Five years since Rory Johnson Hatfield last seen in York - North Yorkshire Police
So this is the link about Rory on North Yorkshire Police’s website. At the end is a very well edited film which is 1m:29s long and is divided almost seamlessly into the following 6 sections. Elsewhere in this thread is a video made by family and friends which talks through the events of the day from Rory’s arrival at York train station in the afternoon.
Bear in mind that the Wetherspoons pub and Travelodge Hotel are adjacent in one integral building.
1. From 00:00 to 00:01 At 23:39pm on the night of 19/11/2015, the complex’s internal camera shows Rory and two others, assume the two Scotsmen, pass through an unspecified public area.
2. From 00:01 to 0002 About 18 minutes later, the same camera shows Rory and one other, assume the younger Scotsman, passing through the same area in the opposite direction, perhaps to get stuff from their rooms before going into town.
3. From 00:02 to 00:24 Another 31 minutes later at 0:28am an outside camera in Fishergate shows the pair leave the hotel and walk past the pub entrance in Piccadilly towards a right turn into Tower Street.
4. From 00:24 to 00:41 Three minutes later the camera in St George’s Field car park shows the pair have progressed along Tower Street and have just passed the war memorial as they continue towards Clifton Tower and York’s nightlife.
5. From 00:41 to 01:13 Six minutes later and the same camera captures Rory’s return. Just before he appears a man can be seen waiting in the foreground under a dark tree before he moves away to the right perhaps to get catch his lift from one of the cars emerging along Tower St. Rory’s on his own and is on the wrong side of Tower St to navigate towards his hotel from that spot. He turns very briefly into the entrance to Tower Gardens but quickly returns and then turns right onto the road called Skeldergate Bridge.
6. From 01:13 to 01:29 Seven minutes later and the camera inside City Mill complex shows Rory walking along an external walkway (overlooking the River Ouse) from right to left in front of 2 windows with a glass door in between them, before departing to the left of the second window. Right at the end,
@Ruthbullock has already observed on this thread that Rory takes much longer than expected to get from the door in the middle to the second window.
When he reappears through the second window it seems clear to me that Rory has suddenly gained a rucksack!
Does anyone else see the shape of a rucksack?
