James Allen, the man being hunted in connection with two murders, is currently on court bail, detectives have revealed.
More than 100 officers from the Cleveland and North Yorkshire forces are involved in the search for Mr Allen and the police have now released more details about him.
Detective Chief Superintendent Gordon Lang said the suspect was a drug user who had previous convictions for violence and had spent time in prison.
In addition, he confirmed Mr Allen had been released on court bail and was also under investigation for other offences, but would not say what they were.
DCS Lang added his team had established that Mr Allen used to live next door to Mr Dunford in Leven Street, Middlesbrough around a year ago.
Police have received reports of a number of sightings and are now following up those leads, but have warned the suspect should not be approached.
'People should take common-sense precautions, safety first. Lock their doors, lock their windows and check who's knocking on your door,' DCS Lang said.
'Clearly this is a man who is a dangerous man, but we are putting absolutely everything into finding him, tracking him down and bringing him to justice.'
Mr Dunford's body was discovered at his home in Middlesbrough and a post-mortem showed he had suffered serious head injuries as a result of an assault.
Ms Davison, who was found dead at her flat, had also suffered head injuries.
