UK UK - Sarah Everard, 33, London - Clapham Common area, 3 March 2021 #3

[ludakristen]

It would make sense that LE has been scouring CCTV and talking to witnesses (they've apparently talked to 750+ people going door to door & taking calls) and basically gathering evidence for a warrant. With all of the CCTV in this area, they MUST know if she went into those flats or if she kept walking, or where she went. It seems so unlikely that they wouldn't know that, to me.

My guess (THIS IS JUST A GUESS!) is they have footage of her going inside those flats, and maybe even footage of her going inside with someone.

The reports state that forensics are preparing to enter the building. Indicating the interest is a flat/area inside.

Like others have said. Was this her planned final destination? MOO but I find it so hard to believe someone unknown to her could take her off that main road. Not impossible sure, but I struggle with that possibility.

This is really sad and I really feel for SE's F&F at this time.

Moo she was dragged inside from the main road sadly

Or that a suspect lives in the flats and they have enough evidence for a warrant.

Someone could already be in for questioning, LE won't release that info or what has warranted this search yet.

Perhaps new CCTV came to light that shows someone/Sarah entering the flats.

@tedtink Just looking at this - interesting that there is a car parked over on the left at the same time there appears to be a scuffle on the right near the McDonald’s?

Can you please post the persons name on twitter so I can look please....I'm searching and can't find it. TIA

I don't think they'd go in in full CSI gear just to execute a warrant tbh.

I'd be surprised if the evidence is in plain sight within the block or it would likely have been found before now by searchers or residents? It suggests potentially it's in a flat and I doubt whoever is in that flat would have let them in willingly.

I got that from your post BeechwoodBlue Someone had only just posted about how maybe there were squatters the flats. The point is, young professionals tend to socialise with other young professionals in similar circles, living in similar housing. This estate, while it may appear to a non-Londoner as social housing or low-income accommodation, might actually be popular among young professional thirty somethings like Sarah and her friends. I don't think it's casting aspersions to do so. It's also possible Sarah had friends who weren't in her immediate circle of affluence etc. The thing about London is, all types of people could actually all live in this building and mostly get along. That is the beauty of the city.

I completely agree.

When we first arrived in London as young professionals in 2000 we lived in exactly these kind of places - in zone 1 in those days as fewer people wanted to live centrally. Many of these places are quite decent inside and still affordable.

Also someone working as a marketing manager in their early 30s isn't necessarily that well off compared to how expensive london is

I don't think they'd go in in full CSI gear just to execute a warrant tbh.

Could be dual purpose - attempt to apprehend a POI/suspect and then carry out forensics on things they believe could be hidden (weapons, trophies, etc.). No idea on LE procedure but could explain the delay/prep in the white suits being outside for some time without going in (they could be waiting for the team that needs to go first).

I am wondering if police have found a link between SE and the occupant(s) of this flat

I used to live in the next block to Poynders about 10 years ago, and actually cut through it a few weeks back to visit someone living nearby. As with most of the block round Clapham South I understand it is a mix of Local Authority housing and private rentals/owned, with a mix of residents of many backgrounds and ages. It generally has quite a nice, civically proud feel - one resident has made a sort of potted garden outside their place on the ground floor last time I walked through. I remember a few boarded up ground floor flats towards the Elms Crescent end that were more run down, including one that looked like its door had recently been kicked in by the police.

Yes - there is evidence a crime occurred inside that building, IMO. Maybe they found evidence of that, or they have someone in custody who is talking. Maybe Sarah was communicating with someone who lived inside and they just needed evidence to search his or her place.

If she is in there and deceased, we are getting into smell territory...

 

[twinpinesmall]

Because it's a hill!

yup yup got that now. thanks

as i'm a bit clueless with this - when you say IMO is that just your opinion or is it based on your knowledge of what it would actually take for forensics to enter a building?

I've posted on page 20 that you can drive around this building off-road on google maps and there is a security camera on the right of the building.

My opinion. I don't think they'd be going in there like that just to interview residents. I think they have evidence suggesting something happened inside. But again, my opinion. I'm not a cop or an expert and don't even live in the UK.

 

[MsMiniSleuth]

Or that a suspect lives in the flats and they have enough evidence for a warrant.

Either they had CCTV footage, a tip off, or someone with a criminal record known to the police lives in that block.

We don't know of course what they have as yet. It might just be her phone or clothing, and not actually her. Or may not be related to her at all. I think if the usual private ambulance arrives that will be telling enough...

 

[Officer Dibble]

With all the escape steps on the back of this building I hope there are Police guarding the rear of the building too.

Agree.
It's possible that LE have sent forensics in to see if she WAS in there at some stage.
She may not be there now.

There are individual back doors and little garden areas to the flats too. Google Maps
