The daughter of a prostitute allegedly murdered by 'Crossbow Cannibal' Stephen Griffiths pleaded with him yesterday to reveal where the body is.
Kirsty Rushworth, 21, said she had nothing to live for until her mother Susan is laid to rest.
She said: 'How can I move on with my life when I can't even say goodbye to my mum? I need to be able to bury her, to say I love her and I hope she's watching over me.
'I wanted us to have a better life than this and now there's no chance. But I need to know where her body is, I want him to look me in the eye and tell me what he did to her and where she is and then I can move on.'

Stephen Griffiths has been charged with the murder of Susan Rushworth
She was speaking as the police hunt for her 43-year-old mother's body continued and forensic scientists began examining a suitcase containing tools which was recovered from the river in Bradford that has already given up body parts.

Kirsty Rushworth told a Sunday newspaper that she too was a prostitute and charged £30 a time to feed the same heroin and crack addiction that drove her mother.

She revealed that her mother followed her into the business after seeing the financial benefits her then teenage daughter was enjoying. She said: 'The first time she found out I had sold myself for sex she was horrified, she couldn't understand why I had done it.
'But she started seeing me with money and new clothes and she wanted to know how I got it. Within a few months we were going out together, working the same street, looking for punters. But now I'm in a world I can't get out of and I'm terrified I'll end up like my mum and the other girls.'
Susan Rushworth, a mother of three and grandmother, went missing on June 21 last year. Griffiths, 40, who described himself as the 'Crossbow Cannibal' in court last Friday, has been charged with murdering her and two other prostitutes.
The body parts of Suzanne Blamires, 36, were recovered from the Aire in Shipley last Tuesday. The remains of Shelley Armitage, 31, who vanished a month ago, have not yet been found.
Griffiths was arrested by armed police last Monday after CCTV footage allegedly showing a woman being killed with a crossbow was handed to detectives.
Yesterday West Yorkshire Police confirmed tests were being carried out to discover if further remains found in the Aire on Saturday were 'human or animal'.
Relatives of Griffiths on his mother's side have spoken about their shock for the first time. Joe Dewhirst, an uncle, admitted: 'The entire family has been traumatised. We don't know what to make of it all.'
He said Griffiths - known to the family as Shaun - has had little contact with relatives since he left home before he was 18.
'Apparently he felt abandoned by his family and wanted nothing to do with his mother or any of the Dewhirsts.
'As a youngster he was always a bit of a runt. I always thought a strong puff of wind could blow him over.'
