I think he has lucked out to an extent that LE may have cctv of the Astra turning into Beresford Avenue to an assault heard in the park. He will claim he has dropped her off at the bottom of Wellesley Avenue before turning his vehicle at the top of Beresford Avenue to exit on to Beverley Road. Some 15 minutes later! Witness at Claremont Avenue would have seen man running for 40 metres on Oak Road at park exit as it has street lighting.
After abduction and assault he may have run back to his vehicle while LS may have made her way in the opposite direction to assailant. Bench inspected as it's a hard surface and no other signs found of struggle taking place on the ground and possibly still within earshot of witness. I wonder if LE kept the riverside bracken debris to sift through for clothing scraps, fibres, dna?
