Draft Stort and a Question?

It was almost a dead end as far was the polie was concerned when a man presented himself to the Bridewell in Birkenhead Town Hall to say he had some idea of the identity of the person. His name was Daniel Jones he thought his family were friends of this person who had a shop in Old Chester Road. He'd been friendly at school with the family living Catherine Street, even played there as a child. Eventually the family moved to Tranmere, Rock Ferry and he remembered visiting them there and having a swim at Byrne Avenue Baths with visits to Victoria Park as part of his stop-over.

This might end up being the first paragraph of my story. I'm thinking of starting with a mock-up image of a news story from a newspaper. The headline would be:

MYSTERY REMAINS

Police are asking for help concerning remains found in a derelict house in the Birkenhead area.


What do do think should go first? The story-paragraph or the headline?
