ipswich in 1993.
