Child killer Mary Bell was on the run on Apr. 29, 1998, after several tabloid newspapers discovered where she had been living in anonymity with her 14-year-old daughter. Home Secretary Jack Straw commented that Bell's anonymity had been 'compromised' by the payment she had received for collaborating on a book about her life by Gitta Sereny.
