Have any of these sketches ever been shared with the general public or are they under lock and key at a police station away from public profile. Halliwell sketches could lead to more gruesome murders, ex-detective reveals

It looks like my question has already been raised. 12 pencil sketches drawn by convicted killer Christopher Halliwell - a Freedom of Information request to Wiltshire Constabulary
In Fulchers book he says to Halliwell "You know Sian wasn't a prostitute?" Halliwell replied " I do now" He mistook her for a prostitute.
I don't think he had anything to do with Claudia Lawrence's disappearance, although it seems likely there are people who do, and who have chosen to keep quiet.
The attempted kidnapping report is interesting, although difficult to assess its credibility.
Thank you for your reply. It's not easy to get credibility for something that happened to a person who didn't realise she was being stalked at the time.
Many thanks. But the police reviewed the Halliwell idea in 2016 and found he hadn't any local connections. They made a statement to that effect in early October 2016. Think that was a response to Fulcher saying that Halliwell's father lived "a few streets away" from Heworth - which was shown to be nonsense; he lived and died in Huddersfield (50 miles away) a full 17 years before the Lawrence disappearance.
There is a fundamental problem with the theory. Claudia Lawrence police say 'unlikely' Christopher Halliwell involved quotes the police as saying that they have evidence from both digital devices (presumably phones) and witnesses placing Halliwell in Swindon when she disappeared. The authors seem to be very selective in their evidence, as I pointed out in their previous use of the Angel Meadows case and the credibility or otherwise of Mark Williams Thomas.
And @Novosti
I agree that such evidence is not absolute proof. However, to overcome the digital and witness evidence requires both that he would have gone to some lengths to cover his tracks for an offence where he would not expect to be a suspect and that the witnesses (rather than digital evidence) are mistaken. I would give the article and authors more credibility if they had not already damaged that by attempting to link unlikely offences (Angel Meadow) and using dodgy sources (Mark Williams Thomas). It is not that it is impossible for Halliwell to be responsible for the Lawrence case but rather that, given the known evidence and slack journalism, he would not be a priority amongst possible directions to pursue.
The article I put on is not Mark William Thomas though it's Tim Hicks and Chris Clark. I am not 100% familiar with the Angel Meadows case but I will look into it now, you have my interest.
We are talking about, in the example of Claudia Lawrence, 2009. Mobile phones were widely available but not used by everyone. A few phones had internet but not easy to use and GPS was not on most phones.
Sure. But even the cell location data (without GPS) is going to locate within a few miles in Swindon, if that report above is accurate. Realistically no police force is going to get a case past the CPS unless they have some evidence that Halliwell was apart from his phone for a few days, and any activity on that phone in this period was done by someone else - with in all likelihood that person, whoever they are, being subject to cross-examination on this point.
